"The 10th Kingdom," from award-winning executive producer Robert Halmi, Sr. and Hallmark Entertainment, stars Kimberly Williams ("Father of the Bride") as Virginia. This young New York waitress is suddenly transported through a vortex in Central Park into a fantastic alternate reality, where familiar fairy tales are reinvented in often hilarious, sometimes sinister new and grown-up ways. The series also stars John Larroquette as Virginia's father, Dianne Wiest as the evil queen, Ed O'Neill as the Troll King, and Camryn Manheim as Snow White.

Visitors transported into the enchanted realm of "The 10th Kingdom" Web site will find a magic mirror as their navigational element through time and space, between modern-day Manhattan and the Nine Kingdoms of the fairy tales.

In Phase I (now operative), users will enjoy an all-Shockwave experience as they explore the interactive map of the Nine Kingdoms: visiting Red Riding Hood Forest, Dragon Mountain (population: 7 Trolls and 1 dead dragon), Troll King Palace, Kissing Town and the Snow White Memorial Prison, among other bewitching locales. Witty background information provides deeper insight into the series' characters.

In Phase II (operative January 31), visitors may play such interactive Shockwave games as the Jackrabbit Jackpot Game, the Sheep Tile game, and the Tarot Game (read your fortune at your own risk!). Also in Phase II, a thorough Reference Guide will offer concise versions of the traditional fairy tales featured in the miniseries, and a time line of the 200 years since the Brothers Grimm visited the Nine Kingdoms.

"The Web site and online marketing campaign are a perfect complement to our elaborate marketing plan for 'The 10th Kingdom,'" said John Miller, President, The NBC Agency. "The Web site is an opportunity to work closely with our Internet partners at NBCi to create an imaginative adventure experience for our viewers even before they watch the program."

"A miniseries as innovative as this one demands a Web site that is equally ingenious," says Katharine English, NBC Internet Inc.'s Vice President of Entertainment. "Because 'The 10th Kingdom' is unlike anything you've ever seen before, we felt it was crucial to provide an online component that doesn't just parallel the series, but lures you deeper into its magic. By using cutting-edge multimedia applications and offering users so many interactive opportunities, we feel that Web site visitors will enjoy a unique experience that truly extends the series' fantastic alternate reality."
