The Fairy King of Ar (originally released asBeings[2]) is a 1998 Britishdirect-to-videofantasyadventure film co-written, co-produced and directed by Paul Matthews. It starsCorbin Bernsen,Glynis Barber andMalcolm McDowell.
Since as far back as Kyle and Evie Preston can remember, their grandmother told fantastical tales about fairies who had been trapped underground by giants for thousands of years. Now their grandmother is gone, and the siblings are surprised to discover that she has left them a decrepit gold mine and a family home they never even knew existed. Upon discovering that grandmother's far-fetched stories have a bizarre basis in reality, and that by freeing the fairies from the mine they will discover a cure for their terminally ill father, Kyle and Evie race against time to free the trapped fairies and save their father's life.
Andy Giese writing for the "Tofu Nerdpunk" praised McDowell's performance, but criticized theCGI and thespecial effects.[3] Edwin L. Carpenter writing for the Christian websiteThe Dove Foundation called the film "a delight for both kids and adults".[4]
