[[redirect:Literature/ThePrincessAndTheGoblin]]''The Princess and the Goblin'' is a 1992 children's fantasy film based on [[Literature/ThePrincessAndTheGoblin the novel by George MacDonald]]. It was directed by József Gémes, and was jointly animated in Hungary and Wales.

When a peaceful kingdom is menaced by an army of monstrous goblins, the brave and beautiful Princess Irene joins forces with resourceful peasant boy Curdie to rescue the noble king and all his people. The lucky pair must battle the evil power of the wicked goblin prince armed only with the gift of song, the miracle of love, and a magical shimmering thread.
----
!!This film contains examples of:

* ActionGirl: The Queen goblin is the toughest character in the film.
* AdaptationNameChange: Harelip to Froglip.
* AdultsAreUseless:
** The amount of creatures the guards manage to prevent getting into the castle can be counted on one hand, including Curdie. Not to mention Lootie constantly loses Irene, and nobody believes her about her great-grandmother or the goblins.
** [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure Except the King]], who trusts his daughter's judgement.
* AgonyOfTheFeet: The feet are the most sensitive part of a goblin's body, [[AttackItsWeakPoint and the heroes use this to their advantage]].
* AristocratsAreEvil: The goblin royal family, Prince Froglip and his parents. (Though not the human King and Princess Irene.)
* BadassBoast: Froglip gets one.
--> '''Froglip:''' I want to have them eating the ''dirt'' from under my '''[[LargeHam FINGERNAILLLLLLLLLLL]][[SpeechImpediment THPTHPTTH]]!'''
* BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad: The goblins.
-->'''Froglip:''' Above ground, we were forced to obey...''laws''. To ''help others''. To be ''friendly to people!'' ''[laughs]'' Impossible!
* CaptainObvious
-->'''Curdie:''' It's like a village... a goblin village. Whoa... this must be where the goblins live!
* CardCarryingVillain: Froglip.
* CatsAreMean: Completely averted by Irene's cat, Turnip, who is one of her most loyal companions, but played straight by one of the goblin's pets, a fork-tailed demonic cat creature.
* CuteKitten
* DisneyVillainDeath: [[spoiler:Froglip, and a good number of other goblins via the InevitableWaterfall.]]
* DubNameChange: The hungarian dub renamed Irene to Angelica, Curdie to Kófic and Prince Froglip to Prince Varangy (=Toad). Turnip's name was directly translated.
* {{Gainaxing}}: [[FanDisservice The Goblin Queen.]]
* GeniusBruiser: The goblin Queen is not only a badass but she covers her WeakPoint. Considering no other goblin does that she definetly qualifies
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar:

** Froglip pleading with his mother to let him deal with Curdie when the goblins capture him involve him saying, "I could do such ''nasty things'' to him!"
* IncessantChorus: "A Spark Inside Us". It's a song about singing, but it helps that singing is a highly effective weapon.
* InevitableWaterfall: One is formed after the castle is flooded.
* LargeHam: Prince Froglip.
* MadeOfIron: Curdie can survive falling down a ''cave'' without a scratch, but when he falls down the stairs he's unconscious.
* MommasBoy: The Goblin Prince is constantly doted and praised by his goulish mother.
* PrincessesPreferPink: Irene.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: The King instantly believes Irene about the goblins.
* SpeechImpediment: The Goblin prince has a wet lisp who sprays saliva over everyone.
* StaircaseTumble: How Curdie hurts his leg.
* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: The few guards that defend the castle are so grossly incompetent that it makes one wonder how the kingdom has managed to last so long under their protection.
* TooDumbToLive: Despite the fact that their feet are their weak spot, only one goblin in the entire film ever thinks to wear shoes.
* TookALevelInBadass: Curdie grabbing a sword and joining the guards to fight the goblins, and Irene going to the caves to rescue Curdie by herself.
* WeaksauceWeakness: The Goblins hate and are utterly repelled by singing (even their pets), and this allows the humans to drive back their forces.
* YouDidntAsk: After narrowly escaping the tunnels full of evil goblins, Irene wants to kiss Curdie to thank him for saving her life, but [[AlmostKiss they are interrupted]] by Lootie.
-->'''Lootie:''' ''[hollering insistently from the castle grounds]'' Princess Irene!\\
'''Curdie:''' ''"Princess"?!'' You didn't tell me you were a princess!\\
'''Irene:''' You didn't ask.
