The Whipping Boy is an interesting entry in the realm of family TV movies from the 90s. It's got this playful tone that contrasts nicely with some heavier themes of responsibility and friendship. The dynamic between the prince and the whipping boy feels genuine, and you can really see their characters evolve through their misadventures. The pacing can be a bit uneven at times, but it allows for some heartfelt moments that I think resonate well. The practical effects aren't groundbreaking, but they serve the story just fine. Performances have that youthful charm, capturing the innocence of childhood. It’s not your typical royal tale, and that's what makes it stand out a bit more.
