Home Movie: The Princess Bride is a comedic nearly line-for-line "home movie"-style recreation of the 1987 film The Princess Bride in miniseries form. Directed by Jason Reitman, it was released on the streaming service Quibi as a ten-episode miniseries from June 29th to July 8th, 2020 for charity, to benefit the World Central Kitchen during the COVID-19 Pandemic.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The plot is familiar to anyone who has watched the original film- a boy staying home sick from school listens to a story read by his grandfather about evil princes, pirates, swashbuckling, swordfights, and true love conquering all. The catch, however, is that every character in this classic film is played by a different celebrity in each scene while they were all isolated at home in the early days of the pandemic, using homemade costumes, props, and whatever locations each actor had access to in their respective private homes and backyards, all shot on smartphones with the actors' family members as crew. Hilarity Ensues.Since the demise of Quibi in December 2020, this series' availability to the general public has been left up in the air, as it was not acquired alongside the rest of Quibi's library when Roku purchased the streaming service's assets in January 2021. There is currently no legal way to watch the series proper, and no official promotional material or clips remain accessible to the general public.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })It can be found in multiple places on YouTube, including here.Note that spoilers for the events of the original 1987 film will be unmarked, and that only tropes specific to this particular adaptation should be on this page. Although, to be honest, this series is not nearly as effective unless you've watched the original. | |

The Alleged Steed: During Tom Lennon's turn as Humperdinck, the horses are subbed during his portion of the search for Buttercup with small dogs held to his and his son's chests, bent over like they're leaning over a horse, as the actors replicate a horse gallop. | |

| Home Movie: The Princess Bride / int_5a40d6a | comment |
Adaptation Distillation: Some scenes deemed unnecessary for the target audience of people who know the original were cut for time to meet Quibi's ten-minute limit on episode length, such as Westley's explanation to Buttercup on how he became the Dread Pirate Roberts. | |
