The topic: For review “Delgo”

----------------------------------------------

Delgo:

When a rebellious boy forms a forbidden friendship with a spunky princess, hostilities between their two kingdoms escalate, setting the stage for an exiled Empress to exact her revenge in Delgo, debuting on DVD August 4 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.

Starring a talented voice cast including Freddie Prinze Jr. (Scooby Doo), Jennifer Love Hewitt (“Ghost Whisperer”), Val Kilmer (The Doors), Chris Kattan (“Saturday Night Live”), Kelly Ripa (“Live with Regis and Kelly”), Anne Bancroft (The Graduate) in her final film appearance, Lou Gossett Jr. (An Officer and a Gentleman) and Burt Reynolds (Smokey and the Bandit) among others, Delgo takes place in a magical world where two civilizations, divided by fear, and two hearts, guided by love, have one chance to save their world. With the help of a devious traitor and two bumbling servants, an exiled Empress (Bancroft) kidnaps the Nohrin princess (Hewitt) and frames a Lockni teenager, Delgo (Prinze Jr.), for the crime, igniting a war between their people. Desperate to clear his name and rescue the princess, Delgo and his faint-hearted friend Filo (Kattan) join forces with a disgraced Nohrin commander (Kilmer) to prove Delgo’s innocence, rescue a princess, reveal a traitor, end a war and unite the peoples of the land before it’s too late.

I watched this yesterday.  I don’t remember having heard anything about it when it came out.  I don’t remember ads on television for it.  I don’t even know if it did play in theaters or went straight to video.

I wish I had kids or grandkids to get a different perspective on it, but honestly?  I didn’t care for it at all.  The animation was clunky. The best animation was the wings.  The storyline was okay, it had a message to it as so many kids movies do. 

It just really reminded me more of a long Saturday morning cartoon than a full length feature film. Truthfully, I thought I’d like it more because of the actors voicing the parts, but it just didn’t do anything for me.

Unless you’ve got kids or grandkids, my advice is to pass on Delgo.
