A Wizard’s Tale is blandly animated, badly edited, terribly, terribly written and its dearth of creativity hurts its core conceit. While most of the voice actors try their best, it is all for naught.

Charismatic voice acting, vibrant visuals, and an exciting storyline- these are just a few of the enticing elements of movie A Wizard’s Tale. I thought this movie did a really great job of instilling the overall message that love is key. Audience members witness the heartbreak of a once joyful wizard (Ian McShane), and watch him turn his kingdom into a place of gloom due to his negative feelings. In this adventurous animated film, main character Terry (Toby Kebbell) fights to keep his late grandmother’s amusement park afloat while simultaneously working side by side with a princess (Lily Collins). There is a something to be learned here for the movie viewers of all ages, and I interpreted that as similar to the universal message of just being kind to others. Director Andres Couturier gets across simple themes in such creative and original ways. I would very much so recommend this movie to you if you're a fan of easily enjoyable movies.

Transported to a magic realm Terry, played by Toby Kebbell, finds that all the stories that his grandmother told to him as a child were all true. Now with the kingdom in peril from the evil wizard The Grump, played by Ian McShane, Terry and Princess Dawn, played by Lily Collins, must travel this magical realm to save the kingdom. This film is a roller coaster of fun and adventure the whole way through. With top notch animation and voice actors that really add to their characters this film has a refreshing amount of depth that isn’t found in many films today.

This movie was so cute and charming. If you like animation, you will probably like this movie animated by Adrian Fuentes and Samuel Arturo Rico. Everything from the bright and magical colors to the clarity of animation make the movie so great. This movie had me on the edge of seat the whole time with all the adventure and emotional appeals. If you love fairytales and happy endings, this movie is for you!

A Wizard’s Tale is an animated film about a boy who will do anything to save his grandma’s amusement park, traveling to a magical kingdom along the way. Craig Kellman’s animation brings this story to life with vibrant colors and goofy characters. Watching this tale of good vs. evil was a fun experience and left me feeling a new sense of optimism towards life and its magical possibilities. For anyone looking for a new movie to watch that will make them feel like a kid again, this is one I can absolutely recommend.

I liked this movie a lot more than I thought I would. The film’s plot goes something like this: just after learning that his amusement park is set to close, a young boy is whisked away to a magical land called Groovynham (great name by the way) where he must find a way to restore happiness to the kingdom and save his amusement park too. Overall, it’s one funny movie. The part where they visit the coffee shop run by a bunch of balloons made me laugh especially hard. Great writing there (though that should be no surprise to anyone, since the writer, Jim Hecht, also wrote Ice Age 2). If you’re looking for an amazing adventure suitable for younger kids, give A Wizard’s Tale a shot.

A Wizard’s Tale is a good vs. evil animation feature that will keep your attention the whole time! Director Andres Couturier portrayed this story line with color and magic to bring his characters to life. The story line about a teenage boy who must save his grandmother’s theme park is heart-warming and family oriented. I’d recommend this movie to people of all ages!

Orrido in tutto e per tutto, salvo solo l’animazione che è molto carina e se usato in un altro progetto ne verrebbe fuori un capolavoro
