About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like cult animated fantasy with a dark, weird edge and lots of music, somewhere between Wizards and The Last Unicorn; Not for you if you want a tidy plot or kid-friendly vibes.
Pros: unforgettable villain; great rock soundtrack; imaginative world | Cons: messy story flow; uneven pacing; weak lead characters
