About
You’ll likely enjoy Arco if you like heartfelt, kid-friendly sci-fi time-travel stories with warmth and mischief; Not for you if you’re only into polished visuals or prefer tightly unified, perfect execution like Asterix & Obelix: The Big Fight or Long Way North.
Pros: touching family adventure; imaginative sci-fi premise; plenty of mischief | Cons: mixed animation quality; not perfectly cohesive overall
