I have seen the trailer online; now I had watch the film, and I find this great animated film AWESOME! I would defy anyone to dislike this film (or any other fantasy/literary film) like I do; and as I said a million times, I was shocked, surprised and flabbergasted by the negative reviews I would see on the web, I thought the animation and casting are excellant.
In this animated film based on the popular series of fantasy books, about six friends - a half-elf, a dwarf, a warrior and his twin brother a mage, a knight and a kender (a person that looks like a mini elf) - have come together once again after spending five years searching for proof that the gods do in fact exist. Sadly, they unite amidst rumors of a growing evil and an impending war - but now, with horror and chaos looming on the horizon, the goal of their searches may finally be within their grasp in the form of a barbarian warrior princess bearing a mysterious crystal blue staff. A threat like none of them have seen is poised to overtake their homeland, but if these heroes can stand against it, they will become legends.
I had read the trilogy after I had seen the film...I know that is a bit unorthodox to you but...that's me; now it became one of my favorite fantasy trilogies.
