However Knights have been banished from the Kingdom by The Queen and replaced by Lawyers and their strict rules. But after an inspiring visit to his beloved Gran, Justin's mission becomes clear. He bids farewell to his sweetheart Lara and embarks on the ultimate quest: to train to become a Knight. Along the way he meets the beautiful, but feisty, Talia a quirky wizard called Melquiades; the handsome, but misguided, Sir Clorex and upon reaching the Tower of Wisdom is mentored by the three wise monks; Blucher, Legantir and Braulio. However Justin soon learns that banished Knight Sir Heraclio is putting together an army, with his faithful sidekick Sota, to overthrow The Queen and take the Kingdom. Justin must quickly rise to the challenge and find the courage to become the Knight he truly wishes to be. (RottenTomatoes)
Visual Arts: I was surprised by the quality of animation and story of this film had, considering it was made from a foreign studio. They've done a great job creating a world where kings and queens ruled the world. The environment is so rich and so is the architecture. (8/10)
Character Design: The character design is beautiful and attracting. The animation of Justin, his Gran, Lara, and Talia are really well designed. Those are not puppet kind of moving people. They are make believable and you care about them. Other characters are rather simply designed but it surprises me how many characters this movie contains. (8/10)
Characters: No character is the same. Every character has his color. From the adventurer Justin to Sir Clorex, they symbolize real life people like us. Who do we choose to be? Risk it all and follow your heart, or play around wearing a knight suit pretending to be one? (7/10)
The Story: While it's not perfect, the story is no junk, it's a real deal. The people behind this really thought through it. To my surprise the story had some twisty events. What makes a true hero or a beautiful girl? It's not a suit you put or a pretty looking face you have. It's the inside goodness that makes a true hero or a beautiful girl. (7/10)
My Rating: 71%
