I recently had the opportunity to see a sneak preview of the trailer for the new fantasy action-adventure movie Delgo which will appear in theaters on December 12. The all star cast of voices includes Freddie Prinze, Jr. (Delgo), Jennifer Love Hewitt (Princess Kyla), Anne Bancroft (exiled Empress Sedessa) as well as Chris Kattan (Filo), Val Kilmer (Bogardus), Lou Gossett Jr. (Nohrin King), Michael Clarke Duncan (Lockni Stonesage Council), Kelly Ripa (Kurrin), Burt Reynolds (Delgo’s Father) and Sally Kellerman (Narrator).
From the press release:
The story takes place in the magical land of Jhamora which is divided between two cultures – the Nohrin, winged masters of the skies, and the Lockni, the terrestrial tribe who harness the mystical powers of the land. When Delgo (Freddie Prinze, Jr.), a reckless Lockni teenager, forms a forbidden friendship with the spunky Nohrin Princess Kyla (Jennifer Love Hewitt), hostilities between the two peoples escalate, setting the stage for an exiled empress (Anne Bancroft) to exact her revenge and reclaim her rule.
Falsely imprisoned, Delgo and his best friend, Filo (Chris Kattan), must put aside their differences to join forces with a sworn enemy, Bogardus (Val Kilmer), and travel to the mysterious land of Perran to rescue Princess Kyla. Here they encounter fanciful creatures and discover more than just a kidnapped princess, they learn the value of different cultures and the importance of working together.
I’ll admit the characters are a little strange looking to me, but the quality of the animation is outstanding and the movie does offer up an important lesson in character. Delgo is rated PG and has a running time of 90 minutes.
Wow. Those are some big names. I haven’t heard of this but that one little pic you have there, the animation looks amazing!
How did you get your job of reviewing new movies?? thats so cool!
we saw the previews while waiting for Bolt. it seemed a little much for my 4 yo and 6 yo, but i could be wrong. what do you think?
