Albion the Enchanted Stallion

A fantasy movie from 2016 starring some great names (John Cleese!!!) Noshi and I sat down thursday and had a look at this flick.

It`s the sort of family style movies, not heavy and intense fantasy, but that you just sit back and let come over you with not to high expectations.

The story is basically that a 12 year old girl, Evie, is transported to a fantasy world by a black stallion.  Now, truth to be told, it's a Kelpie, and not a horse, so no stallions where actually involved... false advertising ;-) .  Here she learns that there is a war going on between the good Danaan and the evil general and his forces, and the farmer like Danaan are losing badly.

However, over the course of the adventure to find a way and overthrown the general by amassing four mystical artifacts, it turns out she is actually the daughter of the Danaan queen, and her father who is the fled son of the general.  And as such she becomes the most valuable person in the land of Albion, as her half blood nature makes her the person who can single handidly end the curse that entraps the Danaan underground.

It`s a nice made film on the visual part, and Cleese is, well, Cleese.  While the story is a bit predictable (hey, it`s a kid's movie), its one of those things you can just sit back with and enjoy without cracking up your brain.

Good to watch if you have children or one of those I don`t want to think to much TV evenings.
