I didn't like Onward so much. It was boring to me. This film on the other hand kept me interested all the way through. The animation was really good, even better than onward I think. Certainly better than Pixar's other films. Tom Green has a small role in this movie but he is the most recognizable name in the cast, which is a shame because there is a really good story at the heart of the movie. People will claim this is a ripoff of Onward even though it's not. This film came out before Onward, so if anything Onward is a ripoff of Homeward. Tom Green does great voice work. I could easily see him lending his voice to an iconic animated character like Woody or Shrek.

Arondir is a way better character than Galadriel. She's too wooden and her story is quite boring. The hobbits - sorry, "harfoots" - aren't much better. Their interactions with the meteor man feel much too cliche. It reminds me of the hobbit movies (and, if you've seen those movies, you know that's not intended as a compliment). The actor for Elrond is ok. I don't like his story with the dwarves though. It feels weird, like I'm watching Star Trek instead of Lord of the Rings. And I do not care for the dwarves. Gimli worked because he was the single dwarf among elves and men. As we have seen from the hobbit (to reference those films again) the more dwarves you have, the worse your experience as a viewer is going to be. So yes, I like Arondir but they should have left out his love story. Why? Because we've seen the elf/human love story already in Peter Jackson's films, and it was done much better in those there. It seems like an attempt to recapture that magic. Just focus on Arondir and his adventure and add some stakes. The show feels too safe right now.

This was so bad I thought it was an asylum movie! But no! This thing was supposed to be taken seriously! Lmao. This movie was horribly filmed, like a teenager who just got their first video camera made it. Also the acting was some of the worst I've ever seen! How could anyone watch this and not cringe at the stupidity? Your guess is as good as mine. If you want to watch a good movie that works as a social satire, keep looking. There are many good ones available, but take my word for it, this is not the movie you're searching for! No wonder it's free to watch on some third rate streaming service. Lol.
