Forget the shopping and the wrapping and the baking for a couple of hours and go see a movie. I know it’s hard with all the responsibilities surrounding us this time of year, but the animated film Delgo may be just what you need to re-charge and inspire you!
Delgo is the story of a forgotten enemy and a forbidden romance and the fantastic adventure that ensues. The graphics are stunning and beautifully dreamy and the characters look and sound like a lot of fun!
Here is some info from the press release:
Fast-paced action and adventure, a mystical land, an unlikely hero, a princess and a message of acceptance between different cultures make Delgo the perfect family-friendly movie this holiday season.
Releasing in theaters December 12, Delgo’s impressive voice cast 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).
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 really recommend visiting the Delgo website and watching the trailers (I preferred the second one to the first one) to really get a feel for the beauty of the film. At first I was a little taken aback by the looks of the characters (lizards are not my favorite things…I like cute furry critters) but after watching the trailer, I am hooked.
Thanks to Team Mom, I also get to share with you an exclusive still image from the movie, which you can see below.
Delgo will be in theaters on December 12th.
