Spellbound (2024)
Source
This animated film, directed by Vicky Jenson, co-director of Shrek, is a little gem that mixes magic, music and jaw-dropping visuals.
Alan Menken, the genius behind so many soundtracks we adore, does it again!
His music not only accompanies, but elevates the story of Ellian, the princess who has to save her family after a spell.
Visually, it's a spectacle. Lumbria's scenery is so detailed that it looks like you can touch it.

I loved the colors and how everything contributes to the magical atmosphere. Rachel Zegler voices Ellian and she does an extraordinary job. It's one of those vocal performances that you feel, not just hear.
I will say that the script doesn't invent the wheel; the story has that predictable air that we already know in fantasy movies. But honestly, when you have animation of this level and such a powerful soundtrack, who's complaining?
Certainly, the proposal is well crafted and becomes an adorable pastime that can be enjoyed by both children and adults, taking into consideration that it is a film that is intended for both audiences because of its theme and message.
However, the journey is not entirely convincing, because at times the film gets stuck in wanting to emphasize where the final message takes us and there we lose a bit of emotion added to the fact that not all of its songs are effective unfortunately.
The content of the film is fantastic. Although it seems to be aimed at children, its message is more aimed at parents.
The story keeps the pace up until the end. The songs are very pleasant. The drawings are excellent with characters with a lot of personality.

One more review to convince me in checking this movie out, I'll have it on my list for the times when I want to take a break from long kdramas hehe.
I'm loving the cinematography already, nice review.
It is a movie not only to forget the dramas but also to enjoy and relax.
