Sep 27, 2018 Based on a popular show from the 60's, Here comes the Grump, A Wizard's Tale picks up on what made this show great in its creation of an interesting and fantastical world. If the world straight from a child's imagination doesn't capture you then the characters will. With the talented voices of Toby Kebbell, Lily Collins, and Ian McShane, the characters are give depth that you don't find in every animated movie these days and add an interesting layer of realism to the characters and the story. The characters are very easy to connect to, whether it be Terry, Toby Kebbell, a boy being thrown about in this crazy upside world trying to find some sense of normal, or Princess Dawn, Lily Collins, a girl who is waiting for things to come to her before realizing that things don't work that way and you need to do things for yourself. Even the villain of The Grump, Ian McShane has an interesting and real back story for the viewers to connect to. This movie led me on an adventure that I won't be soon to forget. See more

Ron R Sep 26, 2018 Intertwining a story of loss and self-discovery, Ice Age 2's Jim Hecht delivers a magical coming-of-age story with A Wizard's Tale. Hecht pens the story of Terry (voiced by Toby Kebbell), a young man from London that is searching for his purpose in life in the wake of a personal tragedy. When everything starts crumbling around him, Terry finds himself launched into a magical kingdom that is seemingly straight from his grandmother's storybook. As he struggles to find his way back home, Terry must overcome obstacles both in the kingdom but also within himself. The film's script is supported by flawless animation and a soundtrack that conveys every twist and turn Terry faces. A Wizard's Tale manages to bring in that sense of childhood nostalgia and pair it with events that some adults face every day. This is a film that I can easily say I'd enjoy whether I'm six or twenty-six, so I'd highly suggest this story for the next family movie night. See more

Sep 21, 2018 As someone with two younger sisters I am always watching animated movies and so when I found out about it I jumped to watch A Wizard's Tale. The soundtrack and vibrant colors are beautiful, the characters were bubbly, and the adventure held me captive. It's funny, quirky, and lighthearted while still managing to tell the always relevant message that girls don't need a prince to save them. I can't wait to share this film with my family the next time I see them. See more

Sep 20, 2018 A Wizard's Tale is a family suitable animation that is full of adventure from start to finish. When Terry, a teenage boy mourning his grandmother has trouble keeping her theme park alive, he is suddenly transported to a magical land. This wacky kingdom never failed to keep my attention, and in order to find his way back home, he must find the power within himself to save the day. This feature portrays the hero we all struggle to find within ourselves during hardships. The director, Andres Couturier, transforms a heart-warming journey into an upbeat and fun adventure. Lily Collins, Toby Kebbell and Ian McShane brought each character to life with their talent in an exciting and irresistible way. A Wizard's Tale emphasizes bravery, confidence and the importance of family. My little brothers would fawn over this movie and I can't wait to watch it again with them. See more
