3Below: Tales of Arcadia

The Tales of Arcadia team continues to do incredible work. I loved Trollhunters, but I honestly may like this new series even more. It's funny, imaginative, thoughtful, and beautifully animated. I really wish I could give it more than 10 stars.

It is what it is for a kid's show. One dimensional characters with slapstick humor that you pretend to laugh at but it's not really funny at all.

After Trollhunters I was expecting the same outstanding depth of storytelling. Clearly something went wrong along the way.

Great voice acting. Fast paced. Witty. Lots of fun. Tatiana Maslany!

I think this is a classic case of a rather boring premise being put in the hands of great writers. The story itself is about as simple as you can get: another classic tale about aliens secretly taking refuge on Earth. As such I feel like I've already seen the story many times before. There's also a lot of plotholes, easily-confusing details and scenes that feel rushed. However, there are a few unique twists, and in addition the animation and actors do a really good job of portraying a mood that keeps you immersed in an otherwise shallow premise. I feel the voice actors, in particular, do a phenomenal job of making the world feel alive. Definitely interesting but only if you don't look too deep into it.

Guillermo and Tales of Arcadia Team streak again. After Trollhunters, another good work indeed. Well writing and amazing score, is real match with this storyline.
