It’s absolutely as terrible as others are reviewing. I haven’t even known a third movie was made until much later, let alone seen it. I decided to watch out of curiosity after reading the original book for a second time. There’s nothing redeeming about this film. It’s done cheaply as if it were only a knockoff version of the original. Even the book, with its Auryn symbol are redesigned. I’m curious if there was a problem with securing the original rights. I know it’s supposed to be a kids movie, but it’s so bad, I think even kids would hate it. Story wise, there’s hardly any consistency in the characters or their design when it comes to the puppets. Falkor is even less like a luck dragon and more like a lazy, floppy dog. The cheesiness in this movie is overwhelming even for it’s time. Atreyu is completely left out and the Childlike Empress is played by an adult. Skip it.

I enjoyed it. As someone else said, it was cute and simple. If you love anime and cats, you’ll like this one.
