Voyage of the Unicorn

When we still had Hallmark at home, I saw Voyage of the Unicorn at least once every two months. It wasn't one of my favorite TV movies, (I count Merlin in particular among them), but I still watched it from time to time. Nowadays, it comes across as too TV-ish for me, unfortunately in a bad way. In my opinion, what hurts the film the overkill and the attempt to please a particularly child audience, which was especially reflected in the bullshit and at times uncomfortably affected acting of the characters, whom I didn't find particularly likable, which was especially true of the Minotaur, Malaki and some of the trolls. The production design, make-up and visual effects weren't too bad under the circumstances, but as I said, there are better Hallmark films out there. (09/12/2016)
