Another one of Burbank Films Australia's better efforts

Being someone who generally likes Burbank's offerings and greatly enjoys the story, while sometimes having corny dialogue and moments where the pace was a little too slow, I liked this version of Ivanhoe. The animation is not the best I've seen, but while the character designs could've been less sketchy the colours and backgrounds are really quite nice. The music is rousing also, and I did appreciate that a lot of detail went into the story so generally the plot did move along nicely. Adaptation-wise it is not as good as Wind in the Willows, but it is far better than the likes of Prisoner of Zenda or The Odyssey, you actually unlike those two versions actually feel the spirit is there at least here. The characters are not as interesting naturally as the ones in the original story, understandable considering the running time, but they are still engaging, while the voice work is solid. Overall, a good effort. 8/10 Bethany Cox

The adventure genre features exciting journeys, quests, or expeditions undertaken by characters who often face challenges, obstacles, and risks in pursuit of a goal. Adventures can take place in a wide range of settings, from exotic and fantastical locations to historical or even everyday environments.

Animation is a form of visual storytelling that involves creating visual art and motion through the use of various techniques and technologies. In animation, images are manipulated to create the illusion of movement, bringing characters, objects, and environments to life. Animation can encompass a wide range of styles, themes, and intended audiences, making it a diverse and versatile form of storytelling.
