9/22/2023 0 Comments Ronal the barbarian 2The characters are all generally likable, with Ronal joined by a sex obsessed bard's apprentice, a warrior maiden on a mission, and an overly touchy Elven guide, all of whom fit well into the adventure and get their moments to shine by the end. Being an English dub of a foreign film, the mouth movements don't always fit the words just right, and it can get distracting from time to time, but if you can get past that, I found that it was otherwise very easy to get into. When they're kidnapped by a black knight, Ronal is thrust into an adventure right out of Dungeons and Dragons to claim a sacred sword and kill the bad guy before he can summon the beasts of Hell. Ronal The Barbarian follows the titular would be hero, a cowardly weakling among a tribe of muscle-bound warriors who just wants to do whatever he can to get out of the quests his people constantly venture out on. A CG send up of sword and sorcery movies with a heavy metal sensibility and a surprisingly adult tone, I found myself enjoying this movie much more than I thought I would. It doesn't, but that doesn't mean that there isn't a lot to like about Ronal The Barbarian. In one of the best years for animation in recent memory, perhaps it is too much to ask for a straight to DVD dubbed movie from the Netherlands to live up to the likes of Paranorman, Wreak It Ralph, or Rise of the Guardians.
