“This animation is adventurous with specks of comedy and laughter throughout the film. Itu0026#39;s an enjoyable film to watch. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe Shane Gang is back and they now have the power and talents of five Slugslingers. With new member Junjie, they discover that they and their world are in deep trouble. The Elemental Slugs are being corrupted by an evil force and the only way to stop them is to gather up all of the 5 elementals, before itu0026#39;s too late.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSurprisingly, I really enjoy this movie with having all the Elementals coming together for a common cause. The aspect of the film that I love the most is that you never know whatu0026#39;s going to happen next and it keeps you guessing. The action and anticipation makes it great especially when watching the fighting scenes. The film keeps moving at a good pace. It has lots of colors, but it is dark at times. The comedy keeps the film light and it never stays very serious for too long. Speaking of comedy, my favorite character is Pronto (Lee Tockar, voice), because heu0026#39;s funny and heu0026#39;s definitely the goof of the group. He is doing things that you wouldnu0026#39;t think that he would do.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOther voice actors include Sam Vincent (Eli Shane), Shannon Chan-Kent (Trixie) and Andrew Francis (Kord Zane). They all have high energy and are true to their on screen characters. The interaction between all of the slugs is great. Director, Johnny Darrel, is no stranger to adventurous animations, he also directed Hot Wheels: Battle Force 5 (2009), Spider-Man (2003) and Heavy Gear: The Animated Series (2001). u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTrust people who have proved they can be trusted and whou0026#39;s good for you is one great message in this film. Trust is earned and not just given away. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI recommend Slugterra: Return of the Elementals for ages 8 to 14. Itu0026#39;s a film thatu0026#39;s perfect for a family movie night. Kids who love being courage and animation, this is your film. I give this film 4 out of 5 five stars because it interests me, itu0026#39;s adventurous and funny at times. I love the message about trusting.
