Amazing for long time fans of TOA but ruined by ending
(TLDR) As a long time fan you will have a good time watching this movie. It has the same feel and style of the series with more budget and scale. Falls flat and ruins the entire series with the ending. If you are a fan of the world and characters, do yourself a favor and stop at Wizards. Will leave you with a better satisfying conclusion than this movie.
I have been a huge fan of Tales of Arcadia since the first season of Trollhunters I was very excited about this movie and it's finale for this world and it's characters. This movie however ruined the entire series.
Without going overly in-depth with the entire plot and characters I'll just say that the fight scenes and general plot is great. Animation is even more amazing. The characters are the same as in the series and feel the same in this.
{{SPOILERS AHEAD}}
The ending is just awful. It completely ruins the characters as far as motivations and character arcs. Toby dying was a good conclusion to his character. He got a full arch and finally got to be a useful character and not just the comedic relief but then going back to the beginning reversed everything we have seen every character in this series go through. It makes the journey we have been on with these characters and world feel incomplete since it never happened. Not only that but Jim deciding to let Toby become the Trollhunter instead of him just completely ruins it. All in all it's just the worst ending they could have made for the characters and the universe.
Also Steve's character and just everything with him loses this 5 stars immediately, just no, with all of him in this.
