What does everybody think? My family is on episode 4 and we absolutely love it. For me, It took an episode getting used to because it does feel different than the film. Much more information is thrown at you than the movie.
To me, it feels like not only a natural extension of the movie, but the grand expansion of its mythology that it has always deserved. The writing, puppeteering, visuals, music, voice work… it’s been frankly astonishingly good.
I agree. The mythology was always something that you had to learn more about through Brian Froud interviews, comics, and things like that. All of a sudden we get a semi-LotR level of the past we’ve been trying to piece together for nearly 40 years.
