It was a box office smash, though it had almost no lasting buzz. A safe bet when you want something reliable.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for anyone who loves a world with magic in it and anyone who wants a laugh. Its magic has rules, and the story plays by them. Same wavelength as Shazam!.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- Moves at a clip.
- What might put you off
- It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

In the absence of the genuine article, stable boy Pandoy serves as the Panday, forging a magic sword out of a meteorite and fighting pirates and white slavers. The film features a subplot of Pandoy having to choose between two romantic interests.
