DVD Review: “AXEL: The Biggest Little Hero”

Disclosure: I was sent this DVD to review in exchange for my honest opinion.

Axel: The Biggest Little Hero

Released:  August 5, 2014

Studio:  Arc Entertainment

Running Time:  83 minutes

Axel s always been a hero in his own mind. Unfortunately, in real life he s just another mischievous little boy who pulls pranks while his village runs out of food. One day, he has a vision of a mystical grove of cactuses that could feed his people for years. Determined to save the day, Axel and his best friend Jono embark on the journey of a lifetime where they must fly through magnetic valleys, escape an evil robotic lizard king, and put up with a brave but headstrong young Princess. Will Axel find the magical plant and save his village? Can he become the real life hero he always wanted to be?

I am trying to think of a movie to compare this one too, but I can’t.  I’m not sure what the animation is exactly but its different, in a good way.  Its not like cartoon animation but its not claymation either, kinda a combination of both?  The movie is an underdog movie where we were rooting for AXEL.  Oh and about the characters they don’t have bodies, they remind me of those little wind-up toys you can play with.  They have arms, a head and a foot they hop on, strange but cute.  So anyways, the movie is about the underdog, AXEL, who decides he wants to do something significant and save his village.  He meets some interesting characters along the way and has some adventure with his friend who tags along.  I watched the movie with my kids ages 3, 6 and 7, and didn’t notice anything in-appropriate.  There was one part I remember that might be a little scary for some kids, but it didn’t bother mine.  I’d recommend this movie for anyone looking for a new kids movie and something out of the normal characters from today!
