Delgo: In Theaters December 12

Have you heard of this movie?  I had not until I got a message from Team Mom. Trusting the instincts of this wonderful organization, I went straight over to the Delgo website to watch the preview and get more information. I have to admit that this first movie from Fathom Studios has my attention. In fact, I’ve already gone to see which theater in my area will in fact be showing Delgo.

Not heard of this movie either? Let me start by giving you just a few of the voices you’ll hear if you watch this movie:

  • Freddie Prinze Jr
  • Val Kilmer
  • Michael Clarke Duncan
  • Jennifer Love Hewitt
  • Anne Bancroft (in her last performance)
  • Chris Kattan
  • Lou Gossett Jr. 
  • Kelly Ripa 
  • Burt Reynolds 
  • Sally Kellerman 
While you may not recognize all of these movies, I think all movie fans will find at least a few of their favorite actors in this all star cast lineup. 
So what is Delgo about?  According to the press release,

The story takes place in the magical land of Jhamora which is divided between two cultures – the Nohrin, winged masters of the skies, and the Lockni, the terrestrial tribe who harness the mystical powers of the land.  When Delgo (Freddie Prinze, Jr.), a reckless Lockni teenager, forms a forbidden friendship with the spunky Nohrin Princess Kyla (Jennifer Love Hewitt), hostilities between the two peoples escalate, setting the stage for an exiled empress (Anne Bancroft) to exact her revenge and reclaim her rule. 

Falsely imprisoned, Delgo and his best friend, Filo (Chris Kattan), must put aside their differences to join forces with a sworn enemy, Bogardus (Val Kilmer), and travel to the mysterious land of Perran to rescue Princess Kyla.  Here they encounter fanciful creatures and discover more than just a kidnapped princess, they learn the value of different cultures and the importance of working together.

 And of course every parent needs to know the fine print: Delgo is rated PG and has a running time of 90 minutes.
