Learning racial acceptance and other moral lessons has never been so entertaining, especially when there is a Romeo and Juliet twist. Delgo is a skillfully animated story full of exciting action and lasting ethical lessons. Freddie Prinze Jr., Jennifer Love Hewitt, Burt Reynolds and Kelly Ripa, lend their voices to this tale of two warring species, which need to learn how to overcome their racial bias. The Lockni are a people who control the magic of the earth, and the winged Nohrin rule the sky. The two races live segregated, under a strained peace agreement until a series of crimes lead to an imminent war. While the subject of interspecies war may sound dark, Chris Kattan adds comic relief to the story as he plays a Lockni named Filo, who is Delgo's best friend. After Delgo and Filo are framed for a crime and thrown into a Nohrin prison, Delgo enlists a former enemy to help them escape and uncover an evil plot to take over the Nohrin and Lockni land. Delgo learns the benefits of teamwork, patience, and mercy during his journey to unite the two battling species against a greater enemy. This task seems impossible until Delgo discovers the only thing that could bring the Nohrin and Lockni together is his love for the Nohrin princess Kyla. Together Kyla and Delgo prove that love will always win over hate fueled by grudges. Whether you love gravity defying sword fights or love stories, there is something for everyone in this exciting family film.
