Cabin Boy and his secret weapon, a bottled Leprechaun to storm Pendragon's fortress and save her before she surcomes to the
forces of evil.
ZEDD'S OPINION:
This is a charming tale of good vs. evil. The good guys are good and the bad guys are very, very bad. The stop motion effects
are not up to Ray Harryhausen. But I have seen worse.
I GIVE IT...7 STARS
VOLTRON'S OPINION:
I agree with the story, but I was allot more disappoint with the stop motion effects. I think the whole thing had a Gumby
feeling and not very realastic.
I GIVE IT...6 1/2 STARS
