I was originally drawn to the TALES OF ARCADIA because of their creator Guillermo del Toro's storytelling (which won him an Oscar for THE SHAPE OF WATER). When following his filmography I was amazed by how many productions that I had enjoyed had actually flowed from his pen (more likely from his keyboard), so I began to work my way through those things of his of which I had not seen, which lead me to this series. The series has three anchor points, each having their own trilogy of of seasons. The first TROLL HUNTERS (Trolls), this second 3BELOW (Aliens) and his third Is currently in production and unnamed (wizards) and all their epicentres overlap in time and characters, giving the whole series a cohesive platform. The stories are action adventure, the voice casts are stellar (Anton Yelchin, Lexi Medrano, Kelsey Grammer, Tatiana Maslany, Diego Luna, Glenn Close and many other recognizable talents), and the storytelling is imaginative, humorous, fun, full of challenges that are relevant to the world of children and accessible to the child in all of us. I am a huge fan of these TALES, the characters are so well drawn and performed. I highly recommend this series. I rate both this current season (3Below S2), and the whole series, an 8 (great) out of 10.
