Jul 14 2000 N/A 1h 25m
Adventure, Animation

The year is 1000 A.D. and young Leif Ericson has just fled to Greenland to escape the vicious plundering of his native Iceland. When Eric falls for a beautiful slave girl and his disapproving father casts a dark shadow over the relationship, the heartbroken young adventurer sets out on the uncharted seas to tempt fate and find his destiny in the New World. Subsequently forced to return to Greenland after learning that his father is in grave danger, Leif sets sail once again to help his father, and reclaim his one true love.

Plot

This is easily the worst animation ever produced. Leif Erickson is a little boy in this film - OK, I could possibly accept that. But the story is so silly, so illogical, so painfully cheap that it is not even funny. On top of that, the drawings are unbelievably amateurish: when the Vikings are on their boat, it looks like they are standing next to it in the water. Really! When the villagers are rejoicing, they are jumping up and down. This is achieved by simply moving the drawings up and down, without anyone moving a muscle. Looks like they are on drugs.Bah. What a load of youknowwhatImean. Wonder how this ever ended up in our local video store?
