The animation feels like Pixar on a budget and the story isn’t gripping enough to distract from its sub-par quality. The one-note problem is so big that even the trackers seem to be only good at breaking out into violence, leaving only the protagonists and a couple of others to be the only voice of reason or nuance. From the fairies to the ogres to the insects, all magical species are one-note in their proclivity for insentient savagery and violence. The world-building falls flat when all the different species and sub-cultures ring essentially the same. The themes of the “wealthy hoarding resources for themselves” are surprisingly progressive and the conflict that Spellbound feels in siding with one elite or another is also great to see in an animation show mainly catered to kids. There’s a clear effort at a world-building that introduces a bunch of different magical species and cultures in the fantastical world of magic. One performance of note, though, comes from the voice actor for Hoagie the enchanted pig, with some of the more animated cadence and line deliveries in the show. The voice cast of Daniel Spellbound does the job, and that’s about as great a remark that it warrants, as there are only a few instances of any unique performance here.
