Runes

Beautiful 2D animation and style reminiscent of Cartoon Saloon (Secret of Kells, Wolfwalkers, Song of The Sea). Music is pretty solid too. The children's voice actors are pretty solid-which is great, because they are the main characters. The adult voice actors are a lot weaker, both in dialogue and performance, but the intrigue of the overarching narrative carries them through it. Sometimes the pacing is a little off-drags in places where brevity is needed, and rushed in places where the plot and scene need time to breathe.

Overall, though, I really enjoy watching it with my kids. The show holds their attention, appeals to their sense of magic and wonder, and presents likable young characters they can relate to. We will continue to watch this show. Excited to see where it goes. It's a very solid showing for Bentkey.
