Arthur answers a distress call from Princess Selenia, who is menaced by the nefarious Maltazard. Although all the elements for an exciting adventure are there, somehow it isn’t put together very well. There are too many details that have not been worked out well, specifically with a lot of the characters. The villain from the title doesn’t appear until the last quarter of the movie, and just when you think the story is finally going to unravel, it’s finished! Open endings can be interesting, but I wouldn’t call this an open ending.
