Wizards: Tales of Arcadia is a wonderful conclusion to one of the greatest animated universes ever created, featuring a fresh take on Arthurian lore and stringing together three different series Go to Full Review

Wizards Tales of Arcadia is a fun series with some great moments, but feels more like an appendix to previous shows, which is a pity because had they given it more time it really could have been the best of series so far. Go to Full Review

Del Toro wants everyone, even the adults, to get something out of [Wizards: Tales of Arcadia]. This makes it an adventure worth taking, like any great fairy tale. Go to Full Review
Cynthia Vinney CBR 08/07/2020
As a result of everything the it's trying to cram in, it's not entirely surprising that Krel is the only character to show up from 3Below... Of course, even with those flaws, if you've watched the other Tales of Arcadia series, Wizards is not to be missed Go to Full Review

Fin D 03/03/2024 Adore this side of Tales of Arcadia! Main Character gives more edge and growth than Jim, Honestly sad to see it end See more Milan B 07/05/2023 Serija je predobra! Savršen za mlađu i malo stariju populaciju. Ocenio bih ga sa 4,5 od 5 See more russlav k 03/20/2022 Невероятное наслаждение! See more 11/10/2021 Well, what a ride. Wizards are running it fast - probably because of the sole season, it's a pity that they cut it so short apart from Trollhunters, because I was really enjoying this one. Sometimes it's so fast one's not even able to get it all. Wizards connects all the characters we've met in Arcadia yet, and one of the main plots is set in the past, a trope that always guarantees fun. It's another play on the arthurian legends, doing it on its own in an original way, plus the voice actors are guaranty of quality themselves. And a rocker wizard? Oh yes. Sure, there are some typical clichés, but excluding that I have nothing to say against. See more 10/26/2020 Love the wizzard and his cat, also merlin and the plot but its a pity it was not longer (2-3 Seasons). I would have loved to see more adventures of Douxie or his past 900 years, having it more as an own story rather than it being overshadowed by the troll hunters and the villians. It felt like Douxie was merely a support character for the troll hunters and a season was to short to develop the bonds between them. Also pity that the only other wizards were basically showin in a few minutes working in a store, also that the shadow creatures he hunted were only in Episode 1. It felt rushed tbh. See more 09/06/2020 Showrunner Marc Guggenheim demonstrates how up-to-the-task he is at telling 20 episodes' worth of story into 10 whilst the series also has really stunning animation for a streaming-service, fun action sequences, good voice acting and adding more to this universe's lore. Also, I'm glad the writers decided to heavily downplay 3Below's presence, focusing only on what's important to Trollhunters, what with that show being the weakest of the Tales of Arcadia trilogy. Though I couldn't handle Steve. He got on my nerves quickly, ruining more poignant scenes and having no major effect on the story other than to justify having Lancelot's character model just be a tall, bearded version of him. Who isn't his ancestor. Seriously, did the writers have any idea what to do with him? His relationship with Aja was one of 3Below's better aspects, giving some much-needed character development and here he becomes an outright dimwit who somehow never gets himself killed. Apart from how much I hated him, there's also one moment in the final episode, that, while having certain effects that prevent it from being a complete cop-out, I felt contradicted heavily with what Trollhunters kept saying. I'm keeping things as vague as possible but anybody who's seen Trollhunters can probably see what I'm getting at. All in all, Wizards did a really good job managing to pack in a 20-episode narrative into half that episode count and does a good job concluding certain arcs in the Tales of Arcadia trilogy whilst raising anticipation for the upcoming movie that will serve as the ACTUAL grand finale to the Netflix-DreamWorks/Guillermo del Toro saga.
