The Academy of Magic

Estimated budget 12000000, I guess they blew it on coke and hookers, if so, well played, however, if this is an actual attempt at entertaining children, it seems misguided at best. The animation quality is terrible. The same pictures/sequences are used again and again. The voice acting is amateurish. A previous reviewer said something like "dont watch this unless your high or drunk" however I have to vehemently disagree (there are far better things to do while high or drunk ;) and say dont watch this until and unless some sick twisted serial killer is holding your wife and kids and forcing you to watch it to save them, and even then I would ask you to think twice.

Animation is poor, script inelegant and the ending is awful.

My 4 year old enjoyed it in 3 parts but hasn't mentioned it since.

As excited as I was for something about magic, this made me consider suicide. Animation was poor, story was terrible, and characters plain and shallow. For 12 Million Budget you would expect something with depth and an actual try to make it good, while this was just an poor attempt at Something? that wasn't even okay. Do not give this a watch unless you are high or drunk.

From a magic mark on the skin, to ginger twins, blond bully who picks on our heroine for being common,to an intimidating dark haired teacher, this is an unbelievably bad rip off of Harry Potter but with the animation of Paw Patrol. AVOID!!

Baby Aura is brought to an apple farm by a robot. She is raised by the kind old lady owner. She's 16 when she discovers her magical powers. The robot reawakens to reveal that she is set to attend the Academy of Magic.

This may be a Chinese production. I had thought that the Chinese is beyond this type of inferior animation. This may be a smaller company. This is really only good for the kids. The writing is by the book. I mean that the writing is by the Harry Potter books. It's like a weekend cover band trying to do a hit song. I'm into it for thirty minutes or so. I don't know who's giving this 9s and 10s other than company bots.
