Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Elena and the Secret of Avalor earns its spot. The world-building is meticulous, but it is the characters who carry Elena and the Secret of Avalor through its more ambitious moments. In the Kingdom of Avalor, Elena takes Naomi up a mountain to show her favorite view of the kingdom. Elena laments to Naomi how she was trapped in the Amulet of Avalor for forty-one years, and then presents to her a broken wand. She tells her that it was Shuriki's wand and how she would still be trapped in the Amulet if it was not for a brave young Princess: Sofia. Aimee Carrero and Ariel Winter lead a cast that never lets the concept overwhelm the characters. Elena and the Secret of Avalor came out in 2016. What separates Elena and the Secret of Avalor from lesser genre entertainment is a willingness to let the concept cost the characters something. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

For late-night viewing or a proper weekend binge, Elena and the Secret of Avalor fits the bill. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work. Aimee Carrero anchors it with a performance that makes the more abstract moments feel personal. If you have been burned by ambitious sci-fi before, this is the exception.
