SlugTerra: Return of the Elementals

SlugTerra: Return of the Elementals is currently streaming in Australia on Hoopla, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video and RetroCrush Amazon Channel, and it uses the format for more than just a visual hook. The length is exactly right for the story it is telling — nothing rushed, nothing dragged out. 357 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. A harder one to justify skipping than to start. Start it on Hoopla whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, SlugTerra: Return of the Elementals earns its spot. Visually distinctive and narratively ambitious, SlugTerra: Return of the Elementals operates well above the genre average. A new member has joined Eli and the Shane Gang! Junjie, once the protector of the Eastern Caverns, is a master of the slugslinging art of Slug Fu! But even with the power of five slingers, the Shane Gang find themselves in over their heads as they race across The 99 Caverns in search of the Legendary Elemental Slugs. The voice work from Shannon Chan-Kent and Andrew Francis adds real texture, not just recognisable names. It was released in 2014. SlugTerra: Return of the Elementals uses the freedom of animation to tell stories live-action could not attempt. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Animation fans will appreciate the craft, but SlugTerra: Return of the Elementals works for viewers who do not typically seek out animation too. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work. Visually distinctive and narratively ambitious in ways that hold up regardless of format. Worth watching in order from the beginning.
