Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Thor: Tales of Asgard is worth clearing space for. Thor: Tales of Asgard has the visual identity that makes it immediately recognisable, and the writing to back it up. Hungry for adventure, Thor secretly embarks on the journey of a lifetime, joined by his loyal brother Loki, whose budding sorcery equips him with just enough magic to conjure up trouble, along with the Warriors Three - a band of boastful travelers reluctant to set sail on any adventure that might actually be dangerous. But what starts out as a harmless treasure hunt quickly turns deadly, and Thor must now prove himself worthy of the destiny he covets by saving Asgard itself. The voice work from Matthew Wolf and Rick Gomez adds real texture, not just recognisable names. It was released in 2011. What makes Thor: Tales of Asgard more than a curiosity is writing that would hold up in any format. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Genuinely enjoyable for a wide range of viewers, Thor: Tales of Asgard treats animation as a delivery mechanism, not a limitation. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work. Matthew Wolf's voice work is a big part of what makes it distinctive. If you have been sleeping on it because of the format, the format is not the thing here.
