This was truly a bizarre film of fantasy. I loved the animation in this movie and the music is truly unique. The music was by Andrew Belling and he had a truly innovative style for the year of 1977.
He helped shape the fantasy genre for films that came after this. The plot of this movie helps us to see it was also a science fiction post apocalyptic film as well. In the movie two wizards are fighting, one of magic and the other of industrial machines. Earth was devasted by war and machines by Nuclear War. Those humans who remained wandered the wastelands battling mutants and the like.
There are true elves, dwarves and fairies who live in peace, but the queen of the fairies gives birth to two wizards, these grow up two different ways. Avatar and Blackwolf become two different people. Avatar befriends a woman named Elinore and they become close. Avatar journeys with her and they find Blackwolf who is evil. Avatar kills Blackwolf after tricking him that his mother had one last trick to show him when Blackwolf wasn't around. Blackwolf is shot and killed. The king of the fairies wants Avatar and Elinore to stay, but they decide to make their own kingdom where they are. It is a very cool film and here are some highlights from the score.
You won't find it on Amazon or ITunes, its a really hard score to locate, but enjoy it from YouTube.
Anyway this is just some highlights. Hope you enjoy it.
Next Week Damnation Alley. See ya then!
