while surf through the imdb and i stumble upon the page for the secret of the sword . i hadn not see it in year and and and base on the glowing comment post on the page and i have to see it for myself . and and in all honesty and this movie be awful . the plot be paper thin and the characterization non existent and and the direction be muddle . the animation be truly horrible and even by tv standard ( and to think this be release theatrically . ) . sure the character look good and but they move badly . plus the same stock footage get use over and over and over . the voice characterization be terrible and and the evil be pretty cartoony . this movie be a sad reminder of just how far animation have fall in the 80 .
