Set in a magical world that children still dream of, the film tells the story of a boy named Justin, who wants to become a knight like his grandfather Sir Roland, only to realize that ht in fact turns into a man along the way.
The action is clunky, the jokes fall flat time and again, and the script tries so hard to get off the ground that you can almost feel the wind hitting you in the kisser from its frantic wing-flaps.
Seeking to match the comic pizzazz of Shrek, Puss in Boots and Brave, Spanish-made animated adventure Justin and the Knights of Valour falls disappointingly short, despite the best efforts of a very game, mostly British voice cast.
