In a divided land, it takes a rebellious boy and his clandestine love for a Princess of an opposing race to stop a war orchestrated by a power hungry villian. From Atlanta-based Fathom Studios comes an epic computer animated fantasty film starring the voices of Freddie Prinze Jr, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Anne Bancroft. Directed by Marc F. Adler and Jason Maurer, Delgo was released on 12 December 2008. The story tells of the land of Jhamora that is torn apart by the mutual prejudice of two races: the winged Nohrin, masters of the skies, and the terrestrial Lockni, who harness the mystical powers of the land.
When Delgo, a reckless Lockni teenager, forms a forbidden friendship with the spunky Nohrin Princess Kyla, hostilities between the two peoples escalate, setting the stage for an exiled Empress to exact her revenge and reclaim her rule.
Falsely imprisoned, Delgo and his faint-hearted best friend, Filo , must put aside their differences to join forces with a sworn enemy and travel to the mysterious land of Perran, where they discover more than just a scorned Empress and her two bumbling servants.
Delgo is dedicated to the memory of Anne Bancroft, the voice of villain Sedessa, who died in 2005 before production on the film was completed.
