IR VERDICT:
THE MAGNUM OPUS is a very imaginative work of fiction with a world populated by a mix of odd creatures and absurd monsters that call to mind The Wizard of Oz. Ario and his fellow Makers are undeniably adorable creatures, and in their own way, perfect heroes for a fantasy epic the same way that Hobbits are perfect for Lord of the Rings. The climactic ending is suitably riveting, suspenseful and inspiring.
