Plot Summary

In the whimsical land of Delgo, a young "Delgo" named Filo finds himself caught in the middle of a brewing conflict between his people and the "Nix", winged beings from the sky. When his father is captured, Filo must embark on a perilous journey to rescue him, aided by the wise Elder and the spirited Princess Kyla. Their quest uncovers a conspiracy that threatens to plunge Delgo into an all-out war.

Critical Reception

Delgo was a significant critical and commercial failure, widely panned for its animation, story, and voice acting. It is often cited as one of the worst animated films ever made, earning a notoriously low score on Rotten Tomatoes.

What Reviewers Say

  • Praised by some for its unique visual style, but largely criticized for its incoherent plot.
  • The voice acting was frequently cited as wooden and uninspired.
  • The animation, while attempting to be distinct, was often seen as stiff and unappealing.

Google audience: Audience reviews indicate a general disappointment with the film's weak narrative and unengaging characters. While a few found the animation mildly interesting, the overwhelming sentiment is that Delgo failed to deliver a compelling or enjoyable cinematic experience.

Awards & Accolades

None notable, though it received significant negative attention and was nominated for several Golden Raspberry Awards.

Fun Fact

Delgo was one of the first animated films to be produced entirely using CGI, a technique that was still relatively new and expensive at the time.
