Running Time : 74 mins

A young Thor (Wolf) has been told by his father Odin (Britton) that he is not to leave Asgard due to the dangers of the surrounding worlds. So, along with his half-brother Loki (Gomez), he stows aboard the vessel of the Warriors Three, Fandral (Abell), Hogun (Dobson) and Volstagg (Chapman), in order to journey in search of the fabled Sword of Surtur, but accidentally starts a war with the frost giants.

Again the team behind the direct-to-video Marvel animated movies has decided that their audience want to see kids as the heroes of their films, something that is even reflected in the animation style. Like Next Avengers, this is clearly aimed at a far younger audience and, because of this, alienates the older viewers from the outset. But if you give it a chance it is actually far better than Next Avengers and some very interesting character development for both Thor and Loki, plus a neat plot twist towards the end.
