Warriors of Virtue

DIRECTED BY: Ronny Yu

REVIEWED: 05-22-97

This movie is about a boy named Ryan Jeffers, who slips and falls through a dimension portal into a weird world called Tao. He has this manuscript in his backpack (he got it from his friend Ming in the real world), and when he gets to Tao, the bad guys steal it. The bad guys are Komodo and his soldiers, who are stealing the power from Tao's last life spring; and the good guys are the Warriors of Virtue--Water, Earth, Metal, Wood and Fire--who are these giant kangaroos who do Kung Fu. Ryan helps the warriors save Tao by helping them put their powers together, using the book. Water is our favorite character. The best part is when the Roos combine their powers and destroy Komodo. (Ross) likes the martial arts action, when they do kicks and blocks and use swords. Tao means "The Way." This movie is cool because it teaches kids that they should believe in themselves, so when they fail, or break a leg, they don't think it's the end of the world. They know it works out.

--Ross and Glenn Shambach, ages 7 and 9 (when they saw the movie)
