falco12351 this why I hate most of Germany's films, they rarely make a good movie and this is no exception. the dubbing was rushed, the history is completely inaccurate, the characters are mediocre and under developed, the animation is lazy I mean I've seen better animation in a Saturday Morning Cartoon, every actor is miscast and there is some very disturbing visuals for a children's movie like hanging and pulling a spyglass out of a mans privates. Good grief Uwe Boll was bad enough without more German filmmakers bleeding the industry, in fact the only good movie that Germany ever made was Metropolis in 1929. so do yourself a favor and read a book instead and avoid this movie.

halodude622 Gee. remember the woodworm that told Columbus was round, remember the firefly princess and the Aztec temple and swarm lord in America, whats that, you don't, well neither do i. besides that, the dubbing in this movie is awful, the animation is awful, and a odd dream sequence. another thing is the movie never shuts up, it always has loud sounds and its annoying. there's also a scene where Columbus is HANGED! Final Verdict, 1/10. maybe if Germany read our text books they would get our history right, but has a kids film it hold up, because they don't know whats going on. i like nearly any movie i see, even battlefield earth, a awful movie. so this movie is stupid.

LAsh100000 Recently for my birthday, I bought the DVD for "The Magic Voyage", which I recalled being one of my favorite movies during my childhood. Whenever we had lessons on Columbus in elementary school, my classmates & I would often watch this. Being the easily-impressed girl that I was, I loved every minute of "The Magic Voyage", & even now, at the age of 19, I am not ashamed to say that I still greatly enjoy watching it.Of course, I know that the Columbus story as portrayed in the film is quite different from what we've been taught in history class, but of course, the "artistic licenses" are what keep this movie--any movie, for that matter--fun & entertaining, not to mention interesting. It makes me wonder sometimes why people complain so, so much about the "technical inaccuracies" in "Pocahontas", "Anastasia", "The Prince Of Egypt", & other animated movies based (at least somewhat) on true stories...these are the *movie* versions, you guys. Just watch & enjoy! Additionally, in my humble opinion, while the animation in "The Magic Voyage" is not the best that the world has to offer (putting it nicely), this flaw is redeemed by the entertaining screenplay, the nicely-written songs, the well-done casting, & the enjoyable characters (Christopher, Pico, & Marilyn are my particular favorite members of the cast).Overall, not a bad movie in the slightest. Good to watch on a rainy day or with your kids.

etg1701 This is without a doubt one of the stupidest films ever created. Everything from the characters to the plot to the atrocious songs is just ridiculous to a degree that is simply unfathomable. It's actually rather hard to explain because the flaws are just too numerous. Suffice to say, you will need a vomit bucket for this.It is certainly the worst movie I've seen all the way through and I'm shocked that it didn't get a perfect 1.0 out of 10.0 for the average score. If it were up to me, I'd give this stinker a -10 or better yet, go back in time and prevent it from ever being made. Oh well, there is anime for those in search of quality animation.
