Disney’s Percy Jackson and the Olympians takes bold risks in reimagining the iconic series for a new audience as the heart of the show lies in its young heroes.

The Boy and The Heron deftly moves between commercialization, militarism, trauma and grief, family dynamics, geopolitics, the universe, and individuality.

The film doesn’t break molds like Spider-Verse and it doesn’t bring a revitalizing freshness like Mutant Mayhem, but there are some feels created and the story of Asha is original enough to warrant a viewing.
