But, we finally have a teaser trailer! At 30 seconds long, this teaser gives us a voice-over of Blinky, a troll and mentor to Jim Lake Jr voiced by Kelsey Grammer.
We hear Blinky say “something is coming” and the next thing we see is a ginormous unidentified creature rising from the ocean. We then see multiple shots of different characters before being shown a group shot of every protagonist across the three series’, ready to fight together. It is after this that Netflix finally shows us the release date; July 21st.
Looks like we won’t want to miss this animated event of a movie… will this bring the Tales of Arcadia to its closing chapter? We will just have to wait and see!
