![]() ![]() Liya's responsibility as the protector of the gem is a beautiful metaphor for how adult responsibilities can get in the way of our relationships and overshadow things we enjoyed when we were younger. ![]() I like that this movie allows a chance to zero on in the relationship between Liya and Lambert without all of the convoluted characters and backstories from the prequel. This places a rift in their relationship that forces Lambert to regain Liya's trust as he offers to help her rescue her sister-in-law, and she finds her loyalties being tested. When Mayre's evil sister, Meyla, crashes the wedding in search of the Gem of Life's power, Liya must turn down Lambert's proposal in order to protect it. The conflict ensues when she is given explicit instructions not to tell anyone that she has the Gem of Life, including Lambert. Shortly before her brother's wedding, Liya is entrusted by Queen Mayre with protecting a magical gem that sustains life among the elves, a common trope in video game RPGs, especially the Final Fantasy series. Lambert uses a sword, and Liya has a bow and magical arrows. Every character is trained in some sort of weapon or magical art. The video game inspiration behind Throne of Elves is clear from the setting and the plot. Lamber takes fall advantage of the hoverboard and uses it to soar through the animated fantasy world of Alterra, treating us to a series of gorgeous landscapes that resemble the backgrounds in the Barbie: Fairytopia movies. The weaponsmith who trained him to make such trinkets lets him borrow a hoverboard he invented that is reminiscent of the one Jim Hawkins uses in Treasure Planet. ![]() Lambert is ecstatic at the chance to see Liya again and makes her a beautiful finger guard for her bow that doubles as an engagement ring. He looks several years older and more muscular in this sequel in a way that emulates Hiccup's growth from the How to Train Your Dragon films. Lambert is nicknamed Little Fish by everyone who is close with him and is called that for the entirety of this movie, so I only knew about his real name from the prequel. ![]() She requests to invite her human friend, Lambert, to the wedding, who had saved her life in the previous movie. At the beginning of the movie, Princess Liya is excited to attend her brother's wedding to the beautiful elven Queen Mayre. ![]()
