I'm not sure how I feel about this one - on one hand it seems like a great exploration of how and why Welsh Mythology remains present in the modern collective consciousness. On the other...I think this was for children, maybe they would accept it more at face value, but the magical elements came out of nowhere and didn't seem to work together properly and it ruined my suspension of disbelief.
