Oh, 'Ye Olde Space Chronicles', you quirky little cinematic conundrum, wrapped in a paradox and sprinkled with a dash of absurdity. Let's all stand and slow clap for Mel Brooktrout, who evidently decided that the final frontier wasn't just space but the very limits of genre-blending itself. With a tagline that promises an escape 'through the stars... or the stables,' one can't help but saddle up for an adventure that's less Star Trek and more Monty Python with a side of cosmic dust. Fennel-ces Farmer, the Centaur-chef, played with an earnestness that could only be conjured up in a fever dream, truly believes a whisk is mightier than the sword. Pony Curtis, as the Mermaid-waitress, flounders about with a charm that's half enchanting, half 'someone please throw her back into the sea'. And let's not forget Joel McReef, whose Dragon-bartender breathes fire like he's gunning for a role in 'Game of Thrones: The Sitcom'. The film is rated G, but let's be honest, it's the kind of G that stands for 'Gee, what were they thinking?' Nevertheless, in its own eccentric way, it delivers laughs and a surprisingly whimsical take on freedom. So, hitch a ride on this interstellar wagon if you dare—just don't be surprised if you find yourself asking for a transfer to a less bizarre cosmos.
