- Description
- In 'Disco Elves: Battle of the Beat,' a fantastical world of elven disco-divas and smooth-grooving wizards collide with cold steel and shrewd deals. Jam Stir-ling stars as an elven assassin, Mercury Blynd, with moves as sharp as his arrows, while Albacore Guinness slips into the sly boots of Slyzzard Slypp, a con artist with a knack for theft and threads. Teaming up with Denzel Whisker's larger-than-life bounty hunter, Hammerfunk Slamson, they boogie through the battlefield, spinning turntables to dodge spells and disco balls to deflect arrows. Directed by the visionary Luc Beesong, this comedy is set against the glittering backdrop of the disco era. Can Mercury Blynd’s funky crew broker peace between warring factions through dance-offs and dazzling diplomacy? Or will their quests for gold records and glittery treasure lead them to a fate worse than bad fashion? Tune in and boogie down as they disco their way through danger and diplomacy, proving that in times of war, a little bit of funk goes a long way.

'Disco Elves: Battle of the Beat' grooves into theaters with a glitter ball spinning fervently overhead – if by fervently, we mean teetering on the edge of kitsch mayhem. Director Luc Beesong proves that when it comes to disco and elves, he's less Saturday Night Fever and more Friday Night WTF?! Jam Stir-ling's Mercury Blynd struts his stuff with arrow-slinging swagger, slicing through enemies with beats so hot, they might excuse the script's frosty reception. Albacore Guinness shines as the slithering Slyzzard Slypp, transforming the con stereotype into a polyester-clad icon. And let's twirl a moment for Denzel Whisker's Hammerfunk Slamson, the disco giant whose platform shoes are only outdone by his titanic charisma. The villainy faced by our heroes might not tax the brain, but at least it monstrously attacks our sense of rhythm. Beesong's world is a flashy disco globe reflecting myriad influences, though some much less glamorous than others, ultimately bringing to life an explosion of '70s zest mixed with fantasy's arcane charm. It's a PG-13 boogie wonderland that casts a sparkling shadow of silliness over the 'serious business' of epic battles. Yea or nay, 'Disco Elves' has the sacrilegious audacity to mirror ball-walk into cult classic ground, making it irresistibly foot-tapping at the very least.
