Masters Of The Impossible by Siegfried & Roy

Siegfried and Roy, often recognized as an eccentric duo, prefer the title of entertainers over magicians. This perspective raises the question: what inspired them to create an animated film featuring characters based on themselves?

In this whimsical fantasy, Siegfried and Roy emerge as heroic figures battling the malevolent Titans in their enchanted realm. The storyline weaves together elements from various Greek and Roman myths in a chaotic manner that can leave viewers bewildered. For example, they embark on adventures alongside an elfin character named Rumplestiltskin, confront the villainous Loki, and interact with King Midas, all while the narrative rushes through these tales at a dizzying pace.

This film is a must-watch for fans of campy cinema. The concept of Siegfried and Roy as fantasy warriors is amusing enough to elicit laughter. One of the highlights is Siegfried’s hilariously over-the-top battle cry, “the magic is back!” which he exclaims frequently, even in mundane situations like boarding a carriage or opening a door. The movie also features some cheesy special effects, compounded by generic character designs and animation. True to their brand, Siegfried and Roy are accompanied by a powerful, magical white tiger in this adventure.

“Siegfried and Roy: Masters of the Impossible” challenges viewers to navigate a frantic and disjointed plot centered around the personas of these unique entertainers. While it may not resonate with younger audiences, it can provide a good laugh, especially when enjoyed with friends. Just remember, the magic is back!
