Less a case of "one for all" than "one for emergencies only".

All in all, there's something delightfully retro about the whole package, particularly as it sticks doggedly, in every sense, to the raw fundamentals of Dumas' story.

Based on a popular 1980s cartoon -- viewers of a certain age will recognize the catchy theme song -- this a serviceable animated adventure that passes the time without leaving a lasting impression.

Traditionally, rushed animated projects like this will lean on the caveat that younger audiences are less demanding... but the genre has moved on.
