The dinky Nintendo DS puzzler gets a disappointing anime workover in this disjointed tie-in.
Not that it’s the Prof’s fault – he has all the warmth and incisiveness that make the games a joy, together with a fuzzy-calm Alec Guinness voice.
Less endearing are his young apprentice, Luke, and the visual clash of trad animation and bulkier CG.
The plot’s a clunker, too – a limp mystery surrounding a potion that grants eternal life, with puzzles muscled in unconvincingly.
The Blu-ray/DVD Combi Pack offers three bonus adventures.
