Timo is a young orphan who is saved from the tragedy of the Pompeii volcano, and adopted by General Chirone, founder of the famous Academy of Gladiators. The young boy grows up surrounded by all kinds of gladiators, but shows no interest in becoming one of them.
Everything changes when he meets Lucilla, who is promised to Cassio, considered by many to be the best gladiator in Rome and the Emperor's famous nephew.
Cute, I liked it, a cute animation, with a very dramatic, sad beginning, historically located in Pompeii and Rome, let's wrap it up with a lot of action and some romanticism... The script attracted me less, the charismatic and simple characters (actually only the protagonist and the little children) however conquered the average film... Regular...

Gladiators
Simple but good movie with funny characters and characterized properly in their simplicity.
While not shining for the complexity of the plot, it is a dignified and functional work.
Really Good; for Adults Too
Really well done. I didn't realize it was animation when I set the DVR. It is fine for kids, but is interesting enough for adults to enjoy, too. I saw the English version when it was on one of the free cable channels.
I can understand why kids today aren't interested in the cartoons from years ago, the technology has advanced so much.
We follow a young boy from Pompeii to Rome, where he is weak and timid and not really interested in much. His stepfather tries to make him strong and bold, and find and develop his talents. And therein lies the plot.
I would say for around 6 years old and up, and definitely all the way up through adulthood.
