Delgo Awards
Delgo received the "Best Feature Film" award at 2008's Anima Mundi.

Even before its release, Freestyle Releasing has submitted Delgo as its entry for Best Animated Feature at the Academy Awards.

Delgo received the title of "Worst Wide Release Opening Ever" by only earning $511,920 on 2,160 screens. That is equal to about an average of only four viewers per showing site.

Delgo Reception
As of December 17, 2008, Delgo has received mainly negative reviews from critics. Rotten Tomatoes reported that 16% of critics gave positive reviews based on 32 reviews. On Metacritic, the film has a 27/100 approval rating based on 10 reviews.

Most critics panned the film for its similarity to other fantasy films and having poor animation. It was also panned, particularly by Intelligencer Journal, for how long it took to get to theaters, resulting in many fantasy cliches. Adam Markovitz of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a D-, opining that the movie does not sufficiently set up its story or setting, asking, "Why does the teen hero (Freddie Prinze Jr.) have Jedi-like powers? And why is evil Sedessa (Anne Bancroft) bent on world conquest?" Susan Walker of the Toronto Star gave the film two stars out of four and claimed the film was a "cheap thriller where the wisecracks always fall flat and the author couldn't be bothered to invent a new plot, so he just patches together some old ones." Tom Keogh gave the film a fair review awarding it with 2 1/2 stars. Keogh praised Anne Bancroft's "excellent voice work" and noted the film was a "busy but decent animated fable that feels like a "Star Wars" or "Lord of the Rings" spinoff."

On its opening weekend, the film opened poorly at #18 with $511,920 breaking the record for the lowest opening weekend in wide release. [23] [24] During its six-day release on December 18, the film has grossed $694,782.

Attention Film-makers: 3D computer animation is not a guarantee for success. Pixar makes tons of money because their movies are good, not because they're computer animated.
