Reviews
Excellent but underrated film
A Brilliant Conflict
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
I loved this as a little girl today I watched it with my little girls. They really enjoyed it and I loved it just as much as I did back them
A movie from my childhood that stands the test of time surprisingly well. Too often nostalgia casts things in a certain light that went revisited doesn't hold up, but this film is an exception. The story (about magic striving to survive in a world where science is increasingly able to do without it) is one that most people would be familiar with. Staying relevant is similar to survival in many cases. And James Earl Jones's voice is a true gift to the film as he adds a sense of menace that feels very real. John Ritter similarly is fantastic. He attacks the role with an admirable level of both self-importance and wonder. The animation is a bit primitive by today's standards, but I still find that I adore the character designs and colors. Finally finding a copy of this to own was one of my better days!
I've seen a few people comment and ask why they haven't released this title on DVD. I want to let you know that they have, it's just hard to find. Here's an easy link to the cheapest place I've found it: http://www.dvdlook.com and look for this movie title. They have it for $16.95 plus shipping and handling. They also have other timeless classics like "The Wuzzles" (who could forget lovable Bumble-lion? haha) and the Hugga Bunch. This movie is a timeless classic and should be a must-see mandatory viewing for everyone who hasn't already seen it. Personally, I don't own it on DVD...yet! I plan on buying it for my seven year old son as a Christmas present. I'm sure he will love it just like I did when I was his age! This is an awesome move with great animation! Why can't they animate movies like this anymore? Example: Check out the original My Little Pony movies and shows then watch the newer ones. The animation is crap if you ask me. I'm sure kids today like it because that's all they've seen. But you let them watch one 80's movie with the 80's style animation and they'll never want anything else. HAHA
My late fiancée introduced me to this movie shortly after we met, and until then I had never heard of it.It took me until halfway through the movie to adjust to the animation style, compared to the other animated movies I had seen, which had mostly been Disney animated, however it is on my list of regularly watched movies now.The story is heartwarming, a true fantasy tale of someone who has to choose between his two loves in life, with epic battles and dragons, trolls, and evil wizards trying to destroy the world.Nothing makes a better movie, I only wish film makers nowadays could get it right. The art of the classic fantasy movie seems to be more and more lost, but there are a few who are redeeming it.
