TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

sol- Concerned about the prospects of logic and magic existing side-by-side in harmony, a Medieval wizard summons the help of a twentieth century board gamer inventor who believes in dragons in this popular animated feature film. The movie is adapted from two separate books about dragons: one that speculates the existence of dragons and their biology, and the other a more straightforward fantasy adventure yarn. Memorable as many of the action sequences are, the film is at its best when channeling the more speculative book. The pseudoscience behind dragons, how they breath fire and how they fly is endlessly fascinating. The film also crosses some curious science fiction territory as the game board inventor also gets to experience how a dragon mind works after the wizard accidentally melds him with a dragon. The vast majority of the film though channels the adventure tale, which is significantly less interesting, especially as the characters keep droning on about science versus magic. That said, the film offers some thought-provoking notions in terms of the role of magic in human evolution, such as the idea that television screens were inspired by the crystal balls of fortune tellers and that planes resulted from fairies inspiring humankind to consider flight. The film benefits from some decent vocal work too. Only Harry Morgan disappoints due to the distinctive nature of his voice; he always sounds like Col. Potter from 'M*A*S*H'. James Earl Jones is especially good as the chief villain and John Ritter is perfect as the easily excited protagonist.

nikola gajic A few days ago I watched Frozen and I thought: 'what a crap is this? headache...',but when I saw this one, all I can say it is just beautiful, a story is great, so interesting and intelligent,and music is enchanting like the magic. Remembered this when was a kid, and then I very like it, but didn't catch all the elements and deep profound that wears. How sadly that animated movies todays don't have that human touch; it seem to me that only concern of new movies is to make a pile of money, everything else is less important, but they'll never last long. That is why old cartoons like this one have some special meaning to some people, 'cause they are timeless.

derek_wheeler-1 I think the reason it might not have been re released yet is because the movie while using the science from Peter Dickenson's book takes most of the characters from George and yet George does not get any credit on the film.My theory is that due to him neither getting money nor credit for this work George does not want it re released until he has been fairly compensated for what is obviously his work. I have read both books and in Flight of the Dragons I at no point notice the mention of a talking wolf nor a wizard named Carolinus. Both of these characters appear in George's book and in fact the man in the book turns into a large dragon named Gorbash. I think it would be nice if he got the credit for character invention then maybe we could see a re release.

Richard Arkinstall I remember watching this many times as a child on VHS. I thought it was such a great story but the soundtrack always kinda stuck with me. Whenever I mentioned it to friends of the same age they would always look at me with the same confused look. I have recently thought about purchasing it on DVD format but couldn't find it anywhere. I have just watched it streaming via the internet and I was again happy to sit through the entire film, which is not something an adult can do with cartoons very often. Now I have proof that the film existed I'm gonna show it people and see if they remember it. I hold this film up there with the likes of the Turtles, Thundercats as the cartoons of my youth. It must be nearly 10 years since id seen this but like anyone of my era would say..."they don't make em like they used to!"
