2.0 out of 5 stars What have you done???, 28 Feb 2008

By	Tim Bentley (Shetland, UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

The Dragonlance novels are perhaps the best known series of books spawned by the Fantasy Role Playing Game Dungeons and Dragons. The extensive list of Dragonlance books starts (not chronologically) with the Dragons of Autumn Twilight, now made into an animated film reviewed here. I really enjoyed the books and waited with bated breath for the release of a film. Okay so it was animated and not live action (damn you Peter Jackson for setting my expectations so high! :-)) but the cover looked right and I recognised my favourites, Tanis, Tas, Caramon etc. Then I put the disc in my player....

First off, the DVD was region 1 and not region 2 as listed. Not an issue for me but those with region locked hardware won't have been able to 'enjoy' their purchase. Then there's the film itself - whatever were they thinking? The animation is so poor that the original D&D Cartoon series was better presented. One reviewer mentioned the 80s offering "He-man", if only they aspired to such high production values! The voice acting was lacklustre at best and the quality of the widescreen print was just desperate.

Why mix flat animation with partial CGI? Why engage the likes of Keifer Sutherland to do the voice acting for Raistlin and then allow such a weak performance? Why do such a poor job that the story is now unlikely to be continued in film? All in all a dreadful effort and I suggest you don't bother with this film, especially if you're a fan of the Dragonlance books. I've given it two stars for the script which was faithful to the novel, otherwise I'd have been looking for a zero stars option.

2.0 out of 5 stars who honestly thought mixing 3d and 2d animation like this was a good idea?, 4 Feb 2008

By	genejoke "Mmmm Shiny" (uk) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

The 3d animation is poor and the 2d isn't great but would be acceptable without the 3d abominations. That aside, is it any good? well, sort of. as adaptations go the script is close to the books. Too close in some places and not close enough in others. The mystery of characters like Fizban is destroyed, I guess this was done to make sure the film stands alone.
The voice acting is varied, however casting keifer sutherland as Raistlin was genius. its a shame because watching this makes me sad for how good a dragonlance movie could be in the right hands.

1.0 out of 5 stars I want to cry :'(, 13 Jan 2008

By	Les Steel - See all my reviews

My word, I watched this travesty last night and I want to cry. Not tears of joy as I hoped but tears of sadness.

The animation is shoddy, low quality (think 80's He-Man) traditional 2D animation is mixed with low quality 3D animation, the result is a dogs breakfast. The score also doesn't seem in keeping with what is happening on screen.

Really needs someone to do to Draganlance as Peter Jackson did to Lord of The Rings.

This is only worth buying for fans of Dragonlance, but only just.
