And everyone loses!
Wow! Look at that seamless merging of traditional and computer generated animation! I am going to rush out and buy this direct-to-DVD tour-de-force! Yes, and then I WILL HUG AND KISS SOME POISONOUS SNAKES!

Don't Make Me Get A Real Job
Wow. All the lamest of early 80s cheap animation, combined with the lamest of early 00s cheap CG.
Why there isn’t a production company chomping at the bit to produce a Final Fantasy style D&D movie is beyond me. It would pwn.
I just threw up a little bit. Ten years ago(!?) I did a test for Wizards of the Coast for a CD-Rom project they wanted to do. It was to be an encyclopedia type thingy with (somewhat) animated 3D versions of the major characters. I think I still have a really bad animation (no joke, it was horrible) of that wizard with the hourglass pupils.
At the time they said that eventually they wanted to do a full animated Dragonlance cartoon. I guess they finally did.
Our only hope is that Samuel Jackson plays the voice of the dragons.
I really cannot believe how terrible that is. Bad low-frame-rate 80s style animation? Check! Awful 3D animation? Check! Both styles utterly clashing with each other? CHECK!
all they need now is some rotoscope actors in orc… i mean dragon costumes to chase our heroes. only then will i truly be happy.
OMFG that looks horrible. Pick a decade for animation and stick with it!
Why can’t there ever be a good D&D movie?
Because I haven’t won the lottery yet!
