Product Description
A dungeons and dragons adventure tale. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 01/15/2008 Starring: Lucy Lawless Run time: 100 minutes Rating: Pg13

Amazon.com
Based on the first in a series of countless fantasy books by bestselling authors Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman Dragonlance: Dragons of Autumn Twilight is the first animated feature-length film spun from the venerable Dungeons and Dragons role-playing game. The 90-minute feature hews as closely to the 400-plus-page source material as possible--in a nutshell, a group of adventurers seek to head off the evil plans of a multi-headed dragon goddess and her army with the help of a crystal staff--and there is plentiful swordplay and spellcasting to keep younger viewers entranced. And the voice talent, which includes Kiefer Sutherland, Xena's Lucy Lawless, and Michael Rosenbaum of Smallville, does a respectable job of making the heavy-handed dialogue sound believable. However, the animation (a mix of 2D and CGI) is truly dreadful, and brings the epic scope of the story down to the level of Saturday morning cartoons. Supplemental material might've helped make this middling DVD more palatable, but sadly, there's only a few clips of original test animation (which looks slightly better than the finished product) and a gallery of early character designs. --Paul Gaita

Great or Not January 7, 2009
Ok so someone read these books and has loved them for 20 years, fine. Were you also a D&D fan? Did you watch that great cartoon? If you really didn't like this movie, chances are you didn't. I myself loved the old style animation, sure some CG was in there but who cares. A great tale of course not all getting into a movie but man kudos to you guys, I am buying 4 copies cause this one is worthy of buying and giving. I hope and can't wait for the next ones. *bows respectfully* to all involved with the film. And no I am not a basement troll, my books collect dust, and I get dirty as a cnc machinist.

Please Sir, can I have some more... December 26, 2008
I LOVE the books. I've read them all, most several times. I was super excited to learn there was a movie and I really enjoyed it even with the oddly matched graphics. I was impressed that they maintained the emotions and kept the movie from feeling like a little kid cartoon.

I was really disappointed at the end, though, because the movie really leaves you wanting the rest of the story and there IS no next movie.

I got to watch this with my kids who are just starting to read the books for themselves. It was fun to see them get interested in the storyline.

When they get around to finishing the series, I will be first in line to buy it!

It would be really awesome to see the books turned into a "Lord of the Rings" quality film. This is a story worthy of an epic film!

funniest movie evar! December 16, 2008
Dear lord, this movie was bad. Laughably bad. I so wanted it to be good, even in the same neighborhood as decent, to come even close to my love for the books. I actually laughed out loud at the poor quality.

The CG looks like a rough draft of the final product...if the final product was produced 20 years ago. It would be analogous to an artist's storyboard with stick figures instead of live actors. I mean, at least have a character's legs move like they are walking instead of gliding across the screen because you don't want to make the effort because you can't miss CSI:Miami. The traditional animation is poor, stilted and awkward. They should re-do this one with a budget larger than $32. I'm sure when the voice talent saw the final product they wanted to destroy all evidence of their participation.

That being said, I'm buying this for my friend for X-mas. He read the books too and he should get a good laugh.

Almost afraid to buy... December 14, 2008
Why don't Dragonlance fans deserve an epic worthy of "Lord of the Rings" status?? <>

Dragonlance - Dragons Of The Autumn Twilight December 12, 2008
I find myself watching this movie once every couple of weeks, due to my fondness of the Dragonlance book series and enjoy it for what it is. Although not perfect by any means the story is fairly close to the book with a few inconsistencies but nothing completely unacceptable. I did find the voice acting to be well chosen, the soundtrack good. I do hope they are able to finish animating the rest of the trilogy, perhaps learning from the mistakes of this film and appliying it to the next.
