Dragonlance - Dragons Of The Autumn Twilight description
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

♥♥♥♥♥ OK Cartoon Fantasy
Based on the popular games and novels by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, "Dragonlance - Dragons of Autumn Twilight" is a very whittled down version of the much loved book. The film follows the story pretty closely. A band of wanderers meet together again after five years of adventures and soul searching individually. The come home to find the realm infested by hob goblins, and savage monsters called draconian, and plans of all species enslavement by the evil dragon god Tarkisis.

The film, I thought, works more often than it doesn't. The action was bloody yet never so confused you can't keep up with it. The characters, while broad, are well voiced by the likes of Michael Rosenbaum, Kiefer Sutherland (as always giving the best performance), Lucy Lawless, Michelle Trachtenberg, and Jason Marsden. Also the story, while more or less the same for fantasy, wasn't bad.

The flaws, however, are impossible too look over. I would have liked to have seen a bit more depth to some of the characters; sure Tanis Half-Elvin got a lot of time devoted to his inner conflicts, but what about the other? I was also uncomfortable with some of the ogling of female body parts. I still don't feel sex should be part of cartoons, call me old fashioned. And finally, everyone's complaint, the animation. It was OK, until they tried to blend the 2-D animation with the computer-generated 3D elements, it just didn't sync in well with each other.

Is it worth watching? I don't know. I am mixed about it. It wasn't that bad, but it wasn't that good either.
