This will be a relatively short post. I intend to totally discuss all of the first week of school, but that probably won't happen until the weekend.

Now I don't usually talk about movies and rarely do I review them, but this is a momentous occasion. Since around 1997 I have been obsessed with Dragonlance (Everything is still Raistlin's fault) and have waited for them to make some sort of movie or show. I've even cast, mostly, a live action version. Well, yesterday I need wait no longer. In my hot little hands was the movie of the first book. So here goes my thoughts:

The animation was not as well done as one would hope, I go so far as to say it was quite mediocre in fact; there were some really good points though which helps. The voice acting was decent, but no one went that extra mile it seemed to me. Tas was the best character in his acting and everything, but they didn't take full advantage of the actor. The CGI was good, but did not blend well with everything around it, and they changed some things they should not have and left some things out that I wouldn't have. All in all a C, maybe if I push it a C+. Of course, this doesn't mean that I didn't enjoy every second simply because I was finally getting to see it. They did hint at a sequel so I am hoping that they put more energy and talent into it. One thing I must say is that at least I didn't dislike it as much as many fans seem to.
