The Dragon Hunters
by Terrie L. Teare
My son had been wanting to see this movie. I was very pleased to find it on Amazon.com and save money getting it for his birthday. The seller was very quick and the movie was as described. I love Amazon!
5/5
surprise
by Scotty Reed
I watched what I could of the original cartoon. And when I saw that a movie was made, I though it was going to be quaint and cute. But I didn't think it was going to be great. I thought just like many cartoon CG movies, it was going to be amusing but that's about it. Once the menu loaded up, I got the first impression that something different was going on. The sound quality was thick and the surround sound even on my cheep speakers was gripping. Then the actual movie started, and all preconceptions fell to the ground. The movie is DE-TAILED. And beautiful! The vision of the backgrounds of the show were amplified by the merciless CGI.
Another thing in this movie is a great beating heart. Care is all over this picture. Most CG animated DVD movies get the job done, but there is not much to get attached to. This move is detailed even between the lines.
Forest Witaker did a great Lian Chu. His deep voice fit. This is an AWESOME movie. Not just for kids, anyone, open to it, would enjoy this movie to pieces. Absolute recommend.
5/5
From the depths of Obscurity
by Joe (Anywhere, IOWA)
Though this film was originally French, the American dubbed version is very enjoyable. From out of no where, this movie came recommended on Amazon, so I figured, what the heck? The graphics and scenery are fantastic and the story, though standard fare, is very enjoyable. The level of humor is there and the ending does have one fact that was unexpected, though after the film was over, we realized that it was better that way. My favorite parts were the scenery, and I would rewind the DVD to see some of the backgrounds again. After a while though, we just continued with our film. This is definitely on our list of films that we must own.
4/5
A breath of fresh air
by Eric (Shizuoka, Japan)
I'm torn between a four and a five star. I picked four stars because the storyline is very simple. I agree it's geared more for kids rather than adults. There are only a few characters throughout the movie which makes it easy for kids to follow. However, it is too violent and dark for young children. We started out watching it with our 2 and nearly 4 year old and they had a hard time once it got really dark and more dragon hunting. But, it's a PG rating and should have known better. With that being said, my husband and I really did enjoy it. The world that was created was incredible and my husband and I were fascinated with the animation. The fact that it is so different than the standard Disney Pixar stuff we usually watch really got our attention. We thought the voice talents were great and we really enjoyed the score of the movie. Kind of made us think of Chinese techno at times. I hadn't heard of this movie until it popped up on Amazon as a pre-order and had several wonderful reviews. I'm glad I took a chance with a movie unknown to us. We'll be watching this occasionally and I'm sure our two kids will get into it when they aren't so scared.
5/5
Best Foreign 3D Animated Feature
by Steve Browne (Tesuque, NM USA)
If the Oscars had such a category "Dragon Hunters" would win; as it is the movie was considered for best animated feature of 2008 but was overshadowed by Disney and Dreamworks products. More unfortunately, it has never found a theatrical distributor in the U.S., so many of us (including myself) are "discovering" it on DVD and Blu-ray.
This is the finest 3D animation, and story, and music, I have seen anywhere. It is visually imaginative, witty, and even has an admirable moral or two. It is one of those creations which make you respect the motion picture form as transcendent, where now and then (but not often) the whole is greater than the parts, where a bevy of extremely talented artists and technicians have been motivated to coalesce their efforts. Basically a European production originating from a French cartoon series, the film has been 100% adapted to the American viewer (voices well recast and reanimated). The mortar of the bricks is the music composed by Klaus Badelt and performed by the Munich Symphony Orchestra, with an added interlude by Jalan Jalan. Alas, 80 minutes is not enough, I'm sure you will agree. P.S.: The Blu-ray version is stunning!
Not all European animated features are wonderful; the "Dragon Hunters" DVD contains a preview from Peace Arch Entertainment of "Donkey Xote" from (naturally) Spain. The donkey character has been swiped 100% from the "Shrek" movies, and many critics say the script is awful. The DVD trailer makes one appreciate "Dragon Hunters" all the more.
