Review of The Flight of Dragons (1982) by Morgan O — 19 Jun 2007
Actually perfect fantasy aimed at 'the kids'. From the days when filmmakers realised that children can, and should, deal with genuinely important 'issues' (such as death and personal sacrifice), and that cinema for a younger audience should consist of more than a series of colourful set-pieces, sacharrine plot and dialogue, and fart jokes (Shrek, Pirates, Are We Done Yet? take note).
I cannot recommend this film highly enough; the narrative is brilliant, the source material is brilliant, the voice-talent is FLAWLESS (James Earl Jones is possibly on better form here than as Darth Vader).
As for the aesthetics,the look and feel of Flight...puts it in a league of it's own. if you can get hold of this film, do so immediatly.
