A group of
dragon hunters goes against the biggest dragon of them all.
This movie
is based on a French TV animated series. I never heard of that series before
and didn’t watch a single episode of that, therefore I can testimony that it’s
not really needed; you can easily enjoy this animated movie without any prior
knowledge.
Plot wise
this is kid stuff. I don’t mean it in a demeaning way, kid animation got its
place, not everything can be as sophisticated as the Pixar’s stuff.
The story
is simple and straightforward, the humor is broad and mainly physical but also
quite effective. An adult watcher will not probably laugh out loud but will
surely smile a lot. The ending, in particular the final boss of the whole
movie, is interesting and deliver an “epic” quality that is often absent to
more loaded productions.
What is
impressive is the graphic. Instead of going for a straight conversion of those
terrible TV graphics they amped everything up to 11 (Thank you spinal tap). It’s
all really original and really good looking, a joy to the eyes.
Conclusion:
If you are a die hard animation fan you’ll like it but for the normal movie
goer this is too much kid fare.
