Garrett, what are you doing? Garrett:
I'm driving! Kayley:

User Review
Nice Variation on Old Legend
Rating: 9/10
I caught this film on video because the trailer wasn't too good. But it did
have Eric Idle voicing Devon so I gave it a chance. I loved it. The dragon
stole most of the scenes, but the other characters weren't bad either.
Kayley & Garrett made a good couple and it was refreshing to see a romance
that wasn't based on looks or riches. I wanted them to be together.
Bladebeak was amusing and Aydon (voiced by the excellent Frank Welker) was
good to watch. Rubere was deliciously villainous. The weakest characters
were Arthur & Merlin but the film wasn't really about them so it didn't
matter.
The best scenes were set in the Forbidden Forest where we witness all kinds
of weird and wonderful flora and fauna. There are good songs (I Stand Alone,
Through Your Eyes & On My Father's Wings especially.) I also cried at
several points. Ignore the bad press. Watch it. 9/10
