Dragonlance trailer at Youtube at last!

[Baby Samurai]

I'm wondering if people wanted a more Asian/anime style, or maybe something along the lines of the animated Clone Wars series?

I'm willing to bet most people would say a Dragon Lance Anime would be sacrilege. If they had the budget, I'd say they should have gone photo-realistic cgi.

Dragonlance Movie

I have been really surprised that something from D&D's IPs cannot get the proper funding and talent to be done right. All this sort of work does is make gaming and D&D look bad. Dragonlance deserves something better. Those stories could be D&D's lord of the rings if done right. Someone get Weta and Peter Jackson to take over and start from scratch.

Very few movies have done CGI so it doesnt look like garbage.
Dragonlance is not one of those movies. Im sure the movie will be good, but seriously mixing CG and 2d animation looks like crap.

A real life movie would have been expensive and I doubt Peter Jackson wants to get stuck being the fantasy movie guru for the rest of his life. So your gonna have to get someone else.

 

[Wombat]

From what I hear, Peter Jackson has optioned Naomi Novik's Temeraire novels (and both of them are very excited over the prospects), so he might be willing to deal with more fantasy after all -- just a matter of what catches his interest at that point.

 

[Kesh]

It does say that this is not a finalized trailer, so I'm hoping the CGI is a placeholder. That said, the traditional animation is very low-budget.

 

[BlackMoria]

Sheesh....I don't know if that is supposed to be the 5 heads of Tiamat / Tarkasis in tha shot or 5 colored dragons but where is the blue dragon part? And what's with the green dragon? It looks like some sort of .... bug, with those appendages sticking out of its head.

 

[BlackMoria]

It is saturday morning cartoon faire. And no, it isn't going to look prettier than that.

Low budget = low production values

Disappointing...

 

[Festivus]

Disappointing? I'll hold judgement until I actually SEE the film. So it's animated, big deal... it's also rated PG13, so it's not going to be any Saturday morning cartoon I would let my kids watch. I don't think it's target audience is kids, it's people who grew up reading the Dragonlance novels that will enjoy this film.
