It's on their site, so I think we can very safely assume it's not a 'fan made' trailer. However, it's not THE trailer.
From Paramount:
"Dragonlance fans -- We’re sorry that it has taken this long to get a trailer out. We had been waiting in hopes that we could show you the final trailer but unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances (i.e. key talent issues etc) we have not been able to cut the final trailer together and get 100% approval. Ever since we showed this piece at GenCon and DragonCon there has been a huge demand to see the trailer so we figured it’d be best to show you the rough version instead of having everyone wait even longer. We appreciate your patience. Enjoy!"
Interestingly, it's a PG-13 movie.

That's not completely surprising -- there's some pretty extensive gore a few spots in the book. (These, naturally, coincidentally happen right after the healing staff gets its mojo working. For half the book, they get minor scrapes and cuts. Then they get a healing staff and suddenly faces start getting melted and arms get ripped off. Reeeeal subtle there, guys.)WayneLigon said:
Disney could blend in CGI stuff pretty well, at least before they scuttled their feature film department.
Good animation is like anything else. You get what you pay for. I understand this a relatively low-budget film and this is apparently a rough cut, but it still looks really terrible.
Animation quality....eh...so, it's not all that amazing. As someone said, you get what you pay for...and they knew they were not going to get a huge return from a project like this. What DOES irritate me, however is that a few details were way off. As anal as Hasbro-WotC is about licensing their stuff.....
Why didn't someone catch the fact that (not only once, but repeatedly in just the trailer) Tiamat/Takhisis was breathing fire from all five heads? She is sorta iconic...you know?

I pronounce it TAK - HEH - SISS . . .
I don't like the way I heard it in that trailer, TAH - KEY - SIS, but it's probably "correct"
Ouch, the animation in that trailer was bad for Saturday morning, much less feature-length film.
My hopes for a great animated Dragonlance film just evaporated completely.
Why is such an amazing property like Dungeons and Dragons so seemingly impossible to license a quality movie from!?!?!?! They've been trying since the 80s, you'd think at some point somebody competent could pull it together . . . .

I'm pretty sure GI Joe had better production values that that p.o.s. I'm a die hard DL fan, and have read Dragons of Autumn Twilight close to a dozen times, and I can't see myself even getting this from Netflix ... because if they couldn't spend more than $20 on the animation, you know they didn't pay Lucy Lawless to do a second take of anything. We'll be lucky if their lips are even close to sync.
A 'cue' is a hint or something you play pool with. A 'queue' is a line you wait on. Just fyi.Wormwood said:

I'm hoping that is a very rough cut. The two styles don't go together well at all -- in fact, I think the traditional animation wouldn't have looked so rough without the computer-generated parts and vice versa. There aren't too many movies or TV shows that go for such an obvious blending of the different styles. Skyland is an example that combines the two, but it works very nicely there.
Not holding my breath for this flick to turn out well, at any rate.
