Review and Questions:

Beautiful. The scenery, although animated, was so beautiful. I liked the way the universe in this story was made. It was just gorgeous. The actors were perfectly cast and didn't take away from the story at all. That Zoe was quite a character. Although she worked Gwizdo's nerves at one point, she never bothered me. In a sense the film can also be educational: do the right thing, sometimes things seem nearly impossible, but you should continue; there are quite a few lessons. The whole film was darling.

Was I hooked the first 15 minutes? The film did spike my interest. I was a little confused, but it gets explained later. You might be more observant than I was.

Did I enjoy the characters? Was the acting good? The characters were what you'd expect giving the circumstances. Lian-Chu, had something besides the obvious weighing on him. This added a little more depth to the character. All the actors managed to portray their characters in the best way.

How original is it? Not to many dragon hunting movies out right now, that I can think of. Even though this was a quest to destroy the dragon or let the planet be destroyed, they did an excellent job of making it more than that. The universe they created only made it better.

Favorite Quotes/Scenes:

Pretty much loved every scene, because they were all so beautiful. I didn't take out a pencil to write any quotes down.
