Just what I expected

Excellent but underrated film

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

I think the reason it might not have been re released yet is because the movie while using the science from Peter Dickenson's book takes most of the characters from George and yet George does not get any credit on the film.My theory is that due to him neither getting money nor credit for this work George does not want it re released until he has been fairly compensated for what is obviously his work. I have read both books and in Flight of the Dragons I at no point notice the mention of a talking wolf nor a wizard named Carolinus. Both of these characters appear in George's book and in fact the man in the book turns into a large dragon named Gorbash. I think it would be nice if he got the credit for character invention then maybe we could see a re release.

For years I could never remember what the name of this movie was, all I knew was the basic plot summary and that I loved it SO much! I have not seen it in over 10 years but I can still remember everything about it. I just recently figured out the title and I have been searching for it ever since. The only problem I have is being able to find a place to buy it or rent it. This is one of the greatest impacting fantasy films ever and i recommend it to everyone! This movie was the first to interest me in fantasy and allowed me to broaden my creative imagination. If you enjoyed this movie you would also enjoy The Last Unicorn, which I have heard is coming out again pretty soon.

it has been at least 15 years since i saw this film on BETA (yes, beta!) . . . i was about 4 years old the first time i saw it and it has absolutely influenced who i have become in so many unmentionable ways . . . i still believe magic and science CAN coexist, at least they do in my mind as a practitioner of science but a firm believer of all things magical (and musical). the paradigms expressed in this film and the struggle to keep them all alive still bring a sting to my soul to this very day. i had a sudden longing to see this film again tonight - it is new years eve and i'm reflecting on who i am and what i believe in. funny that i should hear a song tonight that reminded me too much of the theme "flight of dragons"-i almost cried. i need to return to the innocence of where my optimism for this world was formed, and it lies here. i typed in the film title, and here i find myself! i'm glad to find a forum dedicated to this, as no one i have ever met has ever even heard of this animation!

In these days of CGI and DTV, where technology is emulating magic and magic is something you read of in a book, Flight Of Dragons is one of those films that makes it worthwhile to look back at old cel-animation...Through the eyes of Peter, played by the late John Ritter, We are taken to a world which could really exist... Where real old magic is on it's last legs, and the last of the great wizards wish to take it somewhere to exist for the rest of time. When you look at Peter's science, you will find it flawed, since new theories have replaced old, but nowadays, CGI dragons are cheap, and you don't really need to have a actor even on the set... Or, in some cases, the set even.I hope, one day, this will come to DVD... Yeah, The animation is outdated, but it's story is not...
