Dragonlance animated?

[nausicaa83]

So, Margaret Weis came here in Italy to announce back in Lucca that they were making an animated movie from her Dragonlance books. I was excited about it, until I saw the trailer.

Dragons of Autumn Twilight.

Now I just want to kill them all with an axe and use their skin to decorate my front door. That has to be the worst animation I have ever seen since He-Man. And don't get me started on the horrible CGI.

This so much needs my "Fuck You" icon.

Ahh no! I totally love those books, but this looks shite. You'd think that no one would have the neck to bring out such crap looking animation what with the popularity to Miyazaki, Pixar etc. etc. I hate most CGI and the like you said, the hand drawn stuff looks like something from a low-budget 80s cartoon. Nooooo...

I'm still hoping it's a fake and this is some crazy joke. =_=

I can only agree with you.. Horrible 2D and horrible 3D in a very horrible cocktail

It looks like it was done by a bunch of drunk monkeys with a Commodore 64... =_=

Never dismiss drunken monkeys! But maybe C64.......

From a professional CGI standpoint, the cel shaders and volumetric lighting on the dragons are rather nicely done. But that's just the pros. For the cons, this looks like straight-to-video 80's animation similar to "Heavy Metal" minus using any reference for the animation. And in a lot of shots, the dragons look like pre-rendered game sprites. In other words, crap.

My favorite part is how during the army scenes, they animate a soldier once and then duplicate him a hundred times (they thought I wouldn't notice?!) :P

Guess they had a budget of $20 tops. This looks like some nightmare!

Incuriosita dalla cosa ci avevo dato un'occhiata domenica assieme ad alcuni amici.
Siamo rimasti di gelo °°;;;
E dire che speravamo in un live! >_>

I didn't know anyone still drew this way. O.O Wow, this makes me really sad. I loved those books! ;__; I can't believe with todays market they could ever think this would be acceptable. I want to believe this is a joke. **shakes fist**
