At the Movies: Dragonlance

Yikes, it's even worse than the trailer!

Remember Panday, the animated series? Remember how bad it was? Well, the animation here is about on par with it. They cheaped out on every possible way--the character drawings were horrible, the movements were jerky (as if they cut the number of animation frames in half) and the CGI was atrocious.

It's as if they spent all their money on the talented voice cast (Keifer, who nails Raistlin, Lucy Lawless, Michael Rosenbaum) and cheaped out on their animators (animated in...India?!? What the hell?); it would've been better to cast no-names and spent the money on some talented animation studio; heck, what I wouldn't give to have Studio Ghibli do this.

What a wasted opportunity.
