Review – Dragonslayer

Before today I don’t think I’d watched this movie from beginning to end since my days at sci fi cons back in the early 80s. Ah, memories. Apparently it isn’t such a great memory for star Peter MacNicol, as one of the IMDb notes indicates that he leaves this one off his résumé. Can’t say as I blame him, what with the Blue Lagoon hairdo and all. Otherwise, however, this isn’t bad for a bit of sword and sorcery. Sure, I found myself rooting for the dragon, but that’s just me. The picture is also of some minor historical importance, as it employed some innovative animation techniques and represented what at the time was a rare departure from kiddie fare by Disney (working here in cooperation with Paramount). Mildly amusing
