I would never have believed if I did not see it with my own eyes. An animated movie of Dragonlance! Dragonlance is one of the first few series of fantasy novels that I read when I was growing up. I absolutely enjoyed it, especially The Chronicles Trilogy.
In the trilogy, some of the good guys are actually pretty dark and shady characters. It is not your usual David Eddings whereby all good guys basically triumphed over evil and everyone lives happily ever after. There was quite a lot of moral struggles and the characters basically had to choose sides. My favourite character is actually the one with the darkest soul, Raistlin Majere . He is the archetypal antihero or tragic hero in the series and eventually had to "turned to the dark side" in order for the party to triumph over the baddies. Ironic.
I am honestly a big fan of the novels but I have my doubts on this animated movie. However, I think the trilogy could be a potentially good fantasy movie. Someone actually posted a potential set of cast over at Youtube. Gary Oldman to play Sturm Brightblade?? Come on!
