Dungeons and Dragons - The Movie

When Profion, an evil wizard, schemes to dethrone the new empress of a mystical
land, she recruits a band of adventurers (which includes a sorceress and a
rogue) to find a magical artifact that will foil the wizard's plot. This artifact,
the Rod of Dragon Control, gives the bearer the ability to control dragons...
Rated PG-13, it has some violence and it's not
too bad for older kids and grownups.

My Rating (1-5, 5 being best): 
- The dragons looked pretty good, but the Gold and Reds
looked TOO much alike. The golds should have look more Asian-type to match
D&D's game.

It's decades on from when Bowen, in his last year of life, is given the last
dragon egg in existence and he places it in a monastery for safe-keeping.
Protected and cared for by the monks, the dragon is nurtured in secrecy -
which is all to the good because a prophecy comes that a dragon's heart will
cause the land to become ruled by evil. The new main character, apart from
Drake the dragon, is Geoff (sounding more like Joff, played by Chris Masterson)
who is a stablehand, but is training with a home-built fighting machine to
become a knight. There's fat chance of that, however, as the addled king has
appointed Lord Osric (Harry van Gorkum) as chancellor and the beastly chap
is out to make it impossible for those of Geoff's class to become anything
other than peasants.
Rated PG-13, it has some violence but isn't too
scary. The young dragon is cute, kids might like him.
My Rating (1-5, 5 being best):
- This movie had some cute parts (like Drake trying
to breathe frost instead of fire) but the movie was dull until the last 15
minutes.


DragonHeart is the latest and arguably the greatest dragon movie so far. It
stars Sean Connery (Draco's voice), Dennis Quaid (Bowen), Pete Postlethwaite
(Gilbert), Dina Meyer (Kara), and David Thewlis (King Einon). It is about
a young king that is mortally wounded as a child. The dragon saves him only
to have the king to grow up more evil than his father. The Knight Bown hunts
down the dragon to kill him for "tainting" the king with his evil heart. Bowen
and the Dragon make a pact when they come to a standstill in a fight neither
can win. It is twisted version of the story "The Reluctant Dragon". Even non-dragon
lovers can appreciate the dazzling special effects in this one!
Rated PG-13, it has some violence and really
isn't for the younger kids, but is not too bad for older ones and grownups
young at heart.

Draco was a GORGEOUSLY done dragon! Some of the best
CG I have seen in a movie. The movie was fun, but the ending was sad.


DragonSlayer is an exciting Wizard and Dragon story in the 16th century. Placed
in the British countryside, a horrifying, fire-breathing dragon named Vermithrax
terrorizes the area. The only hope is an aging sorcerer which is killed before
he can help the people, so the responsibility falls on his young apprentice,
Galen. The people think that Galen will only stand to make the monster even
more deadly, and does not want him to interfer. Galen takes up the challenge,
and you have to see the movie to see what happens!
Rated PG, it has some violence. But it is fit
for older kids and adults who like fantasy based movies!

My favorite dragon movie of ALL time!! Done in 1981,
this is an amazing movie. Done with "stop motion' photography, the dragon,
Vermithrax is VERY well done. Gorgeous work. Has a nice plot. I would NOT
mind seeing this movie re-done with today's technology!

Dragonworld is about a young American boy named John who is orphaned at 5
years old and sent to Scotland to live with his grandfather. The lonely child
wishes for a friend and POOF! A baby dragon appears. John grows up, and falls
on hard times. A greedy businessman tricks him into "borrowing" Yowler for
an amusement park, and John must find a way to save his dragon from becoming
a main attraction. Is it too late? Stars Sam MacKenzie as John McGowan.
This movie is rated PG, it's not too scary for
young kids, and is available at most video rental stores.

The dragon, was actually a two headed w/two different
personality dragon, in one body! It was a cute movie.


A heartwarming musical adventure about the friendship between a young boy
and his invisible pet, "Pete's Dragon" casts a ;magical spell with thrilling
plot twists and a delightful blend of live action and enchanting Disney animation!
Peter, a young orphan, flees from his cruel guardians to a Maine fishing town
with a lovable but mischievous dragon named Elliott - his one true friend!
Fortunately fro Pete, they are taken in by a kind lighthouse keeper, Nora
(Helen Reddy) and her father (Mickey Rooney). But Elliott's flair for flying
and disappearing at will continually gets Pete into trouble. The adventure
heats up when the townsfolk try to capture Elliott for their own gain - only
to discover that a fire-breathing dragon may be the only solution to an unexpected
problem! An interesting mix of reallife and animation mixed together as only
Disney can do.
This movie is rated G, great for the whole family.

Possibly the worst movie ever done by Disney. I really
disliked this one. It was interesting to see animtation OVER real film.

is about an evil Wizard Ommadon who threatens to destroy nature. The only
hope is a modern-day scientist, Peter Dickenson who is thust into the magical

a dragon named Gorbash. Peter has to learn how to use his new dragon body
properly before the adventure to get the crown. It is up to a couple Dragons,
an outlaw Elf, and a noble knight to save the world of the evil wizard Ommadon.
This movie is rated NOT RATED, but would be G,
great for the whole family.

I loved this movie. It's based roughly on the book of
the same name. They gave all the different dragons wonderfully different personalities!

to join the Chinese army to save his life. With the help of a small Chinese
dragon named Mushu, she succeeds in helping the army force back an invading
enemy.
This movie is rated G, great for the whole family

An older 80's movie. This dragon looks more like a flying
dog. It's a cute movie though.

The Dungeons and Dragons cartoon was popular in the early 80's. A group of kids take a ride on the Dungeons And Dragons ride at a carnival, and takes a turn for the worst when they end up in a world based on the fantasy game!
Info on the D&D Cartoon!


This is the Japanese version of Dungeons and Dragons. They have several episodes out, and the dragons in this looks like they could easily beat up any from the original D&D cartoon!
