Raistlin looks a bit too much like Heman in my opinion. And this probably should be in the Media Discussions.

Why did they allow this to be made? MY EYES!

Watching that trailer makes me really want to go watch the D&D movie again.

I confess I am rather concerned by the look of the trailer. The 2D animation is thoroughly unimpressive and the 3D looks to mesh rather poorly; I would probably have preferred to see the latter cut to allow better quality in the former. Seriously, anime has been representing fantasy settings with high-quality art for long enough that this has little excuse.

That said, it may look or work better in the final product.

Honestly? I don't care if the animation is in the style of the 60s Spider-Man cartoon, as long as they get the story and characterization across intact.

It's been getting... mixed reviews from people who have seen it thusfar (poor 2D/3D blending is a big complaint). I'm a big Dragonlance fan, and I'm not sure if I'm going to bother.

Edit: I'm told that the music is quite good.

It looks horrible... I'm more reminded of Heman and the original D&D cartoon than anything else. And apparently someone is killing a dragon with a SWORD! Since this never happens in the actual novels, I'm guessing the storytelling team got a bit out of control.

Also, I'm guessing they'll downplay dragonfear a LOT. It just wouldn't make sense for the American public to have our big strong heroes afraid of a lizard, now would it? *sigh*
