My daughter has become dragon-obsessed, and I was looking for a dragon video or dvd for her for Xmas. I wanted the subject matter appropriate for a 7 year old, and for the dragons to be "good." I took a chance on this and was very pleasantly surprised. The dragons are not evil, but wise, and the subject basically the silliness of a war driven by a manipulative man in power and warriors too accustomed to fighting to question it. In my opinion it is also about the courage it takes to open your eyes and overcome evil. And yes, the children, the two main characters, grow to become the heroes with the help of the dragons. A bit predictable but wonderful for children. The animation is well done, in an unusual and interesting style. Oh, and I love that the female warrior is portrayed as strong, an equal to her male counterpart. The violence is handled well - the conflict is shown as necessary, but no gore. None of my children found it scary, and they all enjoy it. (My children are ages 2 to 9, and although my 2 yo doesn't really sit and watch it, what she has watched with me doesn't scare her.) It has been watched over and over. When I bought this I had no idea it was made in conjunction with Mega Blocks, which I have since found has a line of Mega Block kits to go with the movie. That's fun too, but the video stands well alone. If you're looking for an uplifting children's video about the power of wisdom, seeing through evil, and strong male and female characters coming into cooperation (and about *dragons*), this is a great choice!Read full review
Love the movie but it came in almost a week late
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New
Liked the animation but was way to short in story line. Look forward to second movie hopefully well storied out. With same good animation as first movie.
