Absolutely stunning visuals, especially as this alien world slowly falls apart.
The dialogue is dopey but acceptable. All in all, pretty good.

Re: Dragon Hunters - new animated film I've never heard
I had bought the German DVD in February...here were some of my comments on the film:
If you are looking for a mature children's animated film in the style of Coraline or Pixar flicks, I highly recommend this film. It's very exciting movie - definitely one of the best dragon-oriented films that I've seen. It's also one of the most visually original and exciting for a Pixar-type CG-animated film (with Wall-E in first place of course). The world in this movie is made up of a broken-up earth, with big areas of rocks, buildings floating around the atmosphere (it's sort of as if Earth is made up of a lot of mini-earths all sort of floating next to each other, always moving, but with gravity). This world is sort of similar to the world in Hong Kong's The Legend Of Zu. Dragon Hunters has the better story though. Besides Dragon Hunters and Legend of Zu having a similar heavenly scenery, both movies have similar monsters - In Legend of Zu, there's tons of skulls that merge and form into one mega-huge monster skull. In Dragon hunters, there's tons of bats that merge and form into one mega-huge monster.
This film was a nice surprise, and just wait till you see the main dragon villain in this film - pretty scary and huge - it's sort of like the same build up to the monster in Cloverfield.

I'll be posting my review for the site very soon, but until then: I loved it, and so did my daughter. A shame it didn't get a full release in the States.

Woot! Thanks for this post. My nieces are on their summer vacation and I was looking for some DVD entertainment for them. This looks great!
