In the peaceful land of Krynn, the evil goddess Takhis and her flock of dragons threaten to unleash their scourge upon the world. The only thing standing in their way are three determined warriors: the priestess Goldmoon (Lucy Lawless, "Xena Warrior Princess"), the half-elf warrior Tanis (Michael Rosenbaum, "Smallville"), and the wizard Raistlin (Keifer Sutherland, "24"). A mix of vintage and 3-D animation, this action-packed fantasy is based on the bestselling novel "Dragonlance: Dragons Of Autumn Twilight".

Based upon the first of a trilogy of books with a huge fan following, much was expected of this film; sadly it's a complete failure.
Put simply, this is visually horrific; the 3D graphics aren't even of computer-game standard, let alone good enough to be in a film. The 'traditional' animation is also very poor, outclassed by any average children's cartoon.
Many people argue to forgive this because it still represents the books, but I think that it even does a very poor job of telling the story and I wouldn't for a moment consider reccommending it to anyone. Even if you're a slow reader, you're better off getting Weis & Hickman's book than letting this put you off.
I've read the books and felt let down by this DVD. The graphics were on a par with 'Dungeond and Dragons' cartoons of the '80s and not what you would expect from something made in 2007. If pixar or similar had done this then it would be worth watching.
