film adaptations of classic fantasy

You know, now that we're a year+ removed in retrospect from Lord of the Rings...all the fans are so relieved and thankful that not only did they not mess it up, but it was great, and it introduced a lot of the world to one of the best books ever written. I can't wait to see the Hobbit brought to the big screen eventually by Pete Jackson. I am starting to believe after movies like The Matrix, X-Men, Spiderman, that a very good attempt at Ender's Game will someday be made... again, we fans must wait and cross our fingers, whispering 'don't F it up...don't F it up'.

That said... this one has me very nervous. More info on this site dragonlance-movie.com. Hmm..animated...not live action and not heavy CGI... I am worried. Look at what was done with the dragons in Reign of Fire. I really think they could do a pretty good job of this if they spent a serious budget on it...but there's the rub eh? It's pure fantasy, and probably not mainstream enough to penetrate the Harry Potter/Tolkien audience.

Let's hope they don't F it up badly. But what was the last non-CGI animated movie that was good? Final Fantasy Spirits Within? If it can measure up to that we'll be lucky.
