A gem
WOW! WOW! This is one of my three favorite animated films, along with Flight of Dragons and the Black Cauldron. Original idea, and great character designs. If only it were longer........ Jeff Bridges fits in nicely as Schmedrick. Christopher Lee is wonderful as King Haggard. About characters. The Unicorn is an interesting character, even though it's a unicorn. Schmedrick is not as interesting, but worth a few laughs. Molly is such a straight character, she is almost boaring. The butterfly is funny. Mommy Fortuna is a great idea. I enjoy that sequence a lot. Her stupid helper is also a laugh. The band of thieves is not as good, I guess since that is a transition from Mommy Fortunas to King Haggards. The tree is tasteless. King Haggard is a great villain, since he is not actually evil, just greedy. Prince Leer is a romantic fool. The cat is very good. The red bull is a good, menacing monster. However, maybe my favorite character is the skeleton who demands the wine.Maybe its just me, but I feel this is SUCH a good movie. Don't wonder. Don't rent. Don't even consider. BUY!!
