Talk:The Flight of Dragons

message: If anyone knows, what is the story behind the animation of the Flight of Dragons?  It has many of the characteristics common to the Japanese anime of that era, but this is clearly an American animated film.  Perhaps some US studio said "lets make an American animated movie, but have it animated in the Japanese style."
:At the time the movie was made, a lot of animated movies had the animation outsourced to Asia. I don't really know enough details about that to be able to add it to the article, though. --user.lain 20:29, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Who started filling out this article?  Do you think a section on interpretation should be added?  There is plenty to run on because of the dialectic between magic and science.  In this film I think it's cool how science saves the day where usually in movies science is kept in the Frankenstein corner.  
What about a section on the animation?  In the discussion people already added a lot, enough that could be added to the article.
Can you think of other sections?

message: "Zoology!" was removed from the quotes section because it supposedly didn't appear in the movie; however, doesn't Peter list the names of branches of science when he says he disbelieves all forms of magic? IMHO it should be added back, perhaps in a better context. --Kjoonlee 07:06, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I believe that the IMDb may be wrong regarding the voice casting of Robert McFadden as Sir Orin. I believe Larry Storch is the voice of Sir Orin. If you download a video of Mr. Storch doing his aristocratic character voice, it's a dead on match for Orin.
Additionally, there are two very prolific voice actors - Ed Peck and Jack Lester - who are not listed within the article. As it is "commonly known" that the credit for Solarius is missing, perhaps if examples of Mr. Peck's and Mr. Lester's work can be viewed for comparison, corrections can be made.
I'm not going to make the edit to change Orin's credit to Mr. Storch at this time, but certainly wanted to put this information here. Credit where credit is due!
EDIT: Having listened to Bob McFadden's work as Slythe on "Thundercats," I am now absolutely convinced that Robert McFadden voiced Solarius and Larry Storch voiced Sir Orin, which is in direct contravention of information in this article. I will endeavor to contact production teams involved with their work and post that source information here should I obtain it.

message: There is no article on the actual book, and all references redirect to this movie page. That cant be good, can it?
:Well if you feel brave enough, go ahead and create an article about the book.--NeilEvans 19:46, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

message: That's the dragon's name in The Hobbit. Deserves at least a passing mention, I'd have thought, since I can't believe it was accidental. 86.132.139.133 (talk) 00:24, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Limited Edition DVD???

message: Where is the source that says it was originally released on August 20, 1982 directly to video? I am wondering why they released it directly to video. I know one of the reasons for releasing a film directly to video is being a foreign film & it was release in the UK first but I don't see why they chose to release it in the UK first. Also, on the list of Rankin/Bass Productions films, it's billed as a TV special. A reason for releasing a special directly to video is lack of support from a T.V. network but there's no info on whether or not it was originally intended to be a T.V. special on it's premiere. Topcraft films before that were theatrical releases. Also, it wasn't until the 1990s, that family films was the norm for direct to video films. Evope (talk) 19:17, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
