Plots(1)
Knight Bowen (Dennis Quaid) attempts to instill the values of King Arthur in his pupil, Prince Einon (Lee Oakes and David Thewlis), in the hope that he will rule more wisely than his tyrannical father. Einon is given one half of a dragon's heart after he is wounded in return for promising to rule well, but he reneges on his promise by becoming as big a tyrant as his father. Disillusioned, Bowen vows to kill every dragon in existence. Years later he meets the dragon Drago (voiced by Sean Connery), and, after initial hostility, the two strike up an unlikely friendship.

Great fantasy where the most likeable dragon ever literally shines. The ending is incredibly moving and it makes me very soft inside.

This film remains fresh, entertaining, and funny. An easygoing affair, where the visual effects have aged only slightly and the main characters are still timeless and charismatic. A film with a clear message. It is slightly spoiled by a low rating, but nothing can be done about it. A legend in its time.

One of my most favourite films. A beautiful and entertaining adventure where you will have a great time and maybe even shed a tear at the end.

I used to really like this film, but as one gets older, they see that it's just a simpler Hollywood spectacle, which starts quite harshly but then turns into an adventure comedy, so the more serious tone that appears at the beginning doesn't resurface. This bothered me quite a bit, and the fact that it takes place in Slovakia didn't help either.
