One of the previous reviews said that Tika jumped off a cliff and turned into a dragon. That is not who that was. People need to realize how the movie was made and the budget of the movie. I think the movie was pretty good for what they had to work with. I can't wait to see a big budget live action version either. But how long did LOTR fans have to wait for a great version of that movie to get made. It has been so long since I have read the books, that this movie was a good enough summation of the book that it makes me want to go read the books again. And as every one knows, when is the movie ever as good as the book anyway? I was disappointed in the animation however. Like others have said, it was a mix of 2d and 3d animation. And neither one was great. It did have the feel of the old D&D cartoon.
If you are interested in re-living the story and don't have the time to read the book, I think this film is an acceptable substitute.
