Sam Schreiber you are damn right !!!

And I loved the fact that they established that dragons were using hydrogen gas for lift which explains why Bryagh went up like the Hindenburg.

I absolutely cannot get this comment out of my head. I still think about it years later whenever I become even mildly impressed with something I've achieved. Then a little voice in my head tells me that I'll never be as cool as Sir Orrin. I have, no kidding, thought about this comment at least once or twice a week since reading it about 4 years ago. I'm guessing it will haunt me to my dying day. I just...I just wanted you to know.

Plus you know getting Poonany from bad bitches half his age, who are themselves legendary warriors, without even trying.

Flaming swords of death 😎

It truly is sad. Why did all the party members have to die? Why? 😭 And then they just to a takesie-backsies.

@@WobblesandBean on the dragon itself... that Dragon was strong, killing them all with little effort and only dying to one knight who was prepared to be cooked alive just to get the sword hot enough to deal one strike to the dragon using its own fire against it to heat the metal. It shows both the strength of the dragon, how easily it killed, and the commit of the knight to take one last stand for his falling friends. ------ The whole story is just about the wizards putting all the magic in one place to keep it alive so mankind still has the ability to dream and hope for a better tomorrow. The only one of the 4 brothers whose magic wasn't fading, was the evil one because of the nature of his magics domain. For now, the magical balance was against him because one man used logic and reason to dismiss his even his magic, which is why magic was fading to begin with. The only reason his was thieving was because logic and reason hadn't yet beaten his kind of magic, mankind had figured out medicine, removing the Gold wizards demand, the green wizard and blue wizards were also conquered by mankind figuring out how to conquer nature. Only the Red wizard remained a threat because he spread lies and deception. Even in his fight with Peter, he said "I can block out the sun". But Peter basically met that with "where it was dummy...", meaning Sir Peter knew that in truth, Ommadon could only block out where the sun was a moment ago and it was still there, he knew all the Red wizard had, was a lie. He had figured things out because he cured himself of his mind being trapped in the dragon's head, by realising two minds can't share a single one, thus he finally understood why magic was loosing against logic and reason to begin with.Baiscally, in their world, reason is ultimately, logic was truth. When faced with the Red wizards whose power thieving on corruption and lies, knowing that logic and reason was the reality and truth gave him the edge. Logic is also why the Green wizard failed to stop the windmill in the introduction of the animation to begin with, because that windmill was a product of that same force. He could heal the fairies and swan, but in truth he couldn't protect the land anymore now mankind was conquering it. Because the death of the evil wizard and sealing of all magic in one place and thanks to the surviving 3 remaining wizards joint power, their power gave back life to the land, renewing it. It broke the curse that had plagued the land they were in that came from their fallen evil brother. The irony is, Ommadon could have lived in that magic domain too with his brother's, had he not been so convinced that his magic could survive. Because even he was under threat. Even then, though the evil wizard was dead, its made clear evil doesn't just go away its part of their world of magic as much as any other. It still remains, its just lost its "master" as such. The main source of his power is the Red crown, which cannot be destroyed that easily as it was a magical artifact. So while it remains, wherever it remains, evil could return. But since it was taken to the real world and away from the magical realm, it will be limited - until a time mankind returns to relying on magic, if that ever happened.

That's an amazingly thoughtful and deep comment. I've seen this movie I don't know how many times, but I've never thought about that until I read your comment.

@@countessD84 thank you. I didn't realize it myself until I was grown and watched it with my son. Rewatching it with him made me realize that Love is such a wild and powerful Magic that it can either strengthen the most stalwart of heroes or birth the darkest of villains with barely a moment of difference and equal amounts of heartbreak.

This was a heart-wrenching moment. "Cut well, old friend, and then Farewell!" Is that toxic masculinity / phallic worship? Meh, it's a fairy tale. We need more of these.

+zulium A prayer that any D&D Paladin must learn at heart...

Sorry but I just have to. Blade with whom I *have* lived

Cryyyyyyiiiingggg

Are there any people who watched this scene for the first time who didn't cry manly tears at Sir Neville's awesomeness?

Juan Sebastian Proaño any christian who fights zog

i mean he doesnt really believe in a particular god, so he's definitely a fighter. he's got the spunk and roughness of a fighter for sure.

@@I-VisiBomb-I A specific deity hasn't mattered to paladins since like the beginning of 3e. Even with that, I really more meant the heroic speech bit, which is universally applicable as an absolute moment of paladin-y heroic-ness.

@@tassadarc8069 "paladin-y heroic-ness" --> I'm stealing that

@@tassadarc8069 1) They should. Kind of cheap to make a literal divine warrior Not care about that. 2) Just because he never talks about one doesn't mean he doesn't have one: He's a Paladin, not a Cleric. (So he doesn't have to try and Convert people, lead religious services, etc). In this setting though, it's probably fair to say he worships the Christian God (specifically the medieval one) as he's heavily based off Sir Brian Neville-Smythe from the George and the Dragon.

@@Rensune 2) A fair and educated assumption in context! 1) They shouldn't. A structured belief system in D&D does not require a god, especially since gods gain their power from worshipers (and the universal powers stemming from alignment) in the first place in every D&D setting except Dragonlance and Ravenloft. I'm not arguing for the basic bitch 5e "you can do whatever you want without losing your gifts" oath system, mind. Just that D&D paladins don't really need to be overtly religious in order to be compelling, sort of like the Knights from the Dresden Files for one example.

I also love the line “cut well, old friend, and then: farewell” He knows he’s going to die. He knows his sword will now outlast him, and he verbalizes his hope that it is cared for. It may sound silly to some, but it is touching to me.

It's a fitting metaphor for him as well. He's a brave and noble warrior who carries the scars and marks of a lifetime of hard battles. He wasn't particularly remarkable within the company just like sword wasn't particularly remarkable amongst fantasy swords. He had no magic of his own, yet in that moment he shined and killed the next worst thing compared to omadon.

"Blade with whom I have lived, blade with whom I now die... serve light and justice one last time"

If only the actor gave it the gravity it deserved...

What also strikes me is the pity and mercy in the line “still one last life of pain”. He was chivalrous even in his last moment, facing pure evil. No malice in his heart. A pure knight.

@@MLGprodontmessbro I always felt that too, man, he is the truest knight ever.

I don't think I've watched this part since I was a kid, but it didn't occur until just now as I was watching it what was doing with his sword. You're absolutely right. A true knight and paladin to the end.

I guess when you genuinely love someone, it gives you the strength to do incredible things. Seeing someone so good killed in front of him, he realized taht whatever would destroy such good must be destroyed even if it meant his life. Not out of despair but to protect the good that still exists in the world.

Trash

Same here

Me to

So much attention to the detail was paid to the audio in this title. Normally, most folks would say something like “ahead of its time” but I think when it comes to sound, modern movies have largely gone backwards.

fuck yes, never saw this before and i was sitting here thinking the same. never heard something simular, its sure is genius. the roar as well

Every time I see a comment like this it makes my day. I had no idea there were other ppl who enjoyed it as much as I did 20 years ago

tfre3927 i remember catching it on tv when i was 4 or 5 years old around christmas time, the only time i ever watched it, i wasnt able to do something else, i search for that cartoon for all my life and i wasnt able to find the name of it (im french canadians so its even harder to find the original name) I just found it ohhh the feeling my friends

Favourite film of all time, parent taped it one christmas and it's still as incredible

Well add me to the list...this was my Game of Thrones as a kid.

Indeed. I still have the old Tape VHS.

Same here for that film, dubbed in French. And RIP Jules Bass.

Same

Imagine the dazzle, when you realize that Flight of Dragons and Vincent are performed by the same person and you realize it only two generations after actually checking who the heck is this great singer ❤❤❤

It is not 40 years old. Checks dates, neverminded I am just old.

@@jaystrickland4151 it was made in 1982. Its older then I am and I'm 38. Maybe as I write this its about 40 more or less, but it wasn't far from it.

Me neither, that growling gurgle added to the voice of an evil asshole lol

"PUNY SCUM OF CAROLINUS! PREPARE TO DIE!"

I know this is an old comment but I would've loved for him to have more dialog

@@aislynndraconisart8427 Same here the voice is quite fitting.

“PUNY SCUM OF CAROLINUS! PREPARE TO DIE!”

I reckon it might be people upset it didn't keep going haha

Evil dragons down vote this ...

Puny scum of corelinus down vote this

Moe TheDestroyer Your comment sings my heart. Couldn't have said any of this any better.

Same

Scriffignano me too!!

The best part is that his voice actor also voiced Smergol.

Bryagh is probably one of the all time great dragons in fiction.

@@joncarroll2040 He might be even more evil than Smaug.

He’s everything Aithusa should have been in Merlin Season 5. “PUNY SCUM OF EMRYS! PREPARE TO DIE!”

I love the line, "still one last life of pain". Taken straight from the "living sword, the dying sword". This film is incredibly deep.

@@geelee1977 woah there's a film about that? I didn't know that. I'm going to watch it ASAP. Sir neville's last words are to be always remembered.

@@Immortal_Hunter Not a film, it is an ancient philosophy. It essentially goes like so, the same sword that takes a life, gives a life. The same sword that has no mercy, can deliver mercy.

@@geelee1977 I see, yes I can see what you mean now. I got exited and didn't read it properly. 🤭

@@Immortal_Hunter no worries buddy, I can't blame you for getting excited, I would too!

Black Arrow You've never failed me, And I've always recovered you, I had you from my father and he from if old, If ever you've come from the forges of the true king under the mountain, go now and speed well!

@@ericdunn7352 Finest prayer of any archer🎯

Wasn't that from the original book though?

@@OriginalAkivara Yes

She needed some +5 arrows for that.

This is exactly correct. The ego of bryagh defeated himself

Mad respect for Danielle. Girl tried to one-shot him straight in the eye.

​@@ashvillescorner9931 He wanted to make him hurt after their last fight but that sadism ended up killing him.

The most badass way to kill a Dragon Forcibly igniting him like a Roman Candle

bartsimpson83 Because the kids aren't given dark, intelligent, badass drama. They're given ADHD bullshit with crocodile tears posing as real feelings, with silly mascot characters. I'm ADHD and even I find programs aimed at the ADHD generation to be thoughtless and empty.

Puny scum of Carolinus! Prepare to die! is one of the most fucking badass villain lines ever put to film... and Bryagh is right too, they are puny to him, even Sir Orin only wins because Bryagh toyed with him with his fire instead of smashing him like he did to Arag.

He has four: "May the rocks crush your skull!" "Puny scum of Carolinus! Prepare to die!" "I'll crush you BOTH, you filthy, crawly-!" "Praying? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! Now, *DIE*."

How were they so fragile the elf getting kicked and the wolf thrown

Well if you get a ring of elemental immunity, and multiple magic items to boost your strength and endurance you can take one.

@@williethenerfherder2193 I think that that might fall under "a tabletop game". : )

@@Eldeecue Carl Gustf recoilless "rifle" would take out anything. So would 12mm machine-gun (you'll need to mount it on a truck though to be able to catch dragon with it). Without somewhat modern weapons like these though... Makes me wonder would technological civilization be even able to arise on the world where intelligent superpredator like a dragon could exist... (quite easy to imagine a planet with a bit less surface gravity or much more dense atmosphere)

@@skipperg4436 Well, if humans had access to guns....dragons would probably go extinct very quickly.

@@skipperg4436 Percy De Rolo: Let me introduce it to some Bad News.

im too protective to support that decision (as cool as it would be). I want it to stay hidden among the youth who enjoyed this as children. Its more magical that way.

@@magistar2243 yeah, as much as I want this movie to be hyper-realistic, I also don't want it to be ruined just for money and never put any love into this awesome cartoon film.

WHAT! Hell no man, look at all the F-up's Hollywood has been doing for the past 5 yr's! So i say "NO!"

lol

lol

so EPIC!

They win, even in the face of a TPK?

Then the warrior brings his Vorple Blade.

That's so awesome ! Get your hands on a copy champ - you'll be surprised how much you'll remember. Remember the first scene with the goose and the watermill ?

I"ll definitely have to watch it again, because I vaguely do ;) Christmass time sounds perfect for it! Cheers to fantasy! ps thanks bro for this lovely upload :))

yeah, but your version is better.

Gen Scinmore I thought the same

I would love to read the book!

Yeah, pretty much a TPK.

How were they so fragile the elf getting kicked and the wolf thrown etc

I liked the elf guy when I was a kid. I don't know why. ;)

Jonathan Hernandez just an old english wolf.

Epic his debut when he took out the Sand Murk queen

It's on Amazon! :D

tfre3927 He was also the unfailing nice guy, polite, intelligent, with a fantastic attitude. You don't see characters like that very often.

Personally I like to take it literally, 'cause that means he was badass enough to stand tall while burning to death.

FuzzyZergling it takes more then dragonfire to stop a paladin

i love you

The fire was necessary for him to actually kill the dragon though. If he didn't light his sword on fire with dragon-fire, it wouldn't have pierced his skin or caught his insides on fire.

Well said

RIP John Ritter.

You also have to take into account that Bryagh and Ommadon were bonded. Perhaps even Bryagh was hatched by Ommadon. The movie never really goes into detail about the deep magic of the realm, but it could by hypothosized that your magical influence over a dragon can increase over time. Ommadon only controlled the masses of dragons for a short few day/weeks. He had Bryagh for 12+ years and thats only a fraction of the true amount of time because Bryagh was an egg stealing adult when Sir Orrin recounted his tale of fighting the evil dragon and almost killing him.

😂me too

Impossible to mistake that even when I first saw this as a little kid. Seriously, JEJ was like THE BAD GUY VOICE for ages. Star Wars, Conan, and then this.

Also Mufasa in Lion king

I'd be down for live action.

How about Jeremy Irons for Orin?

@@truthhurts1884 I vote for Benedict Cumberpatch. He's got the right look of veteran but still capable.

My inner child would have me crying a lot in the movie.

No.

Ah - sure? Miranda Otto, based on her DOB she'd be 15 here - but it's not on her wikipedia resume ?

@@tfre3927 Nellie Bellflower was Eowyn in the Rankin-Bass animated Return of the King, and appears here as Danielle.

James Earl Jones is 3 for 3 with his villains!

Just a friendly reminder have you watched flight of dragons this year? _I'm doing my part :D

Because its so good.

Agreed

The force would break any nomal humans body

I would venture that he grabbed them all as hard as he could and threw them as hard as he could. I imagine it would be akin to slamming into a solid brick wall at 30+ mph.

He crushes them with his grip and then throws them down to the ground

But I'll only watch it if it's made by Peter Jackson and Weta Digital 🤩

@@haillobster7154 John Rhys Davies has to voice Aragh though. :)

@@haillobster7154 Why, his hobbit movies were horseshit.

He cast Bless Weapon. :)
