SaraSeantae The reviews for Dragon Hunters are glowing, but I found it to be literally one of the worst movies I have ever seen (and probably the worst animated film I've seen).The thing reviewers seem to go on about the most is the animation, writing and writing about how beautiful and breathtaking it is and how it gives Pixar a run for the money. I disagree so strongly! The animation of the setting is mildly interesting, but more in idea than actual visual stimulation and lacks a lot of detail. The characters are anatomically clunky and their movements don't even seem natural to that clunky design - they just flat out don't work for me. All in all, I would say that visually this movie looks more like a draft...it lacks so much that it seems entirely unfinished.The voice acting is mediocre at best and utterly fails to emote, but that isn't even my biggest beef with it! The voices themselves are so grating and obnoxious that they go beyond being caricatures, as animated characters are expected to be, and simply irritate. Speaking of "character" and "emoting"......the story itself lacks any substance at all! Yes, the bare bones idea is a bit cliché, but that doesn't really matter. It's all about the meat you put on those bones, after all, and unfortunately this meat is lean, stringy, and crude. There is no real...anything here. No true journey. No character development. It's an as of yet unformed idea that tries to parade as fully formed, and I hate it for that.Honestly, I feel angry that I watched this movie. Disgusted. Writing this review civilly took a lot of self-control. If I could have given Dragon Hunters no stars I sure would have (and that's still more than it deserves).

rannynm Looking for a great hunting story to enjoy? Well then this animated film is for you. This animated film is about a vastly changed world made up of many floating islands, where the two main rules are: eat and don't get eaten. These islands are infested with mutant dragons, which is where the two main characters come in: Gwizdo (Rob Pausen) and Lian-Chu (Forest Whitaker), who are dragon hunters. When these two meet a little girl named Zoe (Mary Matilyn Mouser), she takes them to her rich uncle, Lord Arnold, who sends them on a mission to kill the World Eater, a horrifying dragon that returns every 30 years and wreaks terror and destruction. This dragon hunt sends Zoe, Gwizdo and Lian-Chu and a great adventure. Will they be able to kill the mighty dragon once and for all before it's too late? You will just have to watch and find out. My favorite character is Hector, the small blue dog-like pet of Gwizdo and Lian-Chu. I like Hector because he is an adorable little creature and he was so unbelievably hilarious. My favorite scene is the scene when Gwizdo starts going insane. I like this scene because it is so funny and hilarious how he freaks Hector and Zoe out. The animation in this film is very well done. For example, the various dragons are very cool and realistic, as are the different characters in this film. The action sequences are thrilling, thanks to the excellent CGI effects. The voice over work is excellent and the different personalities, really come through from the different voices. This animated film has an excellent storyline, is well written and I know everyone will enjoy this entertaining film as much as I. I rate this film 5 out of 5 stars because it is very enjoyable, fantastic, and entertaining. I think this film is for ages 6 and up because I know that the younger children might become very afraid in some of the action sequences, but other kids will enjoy the story and the action packed adventure that the three main characters go on.

Rectangular_businessman "Dragon Hunters" was an entertaining movie.Even if this is anything extraordinary or a life-changing experience, it is still a highly enjoyable adventure film with likable characters and a funny plot.The animation is pretty good, with impressive and imaginative sceneries, not to mention the stylish character design. There is some notorious influence from Pixar in what concerns to the main aesthetic principle used in the characters, but the overall result is pretty good. Even in the parts where the story seems to follow a predictable pattern, the visual originality of the scenes makes this interesting and worth watching.This is a good movie, being highly recommendable for the family viewing.

TheLittleSongbird I have been a big fan of animation for as long as I can remember. Dragon Hunters is not among the best I've seen, that said I have seen much worse. The film does have a lot of cuteness and charm particularly in the animation, characters and voice work. The story though is very simplistic and never really seems to rise above average, the characters do have personality but not development and the script has some fun and poignant moments but some of the comedic elements could've done with being more focused. However, the voice acting is solid across the board and the music compliments the film very well. The best asset is the animation, which is simply gorgeous, especially in the backgrounds where attention to detail is clearly evident and the colours are plentiful. One or two of the character designs are on the blocky side, but most are fine. In conclusion, nothing particularly special but it is cute and the visuals really make it work. 6.5/10 Bethany Cox
