And not just in its themes, which are certainly brutal in places. There is a feeling of desolation found both here and in a few other films of that time, partly evoked by those extremely atmospheric barren rockscapes beneath grey skies also seen in stuff like Excalibur, Zardoz, Krull and even Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I don't know, there's something very primitive and foreboding about these locations; something I can't quite express but which certainly involves mystery and beauty along with the solemnity. It was awesome to feel such a range of things while watching a Disney film, which is also a film that doesn't spoonfeed its audience or to my mind dumb-down its narrative in any way.

This is a very underrated film, quite dark for a Disney film of its time. It is a far better dragon movie than recent fare such as Reign of Fire. I'm glad to have company in my appreciation for this film!

I agree, very under rated movie and I applaud them for doing something different.

Just seen it in 4K UHD Dolby vision: reply very good looking and wonderful atmos sound with very good basses for a film of this age. Also better than a lot of other dragon movies !

I remember seeing this back in the day & I thought that Peter MacNicol was HORRIBLY miscast as a hero.
