Yes my friends, the longest hour and forty minutes of your life plus a few pointless drawings and some animation that we didn't end up using in the actual feature so you know it's got to be worth the price of the DVD.

*sob*

Why must you producers rape my childhood and then slap it on a DVD to mock me with? Why?

Should you wish to see what abomination they've gone with on the cover, click here. Raistlin looks like a spastic, Tanis looks like a greeter at a goddamn Renaissance Faire ("What ho, good pilgrim! Seekest thou fresh ale or a hearty peasant bread?"), and Goldmoon, much as she was in the books, is just kinda there.

At least it's coming out after Xmas so nobody can buy it for me as a gag gift and I won't be forced to then beat them to death with the nearest blunt object after I receive it. So I guess that's something.

Huh, more casting for the Dragonlance movie! and check it out:

Michael Rosenbaum .... Tanthalas 'Tanis' Half-Elven (voice)

Kiefer Sutherland .... Raistlin Majere (voice)

Lucy Lawless .... Goldmoon (voice)

Kiefer...oooh, yes he gives very good whispery voice. moonlightnrain pointed me there and commented that the writer actually wrote some of the more craptacular episodes of Xena...goodie. And holy crap is the official movie site suck-tastic! I mean wow, despite the fact that they've got some serious voice talent going on here, the rest of this project is looking like a train wreck of epic proportions.

They are going to fuck up my beloved Raistlin...damn them, damn them to hell!
