* This movie takes place in Early Medieval Britain few years after The Roman Empire fell, why we didn't see any Roman Architecture (The Temples, Aqueducts etc.) the romans built when Britain is under Roman rule before its fall throughout the film's landscape?

** Arthurian legend takes place roughly 200 years after the fall of Rome, and the Romans had been driven from Britannia a century before that.

** The other dragons aren't unintelligent, persay. It's made clear that they're hostile towards humans and that they won't allow Devon and Cornwall back for assisting them, they don't get any characterization beyond violent beasts because they have no reason to be anything but violent towards a race they clearly hate.

** Another possibility is that things were restored/turned to how they were SAW themselves to be. Devon and Cornwall saw themselves as two separate entities, Arthur, Kayley, and the others saw Camelot as the idyllic beautiful place it was before, etc. But Garrett had long since accepted his blindness, saw it as an intrinsic part of himself, and embraced it (look at the lyrics to "I Stand Alone"). He wasn't healed because his blindness IS him

** This troper always thought that the reason Garrett stayed blind is either because there's nothing ''wrong'' with being blind (thus there's nothing to fix) or, as happened to the dragons, he ''could'' have been healed but chose not to, having grown used to being blind. The guy has DisabilitySuperpower up the wazoo: it's not like he ''needs'' to be healed to function.

** It seems psychological - because they could never agree with each other, they both wanted full control over the one body - they didn't want to share. So in the end neither had enough control to use fire or flight effectively.

** In the circumstances I think it's a cross - it's a magical forbidden forest and you CAN say that a Wizard did it - sometimes it's stupid, but this time it's okay - but honestly, Kayley really should have been more reactive to its wonders if she's never been in there. Not just "Oh, another flying flower."

* I know that this was part of a song sung during a DisneyAcidSequence, but part of Devon's lines in "If I Didn't Have You" is a claim that, without Cornwall, he'd be "the star of Camelot" as an actor or what-have-you. But, Cornwall or no Cornwall, he's still a dragon isn't he? How could he even get a chance to perform in Camelot without people screaming and running at the sight of him?

** Devon and Cornwall aren't nearly as large or aggressive as the other dragons in QFC so an acting career might work for him. Kaley wasn't scared of them after a the initial OMG DRAGONS RUN! moment after all. More likely, Devon was just overstating Cornwall's detriment on his own appeal though.

** What puzzles me is why this bothers so many people so much. Is it solely because it wasn't explained? Aside from AWizardDidIt, it seems to me that magic is part and parcel with the Arthurian canon--hello, Merlin is actually ''in'' the movie ([[InformedAbility not that he ever does anything magical]])! So it doesn't seem surprising to me that the forest would have so many magical things in it. Presumably having lived there as long as he has, Garret is used to it all and so feels no need to comment on it. Kayley may either be aware the forest is magical (as the troper above pointed out, that's likely why it is forbidden), is aware of magic in general due to things like Excalibur and Merlin, or was told off-screen by Garret. Ruber being able to get a potion from witches falls under that too. (And it's not like witches [[Theatre/{{Macbeth}} are exactly unknown in British literature]].)

** If you look closely, Ruber drops some of the potion on Bladebeak's throat (or perhaps makes him drink some of it) before dropping him in with the ax. Immediately after getting those drops of potion, Bladebeak seems to become more articulate. Putting two and two together, it seems that Ruber thought ahead and used the potion to give Bladebeak the ability to talk with the voice of Jaleel White.

Added DiffLines:

*** This troper always assumed that the blindness wasn't healed because everyone else that was healed had been put that way to to a magical/unnatural incident (magic potion, Griffin attack) and that the dragons, being dragons, were influenced by magic anyway. The blindness was caused by natural means, meaning that the magic did nothing to undo it.
