Line #12 YMMV/TheFlightOfDragons


1	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Pretty much the whole soundtrack by Maury Laws, but particularly:
2	** The title track, sung by Music/DonMcLean. Yes, THAT [[Music/AmericanPie Don McLean]].
3	** Ommadon's {{leitmotif}} perfectly conveys his evilness.
4	** The triumphant music of Sir Orrin's first encounter with Bryagh is a great fit for his [[KnightInShiningArmor heroism]].
5	* CompleteMonster:
6	** [[SorcerousOverlord Ommadon the Red Wizard]], furious with his three brothers' decision to create the Last Realm of Magic, decides to see them die as his dark magic reigns. Ommadon eloquently describes his plan to [[TheCorrupter destroy humanity]], to infest them with greed and spite and make them turn against each other, driving humanity lower into their worst excesses until they all perish in nuclear war. Ommadon sends monsters and spells to destroy Carolinus's chosen heroes through madness, despair, and even the slaughter of the innocent, eventually opting to simply have his devil dragon Bryagh massacre them all with no relent. [[CardCarryingVillain Ommadon]] gleefully makes himself the host to the entirety of the world's evil to finally cow and destroy the scientist Peter Dickinson after all else who can stand against him have been slaughtered, believing that [[AGodAmI he himself is nothing less than the world]].
7	** [[DragonsAreDemonic Bryagh]] is [[TheDragon Ommadon's crimson steed]] and a bloodthirsty {{sadist}} in the skin of a dragon with a mind for violence. Bryagh cultivated a rivalry with Sir Orrin that lasts into the present day when Orrin came afoul of Bryagh [[EatsBabies devouring a nest full of the eggs]] of [[MonstrousCannibalism his own kind]], resurfacing years later to aid Ommadon in destroying humanity itself and even trying to spitefully drop Peter Dickinson to his death against Ommadon's orders. Bryagh relishes the prospect of having his legions "attack, demolish, devour, burn, and grind" his enemies, [[HeroKiller slaughtering the heroes]] one after another in the final battle and even pausing his assault solely to sadistically laugh in Orrin's face as he mourns [[spoiler:his fallen love Danielle]], [[spoiler:dying soon after in a MutualKill with the knight]].
8	* CultClassic: This film has gathered a dedicated following thanks to its surprisingly compelling story and excellent voice cast.
9	* GeniusBonus: If one listens closely, one can hear that the words of the song with which Sir Orrin is attempting to drown out the Sandmurks are those of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4FU8yz4BYY Sumer is icumen in]]" -- the oldest secular song preserved in English. (If you listen closely, you also notice that instead of using the Middle Ages melody, he matches his singing with Peter's to add to the effect against the Sandmurks. Sadly, it doesn't work.)
10	* MoralEventHorizon:
11	** Bryagh had crossed this before the plot even started, as Orrin ran afoul of him while he was quite literally [[EatsBabies eating babies]] (more specifically, [[IAmAHumanitarian dragon eggs]]).
12	** Ommadon crosses this when he orders Bryagh to slaughter all of the main protagonists, who succeeds with brutal efficiency.
13	* {{Narm}}:
14	** Sir Orrin's HeroicSacrifice would have had more pathos if he hadn't effectively narrated that it cost him his life at the time.
15	** Melisande's continual screaming is more annoying than either terrifying or piteous.
16	* SpiritualLicensee: Arguably, it's a better ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' movie than the actual ''Film/DungeonsAndDragons2000'' movie.
17	* StrangledByTheRedString: Sir Orrin and Danielle.
18	* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: The film is quite violent, with characters dying left and right. The vocabulary is also pretty advanced, with words like "antiquity" and "inevitable" thrown around, as well as various scientific concepts and studies name-dropped.
