An animated feature, Flight of Dragons follows Peter, an inventor/scientist in the real world, who invents a Dungeons and Dragons type game and is magically transported into that world. On his trip he meets a magician, dragons (not surprisingly), ogres, giants and the Princess Melisande (he likes her, she likes him, it's all so romantic) and the evil Ommadon (James Earl Jones).
The story goes like this, magic is weakening, the real world no longer believes and in a bid to preserve this culture, the good wizard and his wizardy mates decide to create a 'last realm of magic'. Problem being that the dark wizard doesn't much fancy being a minority and decides to conquer all of creation, that means the real world of science too. Good Wiz-Carolinus figures he needs some help and enlists Peter to go and kick the bad Wiz's bum, along with a young and old dragon and a knight.
Knights errant, magic, invention, creatures, princesses, a flight of dragons...all the things that you'd like in a kids animated classic.
Fun Fact: Music by Don McLean- American Pie.
