Animated Film Gets Oscar Look

Hollywood - One of the 14 films submitted to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for the three nominations in the best animation feature category, Dragon Hunters will make its one-week qualifying run starting today at Laemmle’s Grande 4-Plex Theatre in Downtown, Los Angeles.

Set in a mystical kingdom of non-firma terra (“things fall apart; the center cannot hold”) a dragon so big and powerful and with such ferocious eyes that to gaze upon can drive a warrior blind or mad (“a vast image out of Spritus Mundi troubles my sight”), is about to rise from its long sleep and wreak havoc on the dark world (“And what rough beast, its hour come round at last”).

Okay, putting aside the near-fetched allusions – and there are others (“Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds”; “were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle”) — to William Yeats’ “The Second Coming” (the greatest poem by a vastly overrated and politically reactionary poet) filmmakers Guillaume Ivernel and Arthur Qwak’s Dragon Hunters follows the tale of a wandering and wondering girl who reads lots of fairy tales, Zoe (voice by Mary Mouser), and her band of misfits who have taken it upon themselves to save the day. (In fact nobody else notices any threat from the dragon accept those immediately involved in Zoe’s adventure.)
