Films I still want on DVD: Part 1 - Flight of Dragons
Did anyone else see this animated film from the eighties? The best I’ve found is an NTSC VHS release, but given I don’t have a VHS player I don’t think it’s worth picking up!
I have no doubt that nostalgia is getting the better of me with Flight of Dragons, but I’d really like to pick up a decent DVD release of this even if it’s just to satisfy my urge to revisit the films of my childhood. Much in the same way I’d kill to get an English language DVD release of The Mysterious Cities of Gold or a widescreen DVD of Le Maitres du Temp.
Come on Warner, it may not be a classic, but even so I’m sure those of us that grew up in the 1980’s would love to pick this one up for old-time’s sake.
“Flight of Dragons, soar in the purple light”…Man I still remember the song. And it was done by Don McLean!
I love this movie too. I first saw it years ago when SKY TV first came out. I can’t believe it still isn’t out on DVD. Good ol’ Rankin/Bass classic with some nice voice work from John Ritter and James Earl Jones. Really want to see it agin now
