During the airing of "Prophet's Motive" this morning, Jetix ran a promo for a movie they're going to air next Saturday called "Dragons: Fire & Ice." I never heard of this one, so I looked it up on net and found that it was a direct video movie released about a year ago. It's another all CGI feature (though a totally different visual style from Dragon
Booster) and was also made up in Canada. I found a decent write-up about it here:

DVD Review of Dragons: Fire & Ice

The movie also has a lot of positive comments about it on amazon.com. I was wondering if any other dragon fans here had seen this and had anything to say about it one way or the other.

Thanks.

Oh, yeah, I've seen it. :) Definitely worth the fact. The main antagonist is named Xenos or Xenox or Xenoz, can't remember what his name was, and is voiced by Mark Oliver (and surprisingly, there seems to be a few similarities between Xenoz and Word :P). Another voice actor from the Dragon Booster voice cast that is also in this thing is Richard Newman, who plays Thoron, the king of the dragons or something like that. It's not bad, though there are a number of heavy cliches, but whatever. :)

WOW

Mark Oliver is the original voice of Word Paynn?

What's the story, Skylii?

It says the first parts on the link Furox provided, but basically two heirs of two kingdoms become Chosen by the dragon king Thoron, but they don't know this yet. Xenoz on the first part plays good guy and then later in the story plays bad guy, and these two heirs have to master their powers to help the dragons come back to their land, because there's only, like, what, three left in the land they live in. It's pretty cool, and there are several similarities between Dragon Booster and Dragons: Fire and Ice (now of course that's no surprise, since almost every dragon fandom uses the same tactics and whatnots :rolleyes:).

Thanks, Skylii. The promo looked decent and I was hoping someone else here had seen it. I should be able to find this movie at the rental store, so I'll put it on my list of movies to watch. Thanks for the input!

I just saw an ad for a sequel they made for "Dragons: Fire & Ice" called "Dragons: Metal Ages". It was released on Oct 25th (direct video release like the first). If they made a sequel, the first one must have sold pretty well. Hopefully, this bodes well for these movies. Just thought I'd pass that along. I'm going to try and rent these before too long myself.

I finally got around to renting this movie. Given that it was basically made to help promote the Mega Bloks toys, it's not bad. The good news is that it's not a blatant toy commercial. The down side is that the dragons don't do enough in my opinion and the visuals are weak. It was only made a year ago, but the CGI is very basic. They must have had a very slim budget since the character models aren't very articulated and the animation looks very robotic. There's also not much in the way of surface textures and the environment is down right barren. There are no trees or vegetation anywhere. They apparently didn't have the budget or time to design all that or render it. There are some pretty cool looking ice dragons though.

Overall, I'd say a dragon fan would probably enjoy renting it once. There's not enough there to warrant repeat viewings, so I wouldn't buy it. It's not a movie to get excited about, but I felt it was worth renting. It was fun enough that I think I'll also rent the sequel some time. Maybe the dragons will do more in that one. :)

I always meant to watch that each time I saw it on Toon Disney and Cartoon Network, but I kept forgetting when it was on :lol:

I happen to own Dragons: Fire and Ice. I loved that movie! When I realised that Xenoz's voice was also Word Paynn's voice i was like "woah!". They are very similar. The dragons are cool looking and the Ice dragons are cool too. I like it when Thoron breath's fire because it rules! Thoron in Metal Ages breaths fire into rune shapes.

I also found that Thoron in Metal Ages talks through his mouth and not through Kyra and Dev's minds like in Fire and Ice.

Anyways GREAT MOVIES! ROAAAAAAR!
