Dungeons and Dragons movies have had a history of being far below par, even when measured against 
grade-B standards. That is why I am excited, but with trepidation, for the first Dragonlance movie to be released, “Dragons of Autumn Twilight.”
The movie is going to be animated, and by the look of the screen-caps on the official site, I am unable to discern what the actual quality of the animation will be – it looks to be a mix of traditional drawing and CGI. At first, I was disappointed, but given all of the popular new movies that follow that same vein (Shrek, Monster House, etc.), it seems that medium will not be a terrible choice for a fantasy story.
A PG-13 rating is pending for the film that is due in, you guessed it, autumn of 2007. Additionally, the voice of Raistlin will be Kiefer Sutherland, an excellent pick, in my opinion. I can’t imagine that a big name like that would lend itself to a movie with little hope of success.
Dust off that Dragonlance novel and re-read it again before you go and see the flick, and if you want more information you can find it at the official site: http://www.dragonlance-movie.com/
