The decision to do the dragons as CGI was probably a good one, considering the scale and complexity and the number required. However, carrying that decision over to the dracoscions was very ill-advised.
They could at least have cell-animated them when they were disguised as monks. LOOK OUT THOSE GUYS HAVE CGI ROBES ON!
I like that Sturm was acting his little heart out - omg guys I'm on -9 and if I don't make this stabilization check I'm like totally dead urk urk my father's sword - and Goldmoon was just like "Cure light wounds, or whatever" and he was all "Well thanks I guess," cause he wasted his big death scene.
Its a worse version of a cross between Ulysses 31 and Bashki's LOTR animation. Tanis even looks like Ulysses! And the dialogue is dire-logue, all - words - pro-nounc-ed so- properly with-full-enunciation. Just as seems to happen whenever Americans try to speak 'english' or write in 'fantasy language'. I don't remember the dialogue being that bad in the books but then I may have done what I sometimes do and rewrite the dialogue in my head :)
