(For Monday) The Dragon Hunters - 2008

This muchly-unheard-about animated movie takes us to an incredible land where dragons are plentiful and feared and few people have much and many people have little. An orphan girl living with her rich, blind, former-warrior uncle in a castle dreams of being a dragon fighting knight.

One day, the little girl heads out in search of real warriors to fight the biggest and baddest dragon of all - and finds two unlikely heros: Lian-Chu and Gwizdo. They make up for in experience in talent with largeness and sneakiness. They agree to take on the task since the reward is too large for them to pass up. They have dreamed of owning their own place together as long as they have been friends. If they kill the biggest, baddest dragon, the rich uncle will reward them with enough funds to do that.

Just as they're leaving for their quest, they get a tag-along girl knight wanna-be. Will she hold them back or will she help them achieve their greatest dream? I never like giving the end away - so you'll need to watch and see for yourself - but here's a hint: cartoons rarely end badly. Unless you're watching Adult Swim or Itchy and Scratchy. :)
