The Flight of Dragons	comment	The Flight of Dragons is a Rankin/Bass Productions and Topcraft animated film, produced in 1982, but not aired until 1986. It is loosely adapted from Gordon R. Dickson's fantasy novel The Dragon and the George. However, it replaces the main character with Peter Dickinson, the real-life author who wrote The Flight of Dragons, an art book that proposes scientific reasons for the prior existence of dragons. Got all that?The film is a Heroic Fantasy tale in which a twentieth-century "man of science", named Peter Dickinson, travels to the world of magic to defeat Ommadon, an evil wizard who intends to take advantage of the fact that humans are choosing science over magic to seed evil throughout the world. Due to an accident, Peter ends up Sharing a Body with a dragon and he thus has to learn about how Our Dragons Are Different in order to survive. In the end, it turns out that the Powers That Be selected Peter because they needed someone who wouldn't clap his hands if he believed.The film features a remarkably effective voice cast: John Ritter is highly sympathetic as Peter, Harry Morgan amusingly eccentric as Carolinus, Victor Buono (in his last role before his untimely death) convincingly growly as Aragh, James Gregory surprisingly lovable as the elderly dragon Smrgol (while also being chillingly menacing as the evil dragon Bryagh) — and James Earl Jones sonorous and magisterially evil as the Red Wizard Ommadon.

The former is a wicked and power hungry sorcerer who plans to destroy humanity by turning men against each other and condemning the ones who refuses to listen to him to a Fate Worse than Death and it's shown he's also willing to kill his own brothers should they interfere. The latter is a vicious and psychopathic dragon who simply kills for the joy of it and apparently he's loyal to his master just because he allows him to do it anytime he feels like.

The Flight of Dragons / int_7315fd38	comment	Covers Always Lie: The 2000s home video cover◊ makes the film look like a happy romping adventure, when it's actually a quite dark, violent and dramatic story. Carolinus's robes are also changed to purple to make him more visually distinct from Gorbash (who rather looks like Smrgol, but green, or is it just him?). The UK cover◊ is closer to the film's tone, though the art style is more realistic than the film, and Sir Orrin fights a green dragon in Ommadon's kingdom, which he never does in the film (or is Bryagh recolored in green somehow?).

Once Peter realises that it's impossible for any two things to occupy the same space, he unmerges from Gorbash. When Ommadon tries to move the sun, he fails because as Peter tells him, he's reaching for where the sun had been instead of where it is. He erases the red wizard by proving to him that something as horrible as him cannot possibly exist.

The relieved Innkeeper asks if they have it with them, only to be told that he will be paid eventually and lamenting that his father told him never to extend credit to a dragon. Becomes harsher in hindsight when the Ogre of Gormley Keep destroys the inn to kidnap the party, "paying" the Innkeeper for offering the heroes hospitality by killing him.

This is most of what is taken from the film's namesake, The Flight of Dragons by Peter Dickinson. In it, the author hypothesizes that dragons evolved from dinosaurs, survived extinction by pure luck, and evolved to fly and breathe fire using the aforementioned gas.

Therefore, if Ommadon tries to pull the sun down, he will be reaching towards the part of the sky it occupied eight minutes ago, not where it is now.
