Excellent, Without a doubt!!

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

After a failed raid on an Odaku camp which resulted in the deaths of their dragons, the two heroes from the first movie have to team up with an Odaku resistance leader, Gorhagar, in order to defeat the evil witch, Scylla, who is planing an invasion with the aid of two Shadow Dragons and an army of Odaku warriors with invincible armors.Meanwhile, Aroara and Targon returned as Light Dragons to fight the Shadow Dragons.My comments: The dragons had little role in this movie compared to Dragons:Fire and Ice. King Thoron's two elderly dragon advisors are really pathetic. And I really hate it when both Aroara and Targon died in this movie.

I recommend this film as a must see for all ages. As children we found many interesting animated films that peaked our imagination, but as adults it is not that simple. I usually find one disappointment or another in animated works today. Many times I have left my children watching the film and gone off to do work or watch something else in the bedroom, but the story and characters in this film had me watching the whole movie and ready to watch again since my children liked it so much they will want to watch it again today after school. Watching this film made me remember the fun I had reading Dragon Rides of Pern and many of the Dragon Lance novels. Now I simple MUST find a DVD of the first film in this series and wait for the third :(Hats off to the makers of this film. I did not recognize any of the names, but I will certainly look to see if they have anymore titles out and if they are as great as this one is.
