Dragon Half...
Way back in the misty dawn of time, I picked up the VHS version of Dragon Half...
Dragon Half is a classic spoof of knights versus dragons and is very funny and fast-paced. There's a nice mix of traditional and super-deformed animation, but, be prepared to read fast, if you're watching the subtitled version as the dialogue flies by fast and furious. I've always had a soft spot for dragons, so, of course, Dragon Half had to come home with me. I used to have the subtitled VHS version. Eventually I did repurchase Dragon Half on DVD. I gave Dragon Half a 4 out of 5. A notable quirk of this title is Mink's rendition of the ending theme set to Beethoven...
Knights and Dragons are mortal enemies, right? And everyone knows what happens when a Knight meets a Dragon, right? Wrong! When a Knight and a Dragon meet and fall in love, the result is Mink, a precocious young female who's half human, half dragon and all trouble! Exactly how much trouble? Well, in consideration of the fact that having vestigial wings and a tail isn't a problem most teenage girls have to bear, one can perhaps cut our heroine a little slack, but when Mink insists on compounding her difficulties to infinite proportions by falling in love with handsome pop star and professional dragon slayer Dick Saucer, she really has put her heart before her head! Talk about problem dates! Will this turn out to be a love story where the hero really does get the girl... on the end of his sword? It's goofy, it's romantic, it's violent, and it's undeniably one of the strangest comedies ever animated. If your taste in love runs to the extremely weird, or if you just have a thing about girls who breathe fire, check out Dragon Half!
Absurd, screwball comedy runs rampant when cute little Mink decides to introduce herself to her ideal Prince Charming. The only problem is that Mink is half dragon while her dreamboat beau is a champion dragon slayer. Can love prevail when the beauty is also the beast?
