< Dragonslayer
Dragonslayer/YMMV
- Alas, Poor Villain: Even Ulrich feels sorry for Vermithrax.
- Crowning Moment of Awesome: The Wizard vs. Dragon battle.
- MacGuffin / Soul Jar: The amulet. Its destruction brings about that of Ulrich's.
- Most Wonderful Sound / Hell Is That Noise: A dragon inhaling...
- Old Shame: For whatever reason, Peter Mac Nicol does not list the film (his debut, no less) on his CV.
- Vindicated by Cable: Not a box-office hit on its release (mostly due to it being Disney's darkest and edgiest film ever, though being released two weeks after Raiders of the Lost Ark certainly didn't help), the film still became popular with fantasy buffs for its impressive sfx, deconstructive tropes, and effective acting.
- Visual Effects of Awesome: Vermithrax is the most realistic stop-motion animated creature ever, thanks to Industrial Light and Magic's new "Go Motion", which added subtle blur to the movement, removing the jerkiness most stop-motion animated visual effects had.
