It's like reading a fairy tale that has the mixture of happiness and trauma to set your imagination whirling; the fire-breathing dragon--scaly, winged, huge--is more mysterious, probably, than any we could have imagined for ourselves.
Director Robbins is a natural - he has managed to make a movie that is entertaining despite the handicap of having a main character who is at best a black hole. [30 June 1981]
A dark slice of sword and sorcery that could have used some of Walt's old storytelling sense. [13 July 1981, p.81]

Very good presentation. Above average execution. Some odd and unpleasant choices. Could have been much better and truer.

The visuals, music, and special effects are all strong, but they're wasted in a film that holds little to no substance. Even the final act wasn't worth the wait. I'll say this though, it is the darkest and bloodiest film I've seen with Disney being involved.
