Dragon Hill: Difference between revisions

Line 2:

''Dragon Hill'' (original name ''La Colina del Dragón'') is a spanish direct-to-video (at least outside of Spain) movie directed by ''Ángel Izquierdo'', who has this as his master piece apparently.

This animated movie is quite, um, [[Mind Screw|"confusing"]], as the plot suggests the movie is somehere in the middle of some series, even though it is (at least as far as it is known) the "beginning", so to speak. To summarize the plot, there's an [[Lost World|isolated place]] called [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|Dragon Hill]] that is the home for [[Instant Awesome Just Add Dragons|dragons]] (duh!). There is a woman called Maude who tries to make them technologically advanced, and a wizard called Septimus who was inprisoned there and that wants to escape; to do so he somehow makes a boy called Kevin, who wants to be a knight, to end up in Dragon Hill too. It gets confusing from here, {{spoiler|specially when we learn that dragons were formerly technologically advanced and the only way to get out of Dragon Hill is via a supercomputer}}. Kevin apparently stays in Dragon Hill, not missing his former life in the castle at all.

There is a sequel, known as ''El Cubo Mágico''. With repetitive animation (often re-used from the former movie), [[Aesop Amnesia]], {{spoiler|a truly weird scene that classifies as [[Mind Screw]], [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment]] and [[Deranged Animation]]}} and an [[Ass Pull]] ending, [[Sarcasm Mode|it is quite well made]]

Line 19:

* [[Genie in A Bottle]]: The second movie has one, who uses simple animation used again and again.

* [[Mind Screw]]: Aside from the occasional [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment]], the plot, specially that of the first movie, will make the viewers more confused than anything.

* {{spoiler|[[Schizo Tech]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[Schizo-Tech]]}}

* [[Sealed Evil in A Can]]: Septimus in the first movie, the Magic Cube in the later.

* [[Shout Out]]: The animation resembles Universal's last known animated movies (aka [[Don Bluth|Land Before Time]] and [[Balto (Animation)|Balto]] sequels); in fact, at least in Portugal it was distributed by Universal Pictures (don't ask why)

** The scenes in the credits also resemble those of [[Brother Bear]]. Even if this movie came first, of course.

* [[The Stinger]]: The first movie has a series of funny "bloopers" during the credits; see above.
