'''''Dragons: Fire & Ice''''' is a 2004 animated adventure film and the first of a two part series based on the Mega Bloks toyline. Fire & Ice aired on [[Cartoon Network]] and was released directly to DVD by [[Lionsgate|Lions Gate Home Entertainment]]. It is the story of two unlikely heroes, Prince Dev of the Norvagen and Princess Kyra of the Draigar. These two band together along with their dragons, Targon and Aroara, to help save the Dragon's World and their own world from evil.

 

 

 

* [[Affably Evil]]: {{spoiler|Xenos}}. While not obvious at first, many subtle hints are given up to [[The Reveal]].

* [[Artifact of Doom]]: The Aurothon has incredible power, so great in fact that only the Dragon King can wield its full power. {{spoiler|Or a 1,000 year old vengeful wizard of equal power}}.

* [[Back-to-Back Badasses]]: Dev and Kyra of course. Most notably after their duel when both their kingdoms' armies come to battle each other, the vorgans show up and they have to fight them off, ending up as the only human survivors left on the battlefield.

* [[Badass Boast]]: {{spoiler|Xenos gets one towards the end, which also doubles as a [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]}}.

* [[Badass Family]]: Four of the main characters are the two battle-hardened kings and their children.

* [[Badass Grandpa]]: While not technically grandparents yet, the two kings look old enough and fight well enough to fit this trope.

* [[Cosmic Keystone]]: The Aurothon is the master key to open the portal between the human and dragon worlds.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Kyra

* [[Dual-Wielding]]: After Dev cuts Kyra's staff in half during their duel, she proceeds to utilize Kali Stick fighting style.

* [[The Dragon]]: No matter what the title says, it's definitely not that kind of dragon. It's Gortaz, that head Vorgan that captures both the kings during the big battle after the duel.

* [[Establishing Character Moment]]: The introduction scenes of Dev and Kyra as children show their basic personalities as impulsive and over-thoughtful respectively.

* [[Evil Laugh]]: {{spoiler|Xenos}} gets a couple moments for this.

* [[Flynning]]: Justified in that it's a children's film, so having people exploit the oh-so-many obvious kill opportunities would be too grim for a young audience.

* [[Large Ham]]: Towards the end, Xenos takes [[Unusual Euphemism|a hike from atop his soapbox to an Olympian pedestal]].

* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: {{spoiler|Xenos, who had, for 1,000, years manipulated the human nations, tricking them into killing off each others dragons to near extinction}}.

* [[Power Tattoo]]: Quite literally, the markings over the protagonists' eyes glow to signify the powers that they hold.

* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: {{spoiler|Xenos as stated above. But quickly inverted by Thoron}}.

* [[Rebellious Princess]]: Kyra really wants to prove that she is the best fighter in her kingdom by facing Prince Dev one-on-one in a duel to end the war. Deep down though she really just wants the war to end so that the rest of the dragons will return to their world.

** {{spoiler|It ends up being useless, since the sequel doesn't feature Xenos at all. Though we do get to see Stendahl, the evil dragon Xenos consorted with in the past.}}

* [[She Fu]]: Kyra is train in more intricate and elegant forms of martial arts. During her duel with Dev she does lots of flips and whirling kicks.

* [[Take Over the World]]: {{spoiler|Xenos}} wants to do this to both the human and dragon worlds for {{spoiler|revenge against the dragons for granting him immortality but not eternal youth}}.

* [[Tempting Fate]]: After [[The Reveal]] {{spoiler|Thoron}} takes Dev and Kyra to {{spoiler|The Ring of Orobouros}} to train their mysterious powers in secret.

'''Kyra:''' Well, two out of 3 ain't bad. }}

* [[Waif Fu]]: Kyra is incredibly skinny compared to everyone else, though that may just be a result of the art style.

* [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?]]: {{spoiler|Xenos not only manipulated the two human nations into killing off each others dragons, but he used the bodies as food for his Vorgan allies.}}

* [[Who Wants to Live Forever?]]: Xenos is known to have been given immortality by the Dragons so that he may serve as ambassador between the two kingdoms and the dragons for all time. However, {{spoiler|it doesn't stop 1,000 years of aging}}.

'''Kyra:''' I'll challenge the prince myself. }}

* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: {{spoiler|Once Xenos gets the Aurothon, he smooths out his crushed fortress, leading to Gortaz sliding to the edge of a deep opening. He asks for Xenos' help but Xenos decides to step on his hand, sending him to his doom}}.

{{spoiler|'''Xenos:''' Gortaz. Thanks... For the hand. [stomp}}]
