Dragon Hunters (2008) 7/10

Starring : Mary Matilyn Mouser, Rob Paulsen, Forest Whitaker, John DiMaggio
Director : Guillaume Ivernel & Arthur Qwak
Running Time : 79 mins

Gwizdo (Paulsen) and Lian-Chu (Whitaker) are two sub-par dragon hunters ho use clever scams to try to make a living from their profession, but when they are called on to aid Lord Arnold, who is living in fear of the fabled World Eater, a monstrous dragon that returns to he kingdom every thirty season to wreak havoc, they find themselves faced with a very deadly foe. But when Lord Arnold decides they might not be the men for the job, his brave Grand Niece, Zoe (Mouser), takes it upon herself to hire the pair.

This was very much a poor man's Shrek without the animals and ogres. Instead we are given very human characters fighting very robotic-looking dragons in an action packed adventure that kids are sure to enjoy. The animation might be a little cheap (it looks a lot like the kind of animation used in Igor), but if you can look past that then you'll most likely find this quite enjoyable.
