Bröderna Lejonhjärta

Shows how little convincing special effects matter in a fantasy when story and characters really work. Sure it's a little hokey but it really got to me as a child despite being predisposed to hate it for reasons not worth mentioning.

ger; [Die Brüder Löwenherz]; zwei brüder treffen sich nacht dem tod in der welt "nangilama" wieder und müssen den bösen tyrann tengil besiegen - der hat aber den drachen katla.; (besser das buch lesen);

Yes, it's corny as hell and the special effects are cringeworthy, but it's got good actors and packs a huge emotional punc h.

I hadn't seen this since childhood and even though I didn't remember much of the plot, specific scenes felt very familiar. It's a sad movie and handles death in a way that would not be done today. The FX and production values are obviously not on LOTR level, but it has nice cinematography and utilizes the locations to great effect. The bond between the brothers is still the emotional core of the film, and all in all I thought the film still works well.
