Notes
Trivia: First film to use go-motion, a variant of stop-motion animation in which parts of the model (in this case, the dragon) were mechanized and the movement programmed by computer. During shooting, the computer moves the model while the camera is shooting, resulting in motion blur, which makes the animation more convincing. (more) Quotes:
[Addressing the dragon]
Brother Jacobus: Unclean beast! Get thee down! Be thou consumed by the fires that made thee!
