I have a friend who is convinced this is just utter trash.
Your friend is a tasteless faggot.

This is easily one of the best fantasy films ever made

Slow, boring, everybody whispers, everything is girly, no relateable characters, most faggoty wizard ever

It's an excellent film. Rankin Bass may be my favorite animation studio ever especially when it comes to their output of fantasy such as this, the Hobbit, Flight of Dragons and Thundercats.
It's got one bad song but the rest is pure kino.

Worth mentioning those films and this one were all animated by Topcraft, which was the precursor to Studio Ghibli. Rankin/Bass were the producers.

Yes I've heard that, the style in their character design has a lineage that can be traced all the way back to their stop motion work on Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. It's particularly noticeable in the way they do mouths. Though Studio Ghibli was already around by the time Silverhawks (which clearly uses that same art style) aired. which members of Topcraft are part of Ghibli?
>>80362546
wait, there was a silverhawk feature?
I loved topcraft animation, the art director was Hidemi Kubo, I wonder what he is up to these days.
>>80362854
no I don't think there was a feature length Silverhawks, I don't know why the filename is called that. This Hidemi Kubo also did the designed for the Hobbit etc?
>>80362546
I only know Silverhawks becauseit was used in one of my favorite AMVs

ha, Lazerhawk. Yes I'm familiar with them but I'd highly recommend you check out the show Silverhawks because it's pretty good like a more sci-fi focused Thundercats though yes I know Thundercats had sci-fi elements.
