Dragon

About This Movie

So, 'Dragon' from 1991, it's an interesting piece. The animation style feels very much of its time, almost a blend of surreal and whimsical. The pacing is quite brisk, given that it's a short segment rather than a full narrative. It operates more as a visual statement than a story, which is kind of what you'd expect from an MTV ident, right? There's a certain dreamlike quality to the visuals that really stands out. The practical effects, especially in the animation techniques used, are worth noting; they provide a tactile feel that contrasts with more polished contemporary works. It’s a slice of early '90s animation culture that captures that eclectic MTV vibe, and while it may not stand out in a crowded genre, it has its own charm for sure.
