Does Anyone Remember Dragonheart - Hack The Movies (#479)

About this episode

The episode explores the legacy of the film Dragonheart and why it is not widely discussed today despite its groundbreaking CGI.

Dragonheart (1996) was one of the first films to feature a fully CGI character acting alongside real humans. Voiced by Sean Connery and brought to life by ILM, Draco was a groundbreaking creation. Yet despite this technical achievement and four sequels, the movie is rarely discussed today. Angela joins me to explore what stopped Dragonheart from becoming a true classic 30 years later. https://youtu.be/lubpME_YxbU https://rumble.com/v7adw5m-does-anyone-remember-dragonheart-hack-the-movies-479.html
