While I try not to pre-judge anything before I've seen it, the fact that the studio let Delgo sit on the shelf for over 4 years isn't a good sign. I wonder what made them decide to release it now?

You know what the people remind me of? The Gelflings in dark Crystal, with the snout-faces and wings.
Did this really have ot be CGI? really?

I'm sorry, but the animation in this movie, judging from the ads, looks like it should be going direct to DVD. Not theaters. Not to mention the character designs are pretty hideous.
It was stated early in the thread that no one would distribute the film in the U.S. until now (confirmed in reviews) though it's been finished for a while. People should take this under consideration instead of just complaining about how inferior the animation looks.
I wonder if a similar problem (lack of distributor) exists with getting the French CGI fillm Dragon Hunters released here, too?

I saw it today. It was not as bad as the dismal reviews would have us believe. Don't expect Pixar-level animation, but it's not bad.
Good points: The fantasy world in which the film takes place is imaginatively design, with hordes of truly bizarre critters. The voice cast is very good, playing it straight when it needs to be straight, and letting some nice bits of character humor to slip in to break the tension. The action scenes are well done. The moral to the story does slop over into preachiness. The film does not talk down to its audience; without being overly graphic, there are some implications of harsh violence.
Bad points: The story is very familiar and a little cliched, two nations with a tense stalemate that is breaking down from prejudice on both sides, with a little help from evil opportunists. If you've seen the DTV Dragons: Fire and Ice, this film is almost a remake of that one. Most of the characters are pretty transparent and one-dimensional (with the exception of one heroic character who ruins his career with a gambling problem -- that was something you don't often see in a kids' film). The animation is inconsistent; well-done in some places, choppy in other.
I would recommend this film with the caution that you will not be watching a classic. Just an ambitious effort that occasionally succeeds and entertains.
