Dragons Lair movie: Kickstarter campaign shows promise of a potential future film, based on the 1983 video game.
A Dragons Lair movie is potentially on the way if a Kickstarter campaign is successful
A Kickstarter campaign for a Dragons Lair movie has just been launched by the legendary animation guru Don Bluth. He and fellow animation legend Gary Goldman are collaborating on a sequel to the 1983 video game, owned by Digital Leisure, and are seeking $550,000 on the crowd-funding website to start their project.
Don Bluth and Gary Goldman are coming together once again to bring the classic arcade game Dragon’s Lair to the big screen. We are seeking your help to create a pitch to make Dragon’s Lair, the Movie through a Kickstarter crowd-funding campaign. Dragon’s Lair continues to be loved by millions around the world since 1983, and fans have been waiting patiently to see Dirk and Daphne at it again. Join us in this adventure as we prepare to bring Dragon’s Lair to a new generation.
We’ve worked on ’20’ successful animation motion pictures, some of them “iconic”, The Secret of NIMH, An American Tail, The Land Before Time, All Dogs Go To Heaven and Anastasia to name a few.
Fans gan donate as little as $15, for which they will get digital post cards, but the more that they throw into the pot, the more they get back. For example, a pledge of $10,000 will bag you 10 signed Giclee’ full-size color backgrounds from the original Dragon’s Lair game, presented on gallery-quality watercolor paper – plus dinner for (2) with Don Bluth & Gary Goldman.
As I type this, the filmmakers have alread raised over $50,000 for a Dragons Lair movie, with 29 days left to go.
For those not familiar with Dragon’s Lair, it was a laserdisc video game that was originally released for the arcades in back 1983. It was also adapted into a short-lived television cartoon series, plus a number of comic books.
It has since been released as a retro game for mobile phones. A Dragons Lair movie will surely prove to be popular. Hit the links above to check out the campaign.
