George and the Dragon

My family has discovered a fun new movie called 'George and the Dragon'. We rented it earlier this week and the kids all loved it. Tonight, we decided we would watch a movie together and as the kids were going through their ritual of debating what movie to watch, I suggested we could watch 'George and the Dragon' again since we hadn't returned it yet. Instantly, the debate was over and there was an enthusiastic, unanimous vote in favor of watching it for the second time this week. It was REALLY enthusiastic. Very cute.

Although the movie is especially good for kids, I really liked it too. That might say more about me than it does about the movie, but that's ok. It's a fun story of a knight named George returning from the Crusades, seeking for peace, solitude, and an acre of land and two head of cattle, who gets mixed up in the search for a missing Princess and stumbles across ... a dragon. The plot is full of holes and there are all kinds of editing issues, but it's a really cute story with some good morals and some pretty good acting. I really enjoyed Bill Treacher's character, Elmendorf, and though I hadn't seen James Purefoy, I thought he made the character of George really fun and likeable.

Cute family movie. If you have young children, give it a shot. I think we're going to buy this one so we can have some more unanimous votes on what movie to watch.
