Merlin & the Dragon - Opening and Flipbook

Here's a short video of the opening for my Merlin and the Dragon. Here's how Wikipedia describes it, "Merlin and the Dragons is a 1991 animated film adapted from a story by Jane Yolen and illustrations by Alan Lee. It was directed by Dennis Woodyard (as Dennis J. Woodyard) and Hu Yihong and includes a musical score by composer Michel Rubini. The production is a retelling of the Arthurian legend, with Merlin the magician, based on material from Nennius and Geoffrey of Monmouth.[Yolen is a prolific author of Arthurian-themed texts, and this production continues her series of retelling of the Merlin story. The half-hour film is narrated and voiced by Kevin Kline and was originally broadcast as an episode of the PBS program Long Ago and Far Away, which first aired on November 9, 1991". I'll have to do a fuller, personal blog about it sometime. I erroneously thought it aired on Levar Burton's Reading Rainbow, but I guess I was wrong. Enjoy.
