Yes, this legendary director is coming out of retirement! He has launched a Kickstarter IndieGogo campaign for a full-length Dragon's Lair movie!

Awaits typical "Will only back if its hot Daphne and not Hanna-Barbera prude Daphne" response.

Don Bluth Q&A (https://www.facebook.com/donbluthfilms/videos/1160572114011086)

If the Kickstarter doesn't work (sadly, it seems to be the case), they thankfully have a Plan B.

They'll have hot Daphne.

The fundraiser has been cancelled.

They're moving the project to IndieGogo. Check back here (https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/dragon-s-lair-the-movie) on December 1.

Good that they are still giving crowd-funding another go. Hopefully the project has gathered more attention by now and this attempt will raise what they need.

The IndieGogo fundraiser has opened! Also, the goal is much smaller this time ($250,000).

Glad to see it. Dragon's Lair should make a pretty entertaining movie.

Even though the main campaign ended a while ago, they were still in "InDemand" mode on IndieGogo, and now they're going to include a Space Ace short!

Finally, we have an update on this thing after so long!

It's coming to Netflix, it will star Ryan Reynolds...and it's live-action? (https://www.engadget.com/2020-03-27-netflix-dragons-lair-movie-ryan-reynolds.html) :whuh:

The backers are NOT going to be happy.
