@zitrodivad the arcade cabinet had a joystick that you would move towards the flashing prompt to make a move. You also had a button for the sword to press when it flashed on screen.
Actually I think she was Daphne's mother. If not, her former nanny maybe? Her quote "I raised the princess to marry a frog!" is the only explanation to their relationship.
@@RekEStore32 Well, it doesn't really make much of a difference. She was still trying to kill him even though she was telling him to look for his wife.
I think it's more that this guy never got a break. Link went through more total, but Link could stop and take a breather now and then. Heck, he could even take a day off in most games. Playing games, fishing, relaxing on his own private island, sprucing up his own house and horseback riding....
Don Bluth also has always wanted to produce a Dragon’s Lair feature length movie since the 1980s but it never happened due to funding issues however he recently tried to bring back the project by doing a Kickstarter campaign to back the production of it! :)
That's some real impressive animation but how the actual hell was anyone expected to play this? Those quick time events are absurdly quick. Talk about a quarter muncher.
First time seeing this and didn't even know there was a dragon's lair 2. Don's animation is amazing as always and love the Alice in wonderland homage from his time at Disney.
The animation is beautiful! I love it all except Daphnie’s scream. It’s so high pitched it hurts to hear and you are not sure when it’s coming so you can’t really lower the volume.
I mean, his world is so full of crumbling architecture and persistent threats that it's hard to imagine that it actually stops between games. Maybe that's just HIS LIFE. On the other hand, that's just so many freaking kids with a wife who still looks like that, so obviously there are some benefits.
@@KingOfGaymes "His world is a constant Maelstrom of chaos and death, but I imagine his enduringly beautiful wife provides him comfort" Whether I interpreted the situation correctly or not, how is that sentiment misogynistic? I'm legitimately asking.
@@THATGuy5654 I guess some people figure any appreciation of physical beauty is a form of objectification. And yeah, those are obviously Dirk's and Daphne's kids. The boys look like and are even dressed like him. And why would Daphne's siblings join them on that joyride at the end? Talk about a bunch of third wheels. Or, rather... third through thirteenth wheels, by my count? So, in summary... yeah, that guy doesn't know what he's talking about. EDIT: Third through _fourteenth!_ EDIT 2: Okay, there appear to be nine boys and three girls on the time machine at the end, but in the previous scene we see four girls, so they must have at least thirteen kids (for a total of fifteen wheels if all are present). I hope that missing girl is just hidden amid the rest and didn't get left behind...
Even though the Jabberwocky never appeared in the Alice in Wonderland animated film, there is completed artwork for it. As a kid, I remember through an animated book using the Disney pictures and they also included the Jabberwocky.
@@Jaffersin No. The biblical cherub looks nothing like that. Cupid was looted for Renaissance paintings. The actual cherub is a giant bronze with goat legs and four heads: Head of a man, an eagle, an ox, and a lion.
I don't think this is actually gameplay. Because you can't hear the action sounds. This just seems like the option where you can just watch the game autoplay. Also you can't really Finnish the game without obtaining all the treasures. Something I don't see happening here. I first played the game as a CD Rom game on the PC and later as a DVD. So I'm pretty familiar with the game options. Just saying.
Good grief and people said for a time that the Cuphead game was difficult. Imo this was definitely the inspiration for the latter. Only Dragon's Lair was much harder 😂
Yes dragons lair. It's a movie with interactive scenes. Press the wrong cue and you die. They were insanely popular in the day. Now they are just nostalgia for really hard games. You could even buy these on VHS tapes. Press left and right on your TV remote.
@@azinyefantasy4445 first time I hear about it on VHS. How would that work technically when it needs to jump to a death scene or restart the scene? There's a reason these were made for the laser disc initially.
Don Blueth animation scared me, mainly the earthquake scenes. There's just something terrifying about watching the earth rise and crumble like that and he captured it beautifully.
When the game looks better than the cartoon lol! No seriously...I remember in the early days of Cartoon Network and Boomerang they actually showed episodes of the Dragon's Lair cartoon based off the first game...iirc each episode had a "if Dirk had chosen to do this" moment that showed Dirk's failure...they did not do this for the Space Ace cartoon which was based off the game of the same name.
Played this one for the first time on iOS in 2012. This one has WAY too many actions to take per minute, with no room to breath until the very, very end.
looks like the same animations as The Rescuers, All Dogs Go to Haven and Land Before Time. so cool. The saddest part of this is... knowing this sort of animation is compliantly dead and you'll never see anything new in this style because everyone that learned and could do this style are gone or too old to do it anymore. Now most everything is AI generated and boring... mannnnn.. i miss older stuff. So much more soul and love in it. So much more enjoyable and simple.
