The story is OK, considering its for the younger generation or meant as a family movie.
About the technical part, very well animated, pretty decent camera angles but a little poorly edited.
This movie could've been a little longer. After about 26 minutes in begins to jump between stories and does so way to much and way to fast. Going from the Raven (short reference), Dr. Jeckyl and Mr Hyde, Moby Dick to Long John Silver. in a matter of 10 minutes. Also there is a sequence where two of the characters are presumed dead but you don't get a pause or anything. Allow the audience to savor the narrative and feel something about whats just happened.
Also, some things makes no sense. Near the end of the story they get chased by a dragon. three characters hide in a cave and one keeps running. There is a short moment of romance between two characters, Adventure and Fantasy. First they kiss and everything is fine, then Adventure says something offending and gets kicked out of their shelter. Yes because we all know that remarks like that from someone you just kissed is punishable by death! How does that make sense? Also, Adventure gets INCINIRATED by the dragon but returns to the cave with a cartoonish "flamed" look. How does that make sense? Why run from something that can't harm you? Overall, its a OK movie. If you want a decent adventure movie aimed at children then you will enjoy the Pagemaster.
