Them or us? That is a question that we have been asked in the past, and we provide the following review for your consideration:

I watched ****  ***** Archive Collection release of Flight of Dragons & I was disappointed. They did no restoration or enhancement of the film & it was faded, grainy, & shadowy. The audio track was muted & raspy. It opened with a Copyright that lasted over a minute, & then had a several minute long commercial promoting the Archive Collection. The Disc Menu is a dark blue screen with only one option, “Play.” Even the disc itself is a dreary dark grey with the title in white. The cover art is terrible & looks nothing like the animation.
I saw Acme-TV Cartoon Classics offered a version. I contacted & asked if they had enhanced the sound & video quality in anyway, or added extras. I was invited to compare their DVD to the ***** ****** version.
The difference is amazing! Acme-TV opens with a lovely still of a dragon from the movie which matches art on the DVD disc. A small box showing exciting scenes from the film plays on the Disc menu. Play is the only option, but the copyright notice is very short, then the movie begins…
It was immediately apparent Acme-TV had enhanced the sound quality from the theme song. They also did a great deal of visual enhancement! It is hard to describe; the grainy & shadowy film on the ***** ***** DVD can’t compare to Acme-TV’s restoration back to the original vivid colors! The yellow & graying of the skin tones of the human characters looks natural. Backgrounds have been restored to stunning clarity. The white glowing light representing magic is pure & bright. The film looks almost contemporary yet it’s almost 30 years old!
I recommend Acme-TV’s Flight of Dragons DVD over ***** ******. & I thank Acme-TV Cartoon Classics DVD for all the restoration work they did on one of my all time favorite childhood movies.
Don’t waste your money for a big studio name & an a time worn looking DVD. If you love Flight Of Dragons, by the enhanced & restored DVD from The Acme-TV Cartoon Classics!
