Description

For Chemical Alia's fake fanart contest. I wanted to do more, but Brawls birthday is coming up soon, and getting present art done for him is far more important. Anyways, the fake description:

War of the Mages was easily my favorite Don Bluth movie when I was growing up, even more so then An American Tail or Land Before Time. You really can't beat a magical war set in the future with animals, you just can't. The humor and story were good, and the animation was fantastic. The scene where both sides come together in the middle of the city to battle was incredible, AND was 0% CGI. So it didn't have the cheapness of suddenly going from animated by hand to animated by computers.

The story was about the four teens in the picture (Max, Kathren, Daisy, and Rita) and their struggles during this time of increasingly wrose troubles and tensions on their massive island city. Sabotage and people getting shot down on their side daily are the norm, and slowly everyone is migrating from their ancestral home to escape certain death. Everyone except for, of course, our heroes and their adoptive father Jack, a sea otter. Jack is the leader of the descendants of the people who lost the war thousands of years ago, and refuses to give up even though it seems like a lost cause.

Max, Kathren, Daisy, and Rita still have some hope left, but it's diminishing pretty fast, especially since not only did their original families get killed when they were very young, the foster family they lived with for a short time afterwards were shot down too, and it was nothing short of a miracle that they themselves escaped both times.

I won't say anymore about the plot or the ending because it's availible on DVD, although very VERY hard to find, even in rental shops.

Unfortunitly, whereas it was my favorite when I was young (and still is today), it was very unpopular with critics and as a result did very poorly in the box office, and had a limited release overseas. A real shame because everyone should be able to enjoy this great masterpeice.
