MERLIN AND THE DRAGONS
Lightyear Productions
Animated movie, produced 1991
narrated by Kevin Kline

This short animated film is narrated by the marvelous Kevin Kline and I got to spend eight hours in the studio with him! Only five years later did it finally become a book. Part of my Arthurian obsession (I have written a number of books about King Arthur), the story is based on the legends about Merlin as a boy. In this version, Merlin is an old man trying to help the young king Arthur, who can't sleep, by telling him a story, the story of another boy (young Merlin). There was a poster that was a smash hit with young boys, of the two clashing dragons. There is also a French version,"Merlin et les Dragons" and a short movie about the making of the film by Lightyear called "What's A Good Story: Merlin and the Dragons."
