My Thoughts
In terms of the fantasy genre, I would say the Legend of Crystania movie is my most favorite! Yes, it's that good. I love all the magic and the human/animal half breed element. Crystania is a fascinating world. The soundtrack is good, too. I highly recommend this movie! The story continues in The Chaos Ring series.
