I hearted this film so much when I was younger but have the vaguest of memories about it. I know it was sort of Alice In Wonderland-y and there were wizards who wore different colours and the like. I also remember (and this is where it gets really weird) lots of Lemming like creatures throwing themselves off a cliff -- I think if you heard their cry, you'd want to do the same.
A google reveals that I'm not making this up, but there's a dearth of actual websites/fansites/general information about the film.
Anyone else remember it?

Yes, didn't it have a (with hindsight) awful 70s folk theme tune?

I have it on video havent watched it for years, in the modern world someone called john thomas (or something euqally plain and modern) made a flight of dragons board game. In the realm of magic the old green wizard carolinus was worried that the realm of magic would cease as people started belieiving in logic over magic. He speaks to the tree of antiquity who shows him john thomas in the modern day. Carolinus go's on flying dice and picks him up and takes him back to the realm og magic to lead a quest. For a quest you need 6 people or something. SO he asks sir lawrence neville smythe (i think thats his name) his big orange dragon i think he is called smeagus or something, and his young dragon gorbash to go to. The evil wixard omedon casts a spell to try and kill john thomas but he actually puts him into gorbash's body. on their travels they meet the blue wizard and the something else coloured wizard. They make new friends like elves and fight ogres and many evil things. In the end they all reach the evil realm where omedon lives and gorbash has to fight him and his nasty dragon breyog, as they have turned all the dragons against them. In the end john thomas beats him by chosing logic over magic and reciting all different sciences. all the magic people build a hidden realm to live in and john comes back to modern day and the elf girls as his girlfriend. It rocks.

Was looking for another thread and just saw this one. Thrills! I love Flight of Dragons. I have it on video and I watched it repeatedly through uni and it's still great! When I was a kid I really couldn't watch the bit where Gorbash and the big red/orange dragon (can't remember his name) fight that horrible ogre thing - it was just too sad!
