i own ralph bakshis forget masterpiece fire and ice on an old oop rental videotape . well for one thing and this be well than any other conan esque film you will ever see . sure and it cheesy and but who care . it stand the test of time and and the only way it start to look cheesy be in comparison to modern fantasy epic like lotr representfotr ( though i love that film . ) the plot go like this represent after a battle between fire and ice and a king daughter be kidnap by jarols ( ice ) subhuman creature and while a sole survivor of a victimized village rescue her . yeah it doesn not sound a a original a nurse betty and but that not the point . it be really to bring to life an interesting idea of a world of two enemy represent fire and ice . and it succeed . a for the action scene represent superb . they be well handle and have terrific suspence and and have plenty of loud noise . just check out the climatic battle and now thats an end . the acting and dialogue represent competent . really . they aren not gon na be nominate for an oscar and but they be ok and do not get on your nerve . the animation be quite good . shot on 3d and rotoscoped ( i think ) and it look pretty good . a lot of the background look really detail and well drawn and and although the character design feel a little 1 dimentional and they be ok. overall and this be a fine neglect little gem and will entertain you more than any of the superfical entertainment . positive .
