(Blu-ray, Warner Archive Collection)
A wizard is alarmed by the lack of magic in a human world increasingly reliant on science. He calls a meeting with his wizard brothers to come up with a solution. However, the red wizard, who presides over black magic, has a different idea. Since they are forbidden to fight among themselves, the other wizards summon a young scientist from the future to lead an expedition to take the crown from the red wizard and rob him of his power. The have to overcome numerous obstacles along the way, but luckily have plenty of magical help. Over-plotted animated fantasy has some good scenes of dragons, but otherwise somewhat of a disappointment from the Rankin-Bass team. Harry Morgan is bland as the voice of the green wizard.
