This is certainly one of the uglier full-length CGI feature ever made and looks like a Windows 95 game cutscene from 1996. Actually it looks worse than that. I remember the opening of Wordcraft II at least looked somewhat epic, even if the movements of the models were a bit mechanical.
The story can be best described as an extremely simple rehash of Disney/Pixar plots. Some condors find a dragon's egg and raise it as their own (Jungle Book), dragon grows up thinking it's a condor but doesn't fit in (Hercules), eventually some female dragon comes to bring him back to his kingdom because he's a price and his kingdom is in trouble and he needs to save it (Lion King) because of some prophecy (most fairy tales).
It's basic, but it has such an immense volumes of tropes and cliches that it comes out being a passably unique pastiche. Surely something better than Lima National University's animation/computer science undergraduate students could come up for a school project.
The voices are competently done. Aside from the fugliness of the art style and graphics, the weakest element here is the character development. JohnJohn goes from being/acting like a baby dragon. He is teased in discriminated for his appearance and cowardly, even afraid of his own shadow. Female dragon comes in, turns him into an adult dragon immediately with fire, then he suddenly becomes a brave bully for no reason, eventually coming in him taking on some gigantic villains. What a drastic change. Must have been something in the fire.
JohnJohn is a really dumb name and both some firefly and the adult female dragon seem to develop a sexual attraction to JohnJohn, which is really weird considering just a few days prior to it he appears to have just been an infact.
Anyway, not worth discussing too deeply. It would be OK if it were an episode of a bad animation on TV, although I think people would be turned off by the ugliness of the animation.
Honourable Mentions: The Emperor's New Groove (2000). The creators REALLY wanted you to know this was a Peruvian production. They should have just plagiarized Groove, which is all about a llama. Neither production otherwise has anything to do with actual Peruvian culture, though.
