Reversal of the Heart (2011)
A dragon queen and her chick are living peacefully on a mountaintop. While the queen is hunting, her chick is killed by a knight who takes the jewel from the chick's heart and makes it into a necklace which he gives to his princess. The princess is turned into a dragon and forced to flee from the knight, meeting a young wizard and his familiar on the way. The wizard decides that the dragon princess needs to go to the mountain at the heart of the dragon kingdom, and they begin a long journey across the continent. The knight, who has trailed the princess to the mountain, severely injures her. In the process, the dragon necklace is severed, and the princess turns human again. The knight, consumed by guilt, offers his life to the dragon queen, and is turned into a blue-eyed dragon chick to replace the one he had killed.

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
i must have seen a different film!!
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
I thought that Timber was my favorite animated short film I've ever seen...then i saw this. I honestly don't know how this escaped me, since i like dragons, i like wizards, and i REALLY like traditional animation and it's sad that traditional animation is losing out to CGI. The animation is beautiful, and the music is well composed as well. I really like the story as well....but...the ending is a little...confusing....and it's really the only real detractor of this short. Worth a watch no matter what, 10/10.
