Favorite fantasy movie chartacter(s)?

Recommended Posts

Ludo is quite cool, as are many of the characters in that movie.

You left out skexys or however you friggen spell them, oh and those cool long leg bunny rabbit things that the gelflings rode.


I dont' think I can pick a favorite. I'd have to say anything Jim Henson made or helped make was awesome.

How can any list like this NOT have Leeloo on it??[:/]



5th Element is typically classified as Sci-Fi by most people, so it excludes her from fantasy film category.


5th Element should never be classified as Sci-fi.
Fantasy IS the correct category.

Sci-fi takes a scientific concept and expands on it, usually to a horrific yet logical conclusion. Hence the name Sci-fi (SCIENCE fiction).

Fantasy makes no such commitment to being based in any reality.

2001, I Robot and Star Trek = Sci-fi
Star Wars, 5th Element and Dune = Fantasy

Now that we have that established . . . Princess Leia in that slave costume . . . yeah . . . that was the best Carrie Fisher EVER looked.

Next up . . . Callisto from Xena.

Star Wars, 5th Element and Dune = Fantasy Sci-Fi to be fair Trek is Sci-Fi too...

you are confusing 'sci-fi' (rhymes with iffy and means it has little 'science' in it) with Science Fiction...

and yes I am paraphrasing Harlen Ellison.. If anyone is qualified to more accurately define the TWO genres (Sci-Fi and Science Fiction) it is him....

but the list is flawed anyway... Chewbacca is on it which is clearly Sci-Fi, not Fantasy...

I agree with your assessment of Sci-Fi but as I said most people classify movies that are in the future and have space ships, Sci-Fi. Not to say that most people aren't wrong.
