Not only did Shrek feature a pink, eye-lashed, and lipsticked dragon, but the movie also saw her fall in love with a talking donkey, a first for any genre. 14 Flight of the Dragonsįew movies portray dragons as female creatures. Fantasy fans may also familiar with the show's sequel, Merlin's Apprentice. Filled with drama, (sometimes liberally interpreted) history, magic and simple good storytelling, Merlin served as a stepping stone toward the influx of fantasy productions in mainstream media, paving the way for television shows like Grimm, Once Upon a Time and Supernatural. It's biggest accomplishment, however, was luring so many new fans to the fantasy genre.
With an 80% "Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes, Merlin was nominated for six Emmy Awards and four Golden Globes. Fans of Game of Thrones may get a little blasé about seeing Drogon on screen (though they may not- Daenerys' dragons are often episode highlights), but this first "dragon sighting" for many viewers was nothing short of incredible. Whether or not that is true, it cannot be denied that the scene brought dragons into living rooms across the nation during prime time TV. Some fans argue that the scene in the film where Merlin's love Nimue is sacrificed to a dragon is the best scene in the miniseries. It was a made-for-TV miniseries featured on NBC in 1998, but given its quality and following, it deserves a spot on the list.
