Another massive fantasy franchise is the Harry Potter films including their own dragon in the final film - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2. There's more eco-friendly adventure beginnings in Avatar. For more J.R.R. Tolkien adventures check out the other Hobbit films (The Desolation of Smaug and The Battle of the Five Armies) and The Lord of the Rings trilogy from Peter Jackson. For superhero movies with a bit of a classical fantasy vibe check out Thor and Wonder Woman. Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace is another beginning of a prequel series.
