Starchaser - The Legend of Orin

Starchaser: The Legend of Orin is a 1985 animated movie. It was written by animation writer Jeffrey Scott and was originally released in 3-D by Atlantic Releasing. Starchaser was one of the first animated movies to mix traditional and computer animation. It is the only 3-D film distributed by Atlantic Releasing. Anthony De Longis played the evil Lord Zygon.

The film is set millennia in the future. On a distant planet named Trinia, human slaves have lived underground for many years and mine for crystals (which are used as starship fuel) for a "god" named Zygon and his robot minions. During another day of mining, Orin, the hero of the film, finds a jeweled sword embedded in the rocks. One of the slaves, the grandfather of Orin's girlfriend Elan, recognizes the sword and sacrifices his life in order to keep the sword a secret. When Orin later takes the sword into his hands, it ascends into the air and buries itself in the cavern's floor. A projection of an old man appears from the blade, saying that above the caverns is a "magnificent universe" that the people may find. The blade then disappears, leaving only the hilt.
