Summary
Magic Lizard is a large lizard who guards the crystal under the base of the pagoda of the Temple of Dawn. After Martians stole the crystal, Magic Lizard enlists the aid of the giant guardian as he escapes to various locations throughout Thailand, including Bridge on the River Kwai and Phae Mueang Phi. Over the course of the film, Magic Lizard flees from man-eating crocodiles, wild elephants, tigers, a mother and baby black bear, train runners, giant mosquitoes, and skeleton ghosts.
Production and reception
Magic Lizard was inspired by Sompote Sands' nephew, who had brought home a frilled lizard from Austria.
The film was released in Japan by NHK as エリマケトカゲ一人旅 (Erimaketokage hitoritabi; lit: "frilled lizard lonely travel"). When it was released in Thailand, it was not expected to garner commercial success due to copyright infringements and the lack of a drafted copyright law.[1]
