->''"A dragon's heart could doom mankind when a two-tailed comet blazed across the night sky."''
-->-- '''Mansel'''
''Dragonheart: A New Beginning'' is a 2000 Medieval {{Fantasy}} {{Adventure}} film by UniversalPictures, directed by Creator/DougLefler and written by Creator/ShariGoodhartz. It's the direct-to-video sequel to the 1996 film, ''Film/{{Dragonheart}}'', geared towards a younger audience, featuring a new dragon named Drake (voiced by Creator/RobbyBenson).
In the final year of Sir Bowen's life, he returned to the cave where he first met Draco -- and discovered a dragon egg. Bowen put the egg in the care of Gilbert's monastery, where it hatched into a young dragon named Drake. Drake is cared for by a friar (Creator/JohnWoodnutt) and the novice Mansel (Creator/MattHickey) in secret for 20 years until he is one day discovered by Geoff (Creator/ChristopherMasterson), an orphan stableboy who dreams of being a knight. Meanwhile, a pair of travelers (Creator/HenryO and Creator/RonaFigueroa) arrive from the East, searching for a dragon they believe has been born. A prophecy says an ancient evil will take hold of the land using a dragon's heart when a two-tailed comet soars across the sky. The comet is just days away, and they intend to prevent evil from happening. At the same time, the king's new chief advisor Lord Osric (Creator/HarryVanGorkum), becomes interested in Geoff and Drake once he discovers their friendship.

!! ''Dragonheart: A New Beginning'' contains examples of these tropes:
* ActionGirl: Lian's WaifFu skills enable her to take out several opponents on her own.
* AwardBaitSong: "''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UJj69zNGyQ My Heart Goes With You]]''", sung by Rona Figueroa, the actress who plays Lian.
* ABoyAndHisX: A stable boy and his young dragon.
* BreathWeapon: Fire ''and'' ice this time.
* CatchAFallingStar: When Geoff gets pushed off a cliff, Drake (who was previously hidden) reveals himself and takes flight, catching Geoff just before he hits the rocks below.
* ChekhovsSkill: Drake tries to learn the forgotten dragon art of breathing ice but fails. Naturally, he manages to pull it off at the climax during the final battle, which comes as a surprise to [[spoiler:Griffin]].
* ChemicallyInducedInsanity: The king's apparent senility proves to be caused by the BigBad giving him drugs.
* ColorMeBlack: This was attempted on the BigBad before the events of the movie. It utterly failed, and the [[spoiler:dragon in human form]] is still hellbent on genocide.
* CometOfDoom: A prophecy says that an ancient evil will take hold of the land using a dragon’s heart when a two-tailed comet appears in the sky.
* CoveredInMud: At one point, TheRival Roland trips and gets a face full of stable mud.
* ADogNamedDog: "Drake" is a term meaning "(small) dragon," or certain (small) types of dragon, justified as humans who don’t know the dragon language raised Drake.
* DelightfulDragon: Drake is very innocent, friendly, kind, and protective of his friends. He is also initially a bit inexperienced about the world because the monks raised him in secret.
* DragonsAreDemonic: It's exhibited when [[spoiler:Osric transforms back into a dragon and reveals himself to be Griffin, an evil dragon who was turned into a human as punishment for killing humans, and now that he’s a dragon again, he wants to enslave humanity.]]
* DragonsUpTheYinYang: [[spoiler:Griffin]] has a design that is a mix of Western/Eastern dragons.
* DualWielding: Both Roland and Osric fight with a sword in each hand at some point.
* EvilMentor:
** Osric becomes a mentor to Geoff until it's revealed that he was only doing it to get to Drake's heart.
** After he [[spoiler:transforms back into a dragon,]] he also attempts this with Drake when he offers Drake to join him in enslaving humanity, however, Drake refuses.
* FanDisservice: Seeing a monk -- even a supposedly teenage one =- run around in nothing but diaper-like underwear.
* FartsOnFire: While learning to [[BreathWeapon breathe fire]], Drake starts to lose control of it and turns away from the nearby village to avoid damaging anything. Unfortunately, it comes out the wrong end, and he destroys a building.
* IdiotBall: Lian and Kwan are knowingly carrying around [[spoiler:an evil dragon's heart]]. How did it not occur to them until [[spoiler:Osric regains his true form that his heart might be the one in the prophecy rather than Drake's?]]
* IntergenerationalFriendship: Lian refers to Kwan as her loyal servant, wise teacher, and closest friend.
* KarmicTransformation: This happened to [[spoiler:Osric. He was a dragon who was transformed into a man as punishment for killing humans, though he remains bent on revenge even so.]]
* LastOfHisKind: Drake is the world’s last living dragon [[spoiler: The introduction of the evil dragon ‘Griffin’ briefly averts this; however, Drake truly becomes the last dragon again after he kills Griffin]].
* {{Leitmotif}}: The credits song, ''My Heart Goes With You'', serves as Lian's. She even hums it at one point.
* LiterallyShatteredLives: During the final battle, [[spoiler:Drake kills Griffin by breathing ice on him instead of fire. Griffin falls to the ground and shatters. Unfortunately, one of the pieces impales Geoff.]]
* MentorOccupationalHazard: [[spoiler:Poor Kwan...]]
* TheMiddleAges: Set many years after the first film, sometime in the 11th century.
* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:Osric/Griffin’s plan to enslave humanity might seem like some extremist form of justice for the near genocide of his species until the audience (and Drake) recall that while in human form, he tried to trick Drake into sharing his heart (which would have cost him his soul), showing he is perfectly okay with screwing over his fellow dragons for his ends.]]
* OlderThanTheyLook: [[spoiler: Osric’s speech suggests that he was turned into a human during Bowen's 12-year dragon-slaying career, yet he appears to be in his 30’s or 40’s at most despite the events of ''A New Beginning'' taking place 20 years after Bowen died of old age, the reason for this and his exact age are never discussed.]]
* OldMaster: Kwan
* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler: Osric transforms into a dragon]] at the film's climax.
* ParasolOfPain: Master Kwan's weapon.
* PlayingPossum: Done by [[spoiler:Osric and his men]] in battle. [[spoiler:Osric was pretending that he was dying and needed Drake's heart, but when Geoff realized that Osric wasn't wounded, some of Osric's "dead" men jumped up and attacked.]]
* RaisedByHumans: After Bowen found Drake’s egg and entrusted it to the monastery, Drake hatched, and the monks raised him.
* RenownedSelectiveMentor: The king's advisor Osric trains Geoff, claiming it is because he's a natural and deserves special attention. However, his real motive [[spoiler:is to make Geoff eager for battle and trust him to convince Drake to give up half his heart]].
* TheRival: Roland is to Geoff, somewhat.
* SamusIsAGirl: The first time Lian is seen, she is believed to be a boy; it is only a little while later that she is revealed to be a girl.
* SecretTestOfCharacter: Kwan and Lian want to test Drake to see if his heart will be the one that will cause evil. [[spoiler:Kwan claims that there's a way to learn all of the ancient dragon secrets instantly, but Drake isn't stupid. Drake more than likely smelt a rat because nothing is that simple unless it's a trap, which is why he refused and decided to learn naturally from Kwan, year by year, therefore passing the test.]]
* {{Sequel}}: Takes place years after the first film.
* SevenDeadlySins: Used as a bit of a RunningGag.
-->'''Geoff:''' Come on, don't say it like that, take some pride in being special!
-->'''Mansel:''' All right, I ''am'' special!
-->'''Geoff:''' It's not like {{Pride}} is one of those Seven Deadly Sins or anything.
-->'''Mansel''' ''(stops walking and frowns)'': ...Actually, it is.
** And then later:

-->'''Geoff:''' Hey, you have fun. 'Cause it's not like [[VillainousGlutton Gluttony]] is on that seven deadly sin list too.
-->''(Mansel quickly sets down all the food and walks away)''
* SurroundedByIdiots: "YOU are ''all'' '''''INCOMPETENTS!'''''"
* TakingTheBullet:
** [[spoiler:Osric]] [[PlayingPossum pretends to do this]] in battle.
** [[spoiler:Kwan]] [[TakingTheBullet does this toward the end.]]
* ThereIsAnother: Said almost word for word by Drake when [[spoiler:Osric/Griffin reveals his identity and transforms back into a dragon.]]
--> “There's another dragon?”
* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks:
** Osric does this in battle.
** [[spoiler:Geoff throwing his sword at Griffin]] in the climax.
* VillainHasAPoint: [[spoiler:Osric/Griffin]] isn’t wrong when he points out that Bowen was responsible for wiping out the dragons.
* WaifFu: Lian uses this a couple of times.
* WeCanRuleTogether: Once [[spoiler:Osric becomes a dragon again, he calls Drake "little brother"]] and invites him to enslave humanity together.
* YouHaveFailedMe: Stefan has served Osric loyally for years. One mistake, and he gets a dagger in his chest.
