Actually the point of Fantasy is that it doesn't follow the laws of physics. A flying animal the size of a dragon probably isn't possible for example and with the square cube law a human like figure that was the size of a giant (ala Jack and the Beanstalk) would be breaking his legs every time he took a step. Not to mention a circulatory system probably wouldn't be able to sustain such a being either. Fantasy is about things that can't be as opposed to Sci. Fi. which is about things that while unlikely to happen could at least in theory be possible.
