My Father's Dragon

About This Movie

So, 'My Father's Dragon' comes across as this charming blend of adventure and whimsy, right? Despite the animation style being quite modern, there's a warmth that feels reminiscent of classic family tales. The pacing has a nice flow; it allows Elmer’s journey to breathe, which is refreshing. You really get a sense of his loneliness in the big city and that longing for connection - a theme that resonates deeply. The creatures on Wild Island, while fantastical, have this quirky, almost endearing vibe that makes them memorable. And the visuals—there’s a certain texture to the animation that feels almost tactile. It's like they took great care in crafting these worlds, which adds to its distinctiveness.
