My Father’s Dragon is a highly popular children’s novel back in 1948. Ruth Stiles Gannett wrote it. It is success because it spawned two sequels. If this animated movie will deliver on Netflix’s expectations, we might get to see the sequels Elmer and the Dragon and The Dragons of Blueland have animations too. Jacob Tremblay who is going to play Flounder for the live-action adaption of the Little Mermaid gets the lead role. While waiting for that movie you can get a sneak peak of his voice acting talent on this film.

The story is told from the perspective of a young woman, who narrates her father’s adventures. In addition, She said the events happened long ago because its from his childhood.

Back in the 90s, there was an Anime movie version of My Father’s Dragon. Let’s see if the Netflix version can surpass the older adaptation. The expectations is high because this is an iconic children’s book.

My Father’s Dragon official trailer

Elmer (Jacob Tremblay) saw an Ally cat (Whoopi Goldberg) and treated her with kindness. She gives her food and befriended her.

The cat that he helped can communicate with, and she has said that she will provide him with some information. Elmer got instructed to travel to the location indicated by the cat, which was a small island in front of him. The cat informed him that he will get the opportunity to encounter an incredible and magnificent dragon in real life. Only he can rescue the captured dragon from the island, but unfortunately, he have to break the rules of his parents to do this mission. However, he is aware that his parents will not permit him to assist the dragon in any way. Therefore, he decided to runaway to complete his mission.

Elmer did find the dragon and he introduced himself with the name Boris. (Gaten Matarazzo). Even though they just met, Boris and Elmer have become friends, and it looks like they have a lot of exciting and memorable adventures ahead of them together. It’s likely that the destinations they visit will be entirely unique, offering something that can’t be found anyplace else on the planet.

This book had an anime movie adaptation before. Good luck to Netflix trying to surpass that.

I am so stoked due to the fact that the creators of The Secret of Kells and Wolfwalkers are behind this, two of my all-time favorite animated movies, I have no doubt that this one will be fantastic as well. I thought Wolfwalkers was fantastic. Maybe this will be just as satisfying.

Hmm... Looks like that the plot will diverge significantly from the source material. But the animation is beautiful, and the studio has produced some great movies, so it should be a fantastic film in its own right. When I was a kid, this was one of my favorite books. Since the movie's announcement, I've been eagerly anticipating it.

This movie's Elmer and Flounder are both voiced by the same young boy who lent his talents to Luca last year.

Hand-Drawn Animation Will Always Have Their Magic! This is a welcome departure from the trend of entirely computer-generated animation in recent years.

I can't get over how stunning the visuals are. It looks like another triumph for the legendary Cartoon Saloon. Their previous works, The Secret of Kells, Song of the Sea, and Wolfwalkers, are fantastic. I plan on seeing this film upon release.

What the heck, they cast Dustin as the dragon! He is currently the most in-demand actor from Stranger Things. I'm relieved he has continued his acting career. He is worthy of all the good fortune that comes his way. I had the pleasure of meeting him, and he is a genuinely pleasant person.

From I was a child, there are two words that could get me to read a book or watch a TV show or a movie. Dragon or Unicorn. If I hear either of those words, I'm in!
