Twomey's latest is another fine animation that stands in shrill contrast with its American counterparts. Like most of Cartoon Saloon's films though, the creativity and tone may be there, but the quality of the animation and the detail in the art style is a bit of a letdown. My Father's Dragon is no exception. The music is nice, the adventure is exciting and there are some lovely moments between Elmer and the dragon, but the whole feels a tad childish and visually underdeveloped. It would be nice to see Twomey and cohorts make a film for a slightly more mature audience, I'm certain it could be amazing.Read all
Nice but somewhat traditional tale about a young girl dressing up as a boy to save her family. The setting is an interesting one for an animation film, the artstyle (think Secret of Kells and Song of the Sea) is exquisite, but the story is a tad too by the numbers to make it truly engaging.
