My Father's Dragon

Watch online My Father's Dragon (2022), a hand-drawn animated feature you can stream on iFILM. This family adventure comes from the Newbery Honor children's book by Ruth Stiles Gannett.

A boy named Elmer is struggling. After moving to the city with his mother, he loses the home and the small comforts he knew, so one night he runs away. His destination is Wild Island, where rumor says a young dragon is being held captive. The journey throws him among talking beasts, hidden traps, and a friendship worth every risk. The voice cast includes Jacob Tremblay, Gaten Matarazzo, Golshifteh Farahani, and Rita Moreno.

Director Nora Twomey and Ireland's Cartoon Saloon are known for warm, hand-drawn animation and stories the whole family can share. Here they talk to children about fear, loss, and courage in plain, gentle terms. Stream My Father's Dragon on iFILM for a tender, slightly melancholy fairy tale with real handmade beauty.
