The 66th BFI London Film Festival has announced it's line up including the world premiere of Cartoon Saloon's, My Father's Dragon, by award-winning director, Nora Twomey.
The London Film Festival takes place from October 5 to 16.
Exclusively for Netflix My Father’s Dragon is a major animated feature production based on the 1948 Ruth Styles Gannet best-selling book with script by Meg LeFauve about a boy and a young dragon stranded on an island full of untamed beasts.
From five-time Academy Award-nominated animation studio Cartoon Saloon (The Secret of Kells, Song of the Sea, Wolfwalkers) and Academy Award -nominated director Nora Twomey (The Breadwinner), comes an exquisite film inspired by the Newbery-honored children’s book from author Ruth Stiles Gannett. Struggling to cope after a move to the city with his mother, Elmer (Jacob Tremblay) runs away in search of Wild Island and a young dragon called Boris (Gaten Matarazzo) who waits to be rescued. Elmer's adventures introduce him to ferocious beasts, a mysterious island and the friendship of a lifetime.
Kilkenny-based Cartoon Saloon was formed by Paul Young, Tomm Moore and Nora Twomey.
