About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a funny, heartfelt animated adventure like Wolfwalkers or Raya and the Last Dragon; Not for you if heavier family drama feels too intense.

Pros: emotional adventure; gorgeous dragon world; strong family appeal | Cons: busier story; familiar villain; heavier moments
