Based on the 1948 children’s book by Ruth Stiles Gannett and lovingly hand-drawn from a child’s perspective, the animated film My Father’s Dragon hits the sweet spot, offering young viewers a whimsical adventure amid a coming-of-age tale. It’s gentle and charming, with characters who behave in unexpected ways. Airing on Netflix, it assembles an impressive creative team, from director Nora Twomey and screenwriter Meg LeFauve to the voice cast, including Rita Moreno , Jacob Tremblay and Gaten Matarazzo.
