AnimatedChildren's animatedFantasy
My Father's Dragon is a 2022 animated fantasy adventure comedy film that originated as a project for Netflix with an initial release scheduled for 2021. The film was directed by Nora Twomey and written by Meg LeFauve, who collaborated on the story with John Morgan. It adapts the 1948 children's novel by Ruth Stiles Gannett and includes a dedication to Morgan, who passed away from cancer during production in March 2016.
The motion picture represents an international collaboration between the United States and Ireland. Voice actors including Jacob Tremblay, Gaten Matarazzo, Golshifteh Farahani, Dianne Wiest, Rita Moreno, Chris O'Dowd, Judy Greer, Alan Cumming, Yara Shahidi, Jackie Earle Haley, Whoopi Goldberg, and Ian McShane contributed to the cast.
Produced by Netflix Animation, Mockingbird Pictures, and Cartoon Saloon, the film premiered in limited theaters across Ireland, the United States, and the United Kingdom on November 4. Its official release followed on November 11, 2022 after being delayed from Netflix. Although critics responded positively to the film, it marked Cartoon Saloon's first animated feature not to receive a Best Animated Feature Academy Award nomination.
