In complete awe that Cartoon Saloon is part of the Star Wars universe. Screecher's Reach was incredible. A deep story with a touch of pure horror. The world looks great and unique to the style Cartoon Saloon offers. Daal is a character who you'll get invested in quite easily in this short story. A lot more is going on in her life than what initially seems to be the case. It seems like such an innocent thing when this group of friends do when leave work to check if a ghost is real or not. Lovely surprise to hear Anjelica Houston do some voice work. Such a great idea to let animation studios worldwide tell stories in this galaxy. #MayThe4thBeWithYou.
Feel like this had the potential to be a much better film. There are some good moments and good performances from the likes of Colm Meaney. Overall though it isn't able to pull off the real dramatic moments and think it should have stuck with going all out with the mad, great-looking redcaps.
Side note: Fear Dearg translates to the singular "Red man" but we were definitely dealing with more than one redcap so it should have been Fir dhearga. Guess it's not too important but couldn't stop thinking about it everytime it was mentioned.
Definitely interested in checking out Grabbers now though and will check future Wright films out.

Really enjoyed My Father's Dragon. A story of bravery with two likeable characters. Everyone is going to adore Boris the Dragon. He puts a smile on your face! Gaten Matarazzo is the perfect choice to voice him. Great talent behind the other voices as well from Jacob Tremblay, Whoopi Goldberg, Rita Moreno and Ian McShane to name but a few.
Animation from Cartoon Saloon is always going to be special and this new film from Nora Twomey keeps with this tradition. Colours and textures are so lovely. Cartoon Saloon also never shy away from some intense scenes and some very young viewers might find this so. The story does feel a bit disjointed in places.
Overall a very enjoyable film with a fantastic score from Mychael and Jeff Danna.
