And it's only coz of our own familiarity with the studio's earlier efforts that we continue to stay aboard, expecting more than what it has in store. However, the premise is generic, devoid of depth and doesn't have enough to engage the adults. The rich animation remains visually appealing and the characters are gorgeously rendered too with simple designs & colourful brushstrokes. What unfolds in the city had more promise than where it journeys into, plus the execution is also lacking the emotional resonance. Directed by Nora Twomey (The Breadwinner), the story has all the magical charm & innocence that's expected from the studio but unlike their previous works, there isn't a complexity & layer to it that made those films enchanting for viewers of all ages. From the creators of Song of the Sea & Wolfwalkers comes another family-friendly delight that retains the simple, charming & childlike animation that Cartoon Saloon is best-known for but is lacking on the narrative front this time around, for My Father's Dragon packs a kid-friendly plot that will keep the young viewers invested but there isn't much in store for the grown-ups.
