    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Director David Lowery explained why Elliott is a furry dragon in an IGN article, saying that he'd rather have "the kind of dragon you really want to give a hug to" than a Game of Thrones (2011) type dragon, which he described as "cool, but scaly and cold".
    • Goofs
      There is a scene when they enter the main street and it is set up like an American street, i.e.: drivers on the right side and marking on the right.. BUT of on a side street, they have failed to correct the New Zealand road markings and cars are on the left.
    • Quotes

      Grace: I know those woods. I know those woods like the back of my hand. I couldn't have missed a dragon.

      Meacham: Well, you missed Pete.

    A good soul among greedy souls
    Love, Just a one syllable four letter word. So simple yet so powerful. Hatred, a two syllable word, complex but powerful. Both the words are powerful enough in their ways. Both resides on us, but it's us, humans, who have to decide which side we will take, on which word we will act on! Animals are primitive, ferocious, vicious and wild, but it's ours, men's point of view. May be they think of us the vice-versa. We fail to see the beauty of them, beauty of this planet. It's because we look upon them with our greedy eyes and filthy souls. But what of a child, who looked in a different way, . He saw them kind, naive and innocent. He could see the goods in them because he acted on the first word, Love! The message was great. To talk about the direction, it's overall an average, sometimes down to the marks direction! The boy is a brilliant actor, with some help of a good director, he can deliver the goods.
