For My Father’s Dragon (based upon the 1948 book by Ruth Stiles Gannett) we’re in the territory of a fantasy adventure as metaphor for that moment as a child where you have to come to terms with the fact that your parents don’t always have all the answers when things look bleak. In retrospect, it was only a matter of time before they would adapt a classic piece of children’s literature.
Fables and folk tales are delivered with sincerity and delicacy, as well as a refusal to talk down to the younger end of their audience, free of the noise and clutter and attitude of other Western animated films, carefully paced yet full of youthful wonder even when the subject matter (as with their outstanding adaptation of The Breadwinner) veers heavy.
Across their acclaimed decade-long filmography, the Kilkenny house has demonstrated a refreshing commitment to traditional storytelling as well. When people talk about Irish animation studio Cartoon Saloon’s traditionalism, they’re not just talking about the exquisite 2D animation which has become their hallmark. As the sparks of a deadly conspiracy ignite, Enola must call upon the help of friends – and Sherlock himself – to unravel her mystery.Cartoon Saloon return with a poignant tale of a boy who sets out on a quest to find a dragon in peril. But this case proves to be far more puzzling than expected, as Enola is thrown into a dangerous new world – from London’s sinister factories and colorful music halls, to the highest echelons of society and 221B Baker Street itself. Resigned to accepting the cold realities of adulthood, she is about to close shop when a penniless matchstick girl offers Enola her first official job: to find her missing sister. “Fresh off the triumph of solving her first case, Enola Holmes (Millie Bobby Brown) follows in the footsteps of her famous brother, Sherlock (Henry Cavill), and opens her own agency – only to find that life as a female detective-for-hire isn’t as easy as it seems.
Brown returns as the plucky sister of Sherlock, and Henry Cavill will once again play the famous sleuth. As you anxiously wait for new adventures of Eleven, the trailer for the popular sequel to the Sherlock Holmes-inspired mystery, Enola Holmes 2. Netflix has your Millie Bobby Brown fix covered.
