Tiny Review: My Father's Dragon 2022. My Father's Gaten Matarazzo.

Fans of Gaten Matarazzo should not miss this one. Even if it's a kids show. His scenes are comedic as heck.

The simple conflicts and complications, artstyle and characters, actually would make this a good sidescrolling story-based game.

Oh! I didn't realise this is from the same producers of The Secret of Kells, Song of the Sea, and Wolf Walkers, until just before uploading this post 😂

My Father's Dragon is a 2022 animated fantasy adventure comedy film directed by Nora Twomey with a screenplay by Meg LeFauve who co-wrote the story with John Morgan. It is based on the 1948 children's novel of the same name by Ruth Stiles Gannett.  

It stars the voices of 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.

A Smiling million - right to the penny, for that's what the combined yearly salary of this beaming group of 17 paramount stars amounts to. In case the sight of so much money made you blink, we'll identify them for you. Top row, left to right: Stuart Erwin, Eugene Pallette, Clive Brook, Kay Francis, Gary Cooper, Jack Oakie, Skeets Gallagher, William Boyd. Second row: Richard Arlen, Carole Lombard, Wynne Gibson, Rosita Moreno, Norman Foster, Sylvia Sidney, Lilyan Tashman. Mitzi Green and Jackie Searl are the youngsters in front.

My Father’s Dragon (2022)

Kilkenny, Ireland-based Cartoon Saloon has now released its last two films in collaboration with companies more interested in maintaining their streaming services than granting a significant theatrical release. Wolfwalkers (2020), a production alongside Apple TV+, was an excellent addition to the studio’s Irish folklore triptych, and understandably few theaters showed it due to COVID-19 pandemic closures. Nora Twomey’s My Father’s Dragon is a Netflix feature, and this is her first directorial effort since The Breadwinner (2017). With a similarly nominal theatrical release, My Father’s Dragon also represents another departure from all of Cartoon Saloon’s feature films thus far: it is specifically for a younger audience. I dislike the prevalent conflation of animated filmmaking as children’s entertainment (whether by those who write about films or filmmakers themselves), but this is an adaptation of Ruth Stiles Gannett’s book of the same name (itself a runner-up for the Newbery Medal, which honors American children’s literature).

My Father’s Dragon is visually striking, although it contains some of Cartoon Saloon’s most simplistic character design yet. But what makes this the studio’s most prosaic work yet are its tonal inconsistencies, noticeably modern sense of humor, and a conventional resolution to the central drama.

Elmer Elevator (Jacob Tremblay) and mother Dela (Golshifteh Farahani) move to a big city when their small-town candy store forecloses in difficult economic times. Money is short, and a distant Dela spends much of her time looking for stable work in order to help open a new store. Soon, Elmer encounters a talking cat (Whoopi Goldberg), who suggests that he might travel to faraway Wild Island to kidnap the lone dragon that lives there, and use the dragon for entertainment and exhibition purposes. With help from Soda the Whale (Judy Greer) and Saiwa the Gorilla (Ian McShane), Elmer travels to Wild Island and tracks down the dragon. The situation on Wild Island is more perilous than first impressions suggest, as Elmer befriends the young and immature dragon, Boris (Gaten Matarazzo) in order to address the situation.

All the animals on Wild Island are anything but nightmare-inducing, so younger viewers will probably be remarking how cute or cool the primates (Chris O’Dowd and Jackie Earle Haley), the rhino (Dianne Wiest), the crocodile (Alan Cumming), and the tigers (Leighton Meester and Spence Moore II) appear.

We do not see much of Dela after the opening minutes of the film, but her and Elmer’s character designs are a development from what viewers saw in The Breadwinner as opposed to Cartoon Saloon’s Irish folklore triptych. The oval faces and oftentimes half crescent/quasi-crescent eyes of the two human characters (and, strangely enough, Boris) in My Father’s Dragon are not quite enough to evoke responses that seem emotional enough for the moment. Acting teachers will say – and this is true for animated characters as well – that emotion typically precipitates an action (not the inverse of this). The degree of that action is up to the actor or, in this case, the animator. Too often, the human and the animal characters – in moments of distress, peril, and relief – are too still when expressing themselves. Frowns, tears, and anguished shouting convey only so much; through bodily movement and facial expressions do films, animated or otherwise, provoke an emotional response from a viewer. Twomey’s animators closely replicate Boris from how he appeared in Gannett’s book. But in that replication, they produce an inelastic character design that lends humor and a sense of fun, but largely incapable of handling pathos – which invariably harms the film’s closing act.

Gannett’s My Father’s Dragon lies somewhere between a picture book for the youngest children and a chapter book for students in the middle of primary school. At just over eighty pages, it is an abbreviated plot that sees Elmer encounter the dragon only in the final ten pages. The episodic nature of Gannett’s book makes the book difficult to adapt for screenwriter Meg LeFauve (2015’s Inside Out and The Good Dinosaur). LeFauve elects to understandably introduce Boris much earlier in the narrative and to introduce a catastrophic crisis to Wild Island that frames most of Elmer’s time there. Without spoiling much, such a calamity is nowhere to be found in Gannett’s original work, and one detects the influence of the interchangeable, humanity-threatening stakes from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Was this sense of world-ending danger necessary? If one is targeting the audience that would also read My Father’s Dragon, the film’s climax is much too intense for them. Gannett’s book is defined by episodic, child-friendly peril from the animals (i.e., hungry carnivores that have peculiar quirks and can be reasoned with) and not existential stakes. Converting My Father’s Dragon away from an episodic narrative might be the primary narrative concern for most, but the counter to this is that LeFauve’s adapted screenplay dispenses with Gannett’s gentle wit that can delight those of any age.

Thus, Nora Twomey’s My Father’s Dragon can be a clamorous work that shows none of the patience – for its characters and viewers – of any of Cartoon Saloon’s previous work. Despite some impressive backgrounds (the most polished ever seen in the studio’s work) and wonderful color palette, no amount of visual mastery can cover up a screenplay that is trying too much to draw out laughs from Boris’ emotional immaturity. This writing tactic – in which modern screenwriters attempt to placate supposedly gratification-hungry viewers with one garrulous punchline-spewing character – is something I associate with the major American animation studios.

Another characteristic of My Father’s Dragon that seems more characteristic to its mainstream American peers is the presence of an all-star voice cast that does little to no modification of their typical vocal inflections while recording for the film. It is distracting to hear Whoopi Goldberg, Dianne Wiest, Rita Moreno (as the Elevators’ landlord), and Matarazzo (who essentially plays a character not too far removed from his character of Dustin in Stranger Things) acquit themselves in this manner. Too little thought has gone into how can they best voice their characters, given their characters’ appearances and the situations of the moment. Are these developments – the hyperactive and comedy-seeking writing, merely adequate voice acting, and declarations about courage and the Power of Friendship – indicative of Netflix’s influence over Cartoon Saloon’s approach to this adaptation of My Father’s Dragon? Or is it a sign of things to come for the Irish studio?

Whatever the case, this is a disappointing fifth effort from Cartoon Saloon over the last thirteen years. Given the standards of their previous work, the studio deserves mercy from further barbs from yours truly. The missteps seen in My Father’s Dragon pale in comparison to some of the work that the likes of Disney, DreamWorks, and especially Illumination have offered in recent years, The tenor of Cartoon Saloon’s upcoming work appears, at least for the new future, to be similar to that seen in My Father’s Dragon. Up next for the studio is a feature film treatment for their children’s television series Puffin Rock (on Netflix in the U.S.) and Louise Bagnall’s directorial feature debut in Julián (adapted from the picture book Julián is a Mermaid by Jessica Love; Bagnall previously directed the Academy Award-nominated short film Late Afternoon for Cartoon Saloon).

As for Nora Twomey – one of the co-founders of Cartoon Saloon alongside Tomm Moore and Paul Young – she remains a figure in animated cinema to keep an eye out for. The co-director for The Secret of Kells (2009) and sole director on The Breadwinner has shown her ability to guide projects along with emotionally and thematically nuanced narratives and stunning visual splendor. And though My Father’s Dragon represents the first miscue on the former element, Cartoon Saloon’s animation remains a visual balm in an industry that, at least among those that financially dominate animated filmmaking, is as far away from hand-drawn work as it ever has been.

Breaking down that "which actor/singer are you" scene from chapter 4

I was gonna write this after I was done with the whole thing but fuck it. I'm damn proud of it and I want to let all of you in on the layers:

"“I’m just tryna figure out which member of the rat pack you are.” Tommy ponders, using his spoon to gesture in his direction. Sal poses jokingly, before eventually just giving up and pointing at his eyes. “Mmm, too obvious.” Tommy says with a quirk of his eyebrow. “Even ole Blue Eyes has got nothin’ on you in that department.”"

Ok so this is when the options are limited to just the members of the Rat Pack, There's no universally agreed upon list of who was in the Rat Pack, but generally it includes the likes of Dean Martin, Peter Lawford, Sammy Davis Jr., and most famously Frank Sinatra, whose nickname was 'Ol' Blue Eyes'. So he's saying Sal's eyes are prettier than the man who is famous for having gorgeous blue eyes. More down bad-ism on display from our dear Tommy Kinard.

So Tommy broadens his sights to classic Hollywood in general.

""Sal knows whatever he’s about to say is gonna be equal parts bitchy and adorable. “Brando.” Tommy nods, sure of himself. “Definitely Brando.” Sal brings one hand under his chin, doing his best smolder.""

So Brando is one of Hollywood's most famous Hound dogs and he was an equal opportunity hound dog. his affairs included Rita Moreno, James Dean (apparently they were like SUPER kinky), Jackie Kennedy, and indeed, legendary comedian Richard Pryor. He was also known for his cocky smoldery attitude. Tommy making this comparison is an indicator that he likes Sal and is super attracted to him, but doesn't really take him seriously as a long term romantic prospect. That list of affairs I mentioned? He was married during most of them.

Another layer to this is that Sal compared himself to Sinatra and Tommy compared him to Brando who notoriously HATED each other. Brando stole the role Sinatra wanted in the movie version of Guys and Dolls. Now funny enough, the role Sinatra ended up having was as a kind of lovable goofy guy who is actually deeply in love with the woman he's with but has strung her along for 14 years because he's too afraid to come out and commit to his own feelings. She ends up pushing him away and breaking up with him because she doesn't believe he's ever going to actually choose her (hmmm now what couple does that remind us of?)

As an aside, I actually think Sal and Tommy have a lot more in common with Brando's character Sky and his love interest Sarah. Sky, like Sal, is a hound dog who is really surprised to find himself in love. Sarah, like Tommy, is a romantic who is really surprised to find herself SUPER turned on and attracted to this guy she knows is wrong for her. But that's not really relevant, so moving on.

So Sal gets all up in his feelings and doesn't object to the Brando comparison. Which could mean nothing....

He turns his thoughts to picking out a comparison for Tommy. His first thought is Cary Grant, but he puts a caveat that it will make more sense when Tommy is older. He specifically singles out the North by Northwest Suit, which is widely considered to be the most perfect suit that has ever been created. This is basically him saying "I think Tommy will age so gracefully he will turn into the epitome of Suaveness."

He also eliminates the idea of Bogart, who was known for his very moody/broody personality. It's a little bit ironic, because back in Chapter 1 when they ran into each other at the wedding, Tommy's mind went immediately to Bogart's most famous broody line. This is Sal not realizing the sheer negativity happening in Tommy's subconscious. He registers Tommy's tenseness, but not necessarily the sadness its masking.

He also disqualifies Clark Gable for being too smarmy. This is honestly just him saying he thinks Tommy's coolness comes from being kind and not from being a cocky asshole.

"He throws out “Peter Lorre.” to buy himself more time. “You dick.” Tommy huffs, tossing a few more pieces of cereal for good measure."

Now this truly broke my heart when I wrote it. So Peter Lorre was famous for playing kind of effeminate gremliny little dudes. He also tends to play characters that kind of cling to the hero of the movie, like an unwanted hanger on. Now for Sal, he says it specifically because the idea of Tommy being like that is so ridiculous. but for Tommy, who has all these hang ups about being the lonely "not anybody's first choice" kind of guy, I think Tommy thinks Sal is being serious on some level.

"Sal smiles when he finds his answer. Sweet, kind, dark haired, beautiful. He runs his tongue over his lips, building up his nerves. “Rock,” He commits, “Rock Hudson.” Tommy tilts his head a little, he seems almost touched. Sal sees a cloud come over Tommy’s face that he wants to physically push away with his hands, but it's just as quickly replaced with a goading smile. “Is that a fucking gay joke?!” Tommy barks."

Ok so firstly, this answer comes to you courtesy of @mannafromtevan who provided the magic ingredient to this scene without even knowing it. Rock Hudson was a dark haired, very sweet, sort of boy next door-y type. This comparison is Sal seeing Tommy's big heart and kind demeanor and telling him so. It's probably the most honest Sal has been about how he feels about Tommy since their relationship began.

So why does Tommy get that dark cloud? Well as we've established if he can interpret things in a doomed/sad way, he will. Rock Hudson was closeted. Most of his fellow actors knew and protected him like Julie Andrews, Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor etc. But when the AIDS crisis hit and he contracted the virus, he couldn't really hide it when he got sick.

He was essentially the first well known celebrity to publicly die of AIDS, and so again Tommy hears "doomed queer, never getting a happy ending" over all the other sweet things Sal is trying to say.

In summary, this scene is a big old red flag saying "Hey! you guys are ignoring/not seeing key facets of the other's personality!" and also that Tommy's doom spiral is very much in progress as he keeps latching on to the most negative possible meaning of Sal's words.

I think that's everything! Thank you for coming to my info dump/director audio commentary. And I'm sorry again for the trauma I have caused you all with that last scene. Never fear Saltommy friends, they'll get there eventually.

This movie is fantastic, I loved every second of it! Yes, it's very clearly a proto-Rockford Files but every single second was fun so dammit, it nearly cracks the top 3 Marlowe movies.

It’s a solid adaptation of The Little Sister, especially given it obviously didn’t have Chandler’s involvement and they modernized the story to a contemporary LA. Even being brought 20 years into the future, the story held up and was treated with respect.

James Garner, who I have always loved, played a pretty great Marlowe. He was a good investigator, appropriately antagonistic with the police, and really seemed to just want to help people. If I have one complaint it’s that he had a little too much bravado, but hey, that’s just James Garner. I loved the little detail of him smoking a pipe like Marlowe did in the books, this is the only adaptation that does that.

But the best thing this movie has going for it is the supporting cast. Not only is Bruce Lee in it in one of his earliest American film roles (is his character in the book? No. do I care? Also no.) in one of the best small roles in the movie, William Daniels (hey, Mr. Feeny!) appears in a couple of short but very strong scenes. And really stealing the show is Rita Moreno! Her chemistry with Garner is off the charts and she does a literal strip tease that will melt your socks off.

Overall movie score: 4/5, mostly for the supporting cast

Marlowe score: 3.5/5, Garner did a really good job as Marlowe but he had just a little too much bravado, what are you gonna do?

Perry Mason score: 4.5/5 for having 3 actors (Jackie Coogan, H.M. Wynant, and Kenneth Tobey) who appeared in a whopping 9 combined episodes

For a reminder of why I started this series and how I’m rating these movies, you can check out my master Marlowe post. I’ll be posting my reviews/rankings of the remaining Marlowe movies using the tag #Marlowe movies so if you’re interested, follow along!

sneak peak of LA guard dog pt. 2 because i find it amusing that Coco reliably hits on milfs:

“Sure thing.” The Corinthian hands her the car keys while she jams her feet into sneakers. “Don’t worry, Rosebud, we can hold down the fort.” She laughs, bounces on her toes to kiss his cheek. Then she’s gone, and the house is quiet. Well, except for the dog. It scratches at the front door and looks up at him hopefully. Corinthian curls his lip at it, but the dog is too far removed from its more capable ancestors to read that as a threat, and it waggles its hips in response. Play? Out? It gives a thready whine. Need. He snags the leash from its hook by the door. The dog pisses as soon as its paws touch the scrubby front lawn, so Rose’s intuition was correct on that front. The Corinthian is tempted to just take the animal back inside, except then it darts after a crow with a surprisingly loud bark and, well, those are the kinds of instincts that should be encouraged. Of course, the crow takes flight, but the dog isn’t discouraged, just turns its nose to the ground and starts sniffing for new prey. The Corinthian follows behind at a leisurely pace. “Billie,” as Rose keeps reminding him, “she has a name,” except it doesn’t have legs, not really—Billie trots with single-minded focus. Its long sausage body is good for poking into gopher holes and under bushes. It’d be useful for ferreting out rats or foxes, if either of those were a problem here. As is, it manages to snag a half-empty package of fries and hork down a couple before the Corinthian can wrestle the bag away. “Puppies keep you on your toes,” says a raspy voice. The Corinthian turns. Gives a little wave. “Hey, Mrs. Moreno. You do something new with your hair? It’s looking good.” “Psh. Flatterer.” But the older woman pats at her curls, framed with a colorful headband. “Didn’t I tell you to call me Jackie?” She did, when he first encountered her during his initial scope of the neighborhood. He hasn’t taken her up on it, mostly because her greenish eyes sparkle whenever he drawls her surname or calls her “ma’am.” Jacqueline has the voice of someone who started smoking as a teenager and hasn’t stopped despite her doctor’s best efforts. She sits on her porch at odd hours but always spares a friendly word for Rose. If the Corinthian were hunting her, he’d take her out to Employees Only for drinks and K-town for karaoke. He imagines those honey-flecked irises taste like an appletini. His smile widens. “Now where would a Southern gentleman be without his manners?” Jacqueline’s gaze travels slow and deliberate over his body. “Mm, I’m sure you’d get by.” “Yeah?” She waves a hand at him. “I’m not gonna stroke your vanity unless you stroke something of mine—and I know you belong to that sweet Walker girl. Is that her dog? Doesn’t seem your type.” “What’s my type?” Her grin is all teeth. “Some kinda hound.” She clucks at the dog and it, idiot creature, runs straight for her, tail wagging. “What’s her name?” “Billie.” “Lady Day. I’m more of a Vaughn girl, don’t tell your friend. Though I’ve got some records if she ever wants to listen.” “I’ll let her know.” The Corinthian watches as the dog wriggles with joy at her attention. Jacqueline laughs at its antics, flops its velvet ears between her fingers. The lines at the corners of her eyes crinkle. “Her mom was a big Holiday fan, apparently.” He’s not sure what makes him offer this tidbit. Maybe the hope that a human will know what it means, clue him in to its significance. But Jacqueline just hums, moves her hand to rub the dog’s belly as it rolls onto its back. Her acrylic nails scritch gentle, gentle on that exposed flesh in a way that makes the Corinthian’s eye teeth ache.

More than one threat looms over Cair Mallplex: the raging dust storm and the huge shadow of Elizabeth Haven snuff out the last of the wan light. And there’s no escaping the specters of the past that have arrived. Featuring a one-off nickname, a mystery solved, and a question of what it means to be human.
