I was randomly sifting through films on Amazon Prime and came across this title. Thought I'd give it a whirl and was so pleased I did! I knew it had me hooked when I stopped fast forwarding (it's only a ten second jump) very early in the film. There is something about the scenery and 'feel' of the island that made it almost mystical. They haven't overdone the CGI; the dragon is realistic and beautiful. The acting is superb and the music lovely. The song Mira sings towards the end is magical and beautifully conveys the deep longing in her heart. If you like dragons, fantasy, and romance, this is a must.

I Welsh so dragons are a big thing in my life, I lived with story's of dragons since I was a kid and to see a love story with a dragon not played as a villain was a delight. Effects were dam good, well acted by a young cast who I can see great thanks from in the furtue. I will say this Disney are always looking they next big princess film and maybe they found one ready and waiting here.

This movie is a great example of a toxic relationship that is so prevalent in the Russian culture. The woman is abused, saved then abused again, yet she gifts unconditional love that "saves" the marriage. This movie completely romanticized the idea of a woman turning a boy into a man. Her biggest reward is a child. As a human she did not contribute to humanity other than helping a sick man fight his insecurities. Classic Russian culture female oppression and perpetuality of a man's inability to be responsible for his own actions. The scape goat is a rough, cruel history and the environment Russian culture endured for hundreds of years. The dragon is an unloved child with a broken childhood. Boohoo! Poor Russian men. It is ok if they beat their wives. They had a bad mother. Pathetic!!! Too sad so many Russian women fall for it.

You will love this movie! A very pleasant surprise!
