From the studio that produced ‘The Secret of Kells’ and 2020’s phenomenal ‘Wolfwalkers’ comes this animated (adult and child-friendly) wonder about a downtrodden young boy (voiced by Jacob Tremblay) who visits a fantastical faraway land and meets a whole host of wild characters, including a dragon (Gaten Matarazzo), a gorilla (Ian McShane), and a crocodile (Alan Cumming). It’s magical and beautiful and completely captivating.
