Writer/director Lowery reveals, “I
look back on childhood as an adventure, and I wanted to capture that
on screen in the smallest—but also the biggest—way.” The
big—the creation of an irresistible 24-foot tall, green, furry
dragon that can breathe fire and turn invisible—is brilliantly
tackled by the team at the Academy Award®-winning visual effects
company Weta Digital (“The Hobbit” films and “The Lord of the
Rings” trilogy). But it’s the small moments between characters
that so beautifully convey the film’s powerful message: the
importance of friendship, family and finding one’s place in the
world.
