Who is "Princess Dragon", the fire-breathing girl?

• "Dragon Princess" looks like a real young girl, but she is the daughter of a fire-breathing reptile.

• His friendship for a human princess will make them both grow.

• Their animated adventures are as poetic as they are rhythmic.

Pure happiness made in France.

The animated film

, from the Ankama studio, tells the story of Poil, a girl with green hair and a human look who spits flames like her dragon daddy has all the assets to seduce the little ones as well as the adults. .

"I wrote this film for my daughters," explains one of the two directors Anthony Roux to

.

Poil is a courageous child, half girl, half dragon, but she takes refuge in her egg as soon as you take her out of her comfort zone.

This is where she learns to grow.

The friendship that the little girl has with a human princess with a strong character helps them both to mature.

A heroine full of life

Poil is an original name for a heroine and it makes her even more endearing. “His dragon father calls him that because of his green mane: he had never seen a dragon with hair,” explains Anthony Roux. He does not know what to do with this hybrid child who does not look like his brothers. Parental love is one of the topics covered by the film, which features beautiful supporting characters like a clever witch and an infuriating suitor the princess soon sent out for a walk. “We did not try to convey a feminist message, insists the filmmaker, but it is certain that the girls in the film are strong. "

For this tonic tale, the directors of

(2018) and

(2016) made the judicious choice of 2D or traditional animation. "It was risky because the public is now used to the 3D aesthetic of the big American studios and it is difficult to attract them to something else", recognizes Anthony Roux. It would be a shame to deprive oneself of the magical world of

which evokes that of Hayao Miyazaki and his legendary studio Ghibli. "It is true that, when she is small, Poil looks a bit like Ponyo", admits the filmmaker. The constant enthusiasm of the charming heroine as well as her curiosity also leads to comparison.

At Christmas time, when quality animated films are plentiful, the adorable

deserves to meet audiences for her vitality and charm.

Its authors are preparing a new film in the same type of universe, which will only see the light of day if it is a success.

We hope so, of course.
