Distributor Park Soo Entertainment announced on the 13th that "'Little Dragon: The Secret of Monster Island' has been confirmed for an August release." "Little Dragon" raised anticipation by unveiling its main poster alongside the release news.
“Little Dragon” is a “Mission: Impossible”-style escape adventure animation in which “Rufi,” a tiny sea dragon who sets out on an adventure to save Monster Island, escapes a giant zoo with new friends and embarks on a mission that will determine the island’s fate.
Based on a beloved Nordic children’s book, “Little Dragon” is an animated film that vividly brings warm imagination and a spirit of adventure to the screen. It has also garnered attention as a well-crafted family animation after being invited to prestigious international film festivals, including the Schlingel International Children’s and Youth Film Festival, the Lübeck Nordic Film Festival, and the Hong Kong Summer Family Film Festival.
“Rufi,” a tiny sea dragon who may be a poor swimmer but possesses more courage than anyone else, sets out on his first adventure beyond the sea to save Monster Island. However, he finds himself in an unexpected crisis on unfamiliar land and begins a rescue mission to free his friends trapped in a giant zoo. Combining a thrilling adventure with the antics of its delightful characters, the film promises to be a family-friendly animation that children and the whole family can enjoy together.
The newly released main poster instantly captures attention with the tagline: “Swimming: Terrible! Courage: Awesome! The Little Sea Dragon’s First Land Landing Mission!” The playful sight of “Lupie” and his animal friends perched atop a giant whale sparks curiosity about what adventures they’ll embark on beyond the sea.
Additionally, the sight of a massive sea dragon emerging from the water hints at the hidden secrets surrounding Monster Island and the even grander scale of the adventure. The diverse characters moving between land and sea heighten anticipation for the special escape mission that “Lupie” will undertake.
Excitement is building to see what kind of fun and emotion “Little Dragon,” set to join the summer blockbuster battle, will bring to audiences.
