Michael Morpurgo narrates this short animation adapted from his own book.
Apparently the story was inspired by a trip to Switzerland he once did. Morpurgo saw village children in red hats, making loud noises such as banging drums to drive away wicked spirits.
The story is simple and charming. Mimi is a young girl who hard speaks. When she finds a baby dragon she makes a perilous journey to reunite the dragon with its mother.
It is a story of understanding one another rather than be overtaken by fear. As the village folk get ready to frighten away the dragon, they discover that a fire breathing dragon can be handy when it comes to melting snow. It is Mimi who helps bring everyone together.
The animation is good and rather detailed for a television production. Children would certainly like it.
