How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A charming hybrid of live-action warmth and animated whimsy that captures the safety of found family and the magic of childhood friendship. Elliott the dragon is mischievous and endearing, his pranks and vanishing act drive much of the film's gentle humor, while the Maine seaside setting wraps everything in nostalgic comfort.
