My Father’s Dragon is a children’s novel by Ruth Stiles Gannett. It tells a moving story about friendship(友谊). Now the story has been made into a film.
Jacob Tremblay, 16, is the voice of Elmer Elevator. Elmer moves to a new city after his mother loses the family store. Elmer wants to help his mom so much that he runs off to Wild Island in search of Boris the dragon, voiced(配音) by Gaten Matarazzo. Elmer hopes the dragon can help him make some money for his mom.
The relationship between Elmer and Boris is at the heart of the film. Jacob said that his favorite part of voicing Elmer was working side-by-side in the studio(摄影棚) with Matarazzo. “To work with Matarazzo was so powerful. He’s such a good actor, and he’s so fun,” he says.
Elmer and Boris meet many different animals together. Each has its own personality(个性). One is a whale named Soda. If Jacob could voice another character in the film, which one would he pick? “I’d love to play Soda,” he says. “She’s just so lively and fun while Elmer is kind of serious.”
According to Jacob, the film offers valuable lessons. “It’s really important to care for your friends, and to really care about their feelings. It’s also important to make sure they’re comfortable and getting what they need,” he says.
