comment |
A 25-minute adaptation of a children's book by Michael Morpurgo, made in 2019 and shown on CBBC. Narrated by Morpurgo himself, it tells the story of a shy young girl named Mimi who discovers a baby dragon in her family's shed and attempts to return it to its mother, the titular Mountain Dragon who lives at the top of the highest peak of the mountain range (implied to be the Swiss Alps) in which Mimi's village is located. |

The Quiet One: Mimi can talk but she is so shy that no one ever hears her so she has given up trying. |

comment |
Guile Hero: Mimi uses her ability to remember her flute-playing skills off by heart to dissuade the Mountain Dragon from attacking her (or even killing or eating her) to save her own life and singing the song she's been playing throughout the film to prevent a final confrontation between the Mountain Dragon and the villagers, saving the village. |

| | Mimi and the Mountain Dragon / int_3e353a08 |
comment |
Accidental Kidnapping: Sort of, it's never explained how the baby dragon ended up in Mimi's family's shed but it is safe to say this is the impression the Mountain Dragon gets when Mimi returns her baby to her, given the interactions between mother and child upon reunion. |
