Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is a remake of a 1957 DEFA classic that traumatized multiple generations of East German children; the original's sinister puppet dragon remains legendary.
The 2016 version softens the original's genuinely dark psychological edge, trading existential dread for sparkly TV-movie coherence — arguably missing the point entirely.
