Synopsis
A little girl is out with her father to go for a toboggan ride on a super-snowy winter’s day. When Papa takes a call on his mobile, the youngster becomes impatient – but soon she finds herself on an exhilarating adventure through a mediæval world of castles and palaces, friendly dragons and knights in shining armour. ‘Dragon Sledge’ is an engaging celebration of the power of the imagination and of a father’s love for his daughter.
