Skip it tonight unless you've got kids in the room. Wish Dragon is a competent but forgettable animated adventure that hits every predictable beat of the 'magical wish goes wrong' formula without any real wit or charm to distinguish it. You've seen this story a dozen times, and you'll forget it by tomorrow.

Plot

Determined teen Din is longing to reconnect with his childhood best friend when he meets a wish-granting dragon who shows him the magic of possibilities.
