In the presence of Philippe Baylaucq
Once upon a time, a small village is plunged into darkness after Dragon Bijou eats the sun and the stars. Hugo, a village boy, flies into the sky and defeats the dragon. Hugo and the Dragon is a musical fantasy tale about adventure and discovery, and this film captures the imagination of kids everywhere.
