short story by Canadian director and producer Bruce Stacey ("God Rocks!," "Journey to
Christmas"), "Ice Dragon: Legend of the Blue
Daisies" will premiere in U.S. cinemas for a two-day-only

adventures of Melody, a gifted young dreamer, and her feisty friend
Leif, as they work together to save their village from a menacing
dragon.

"The original story sat in my drawer for more than 20 years
until I was encouraged by friends at Cartoon Conrad Productions
(Kulipari-Netflix Original Series) to dust it off and adapt it for
the screen," Director and Producer Bruce Stacey said. "I am
thrilled this family adventure is making it to the big screen for
audiences nationwide to enjoy."
Melody, a gifted young dreamer, and her feisty friend Leif must
set aside their differences and use the power of magical Blue
Daisies and an ancient Song to save their world from an evil Ice
Dragon. When the blue flowers that once bloomed all around her
village began to disappear, Melody and her eccentric grandfather
recognize this as a sign of great danger... but no one believes
them! Racing against time, Melody must convince Leif and the other
villagers before it's too late.
Starring the voice talents of Rheal
Rees (Melody), Justin Debé (Leif) and
Bill Bray (Nicholai), "Ice
Dragon: Legend of the Blue Daisies" features original
songs and engaging characters that highlight this inspiring
animated adventure for the whole family.
"The best part of the event cinema experience is being able to
enjoy it with the whole family," Ray
Nutt, CEO of Fathom Events said. "This inspirational feature
offers a vibrant interactive experience for young and old fans
alike. 'Ice Dragon: Legend of the Blue Daisies' will
bring families together in faith, hope and fun, all at their local
cinema."
