The Dragon Spell is a 2016 Ukrainian 3D animated fantasy film directed by Manuk Depoyan based on Anton Siyanika's fairy tale of the same name. The film is about a young boy named Nicky, who saves the magical world and humans from evil.

Production

The development of the project, initially called "Mykyta Kozhumyak and the Fire Flower", began in 2007, but after pre-production, the entire process of computer graphics production had to be completely changed, for which the investors did not have enough money.

Film production resumed in 2011 by Panama Grand Prix, with support from Ukrainian investors and Derzhkino, amounting to 4 million hryvnias—one-fifth of the cartoon's total budget. The director of the film, Manuk Depoyan, said that a team of several hundred people actively worked on the creation of the film for two years.

The film was finished in 2016, and several changes, along with international experience, allowed for a significant enhancement in the appearance of the characters and all scenes in the cartoon's final version. Interestingly, both "frames" and soundtracks from the first versions of the cartoon and from the final work published in 2016 are circulating on the internet.

The script of the film was written in English so that it could be later edited/adapted by American screenwriters to make the dialogues and scenes more emotional and real. Similarly, the film itself was shot in English in the original, due to the fact that dubbing in English after Ukrainian dubbing is much more difficult than vice versa, due to the specifics of English phonetics and vocabulary.

The music for the film was written by Serhiy Krutsenko. An orchestra consisting of 62 people was also involved. 7 songs were recorded especially for the film, the main one of which is performed by singer Zlata Ognevich.
