What is Captain Sabertooth and the Countess of Grel about?
The notorious pirate captain sets off on a fresh voyage alongside his loyal crew member Raven, only to find their path blocked by a formidable new enemy. The Countess Sibylla commands a fearsome dragon, and she has every intention of using it to crush anyone who dares cross her. The two adventurers must rely on more than swords and cunning — their bond, their bravery, and one unlikely secret weapon may be all that stands between victory and disaster. Aimed squarely at younger audiences without sacrificing wit or spectacle, the film delivers sea battles, close calls, and plenty of humor wrapped around a story about what it truly means to stand by a friend when the odds are against you.
