Comments

Released as part of the feature film, "The Reluctant Dragon."

From Ryan : I remember seeing this cartoon as a kid. I absolutely loved it. It has been quite awhile since I've seen this cartoon. I've seen videos of it, but never seen it on the Disney Channel/Toon Disney. I wonder why.

From Melanie : This is the best movie ever! I used to watch it every day as a kid. And the best line: "Poor little upside down cake, your bottom is your top!"

From Rick Hewitt : Enjoyed it the first time I saw it. Didn't realize at the time that the originally released VHS had the Disney animation walkthrough as part of it. Everyone else either added Morris the Moose or left it with just Reluctant Dragon. Enjoy it even more since I've been able to pick up quite a bit or work in progress from part of the Thornton Hee (T Hee) estate through a dealer. Load of fun.

From Clara Bryant : Rating this a 10.. My children are now teenagers and I had to come online to find the name of this cartoon that they LOVED as little girls. And it was "The Reluctant Dragon." I am going to purchase it for them, if I can find them, to place in their hope chest for their kids one day. Love the movie.
