Adapted from the book by Kenneth Grahame, this animated comedy is about villagers who believe all dragons are pests so they enlist the help of Sir Giles to dispose of one. But this dragon would rather read poetry than fight. Fight is staged in which the knight “wins” and the dragon becomes accepted as a pet. Originally part of a feature-length film released during the Disney animators’ strike of 1941.
