Liberace wasn't as gay as this dragon.

Should be known as "The Extremely Gay Dragon and the Old Queen"

Baby Weems was lame, Goofy's bit was okay but far from "ha-ha funny", quite in line with Disney's usual shorts. Reluctant Dragon is an underappreciated gem that today looks unsubtlely like a gay love story. The vivid live-action segments, which give a Wonka-esque look at Disney's animation department as gawked at and stumbled through by a tremendous ass, are strange and wonderful. The feature-length package is a must-see.

A tour through the Walt Disney Studios is the frame containing an animated version of Kenneth Graham's classic story. Benchley is somewhat of a bore, but Frances"Jungle Girl" Gifford is charming and the classic animated centerpiece of the show is one of the studio's best: 100 percent delightful

An absolute must-see for film fans and historians. A thoroughly entertaining pseudo-documentary on the process of early animation. I can't believe I hadn't seen this movie before.

Having watched this with my kids, I'm surprised at just how much of it's humour had stuck with me. The version of Disney+ includes a tour through various departments of the studio at the time that's very charming for anyone who's interested in how the sausage is made.

I have no clue how I missed this gem of a story for so many years. It is family friendly but I do not feel like younger children would really enjoy it unless they are really into how movies are made. I found the insight into early movies being made fascinating along with the bits of comedy.
