Any fan of the Disney of yesteryear will love The Reluctant Dragon despite its questionable and outdated cultural references.

Every second is hilarious, using the limitless boundaries of animation to stretch reality, plausibility, and reasoning for extra laughs.

Excellent glimpse into how animation was made in the '40s.

This isn't really so much a movie as it is just an excuse to show the movie-going audience some of what goes into making an animated film. And you know what? That's absolutely fine by me.

One of the most fascinating, irregular curios in all the cobwebby corners of Disney history.
