It’s corny, but that’s what makes it so damn charming.
An extremely wholesome and underrated gem from this era of Disney. Jim Dale makes a hilarious villain.
Hahaha soo good. I remember watching it as a kid
Some neat live action/animation blending effects. Story is sappy or hilarious, depending on your age.
Plot: heart-warming, characters: iconic, humor: brilliant, music: nothing but bangers. One of few family films actually great for everyone.
Somewhat strange, old and forgotten family movie. Cartoon dragon, songs, caricature villains, classic structure — unmistakably Disney
Average Disney movie for it’s time Musics catchy characters are likeable.
It's the Disney original, & good fun 2 C B4 the remake if U have both even if just 2 compare. Bizarre though that no songs were kept 4 both!
Poor boy got schizophrenia and spead it to the whole town
One of the most personally nostalgic films for me. 4 star bias, but the pacing was def subpar. 10x better than the remake, sans dragon CGI.
