This lighthearted story follows the adventures of a brave young boy who, emboldened by tales of brave knights, decides to pursue the horrible dragon that is terrifying the villagers. But what he discovers is a surprisingly friendly dragon that is more interested in reciting poetry and making music than devouring fair damsels. Will the boy be able to stop the local hero before he challenges the dragon to a fiery battle? (official distributor synopsis)

It's nice and somewhat poignantly poetic, but it doesn't particularly stand out as a film in any significant way. I'm talking specifically about a short film that's around fifteen minutes long - it's mostly presented as a collection of stories. The Reluctant Dragon has entertaining scenes and certainly had its charms in its time. Today, it's surpassed, and even in its animation, you can see that it's not flawless.
