The Calico Dragon is a 1935 animated short film (8 minutes) by Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising. It was one of the Happy Harmonies shorts that Harman and Ising made for MGM. A little girl falls asleep while reading a fairy tale about a dragon that held a princess captive in a castle.
Composer for the prime-era 'Tom and Jerry' cartoons and regular Tex Avery composer Scott Bradley provides a lush and atmospheric music score. It is hard not to fall in love with the irresistibly adorable dragon, and it has enough likeability and personality to not be dull.
