When I found Reluctant Dragon on video tape, I bought it. Now, I'm happy to have it on DVD. Maurie

I also felt the Reluctant Dragon short was one of my favorites. Well, you can't please everyone!

It is, however, fun to see the studio as it was before World War II. I bought these DVD's to get "The History of the Animated Drawing" in digital form since I use this program for my classes. Thanks again for checking out the discs, MouseBear
