English Summary:
The Reluctant Dragon is a 1941 American film produced by Walt Disney, directed by Alfred Werker, and released by RKO Radio Pictures on June 20, 1941. Essentially a tour of the then-new Walt Disney Studios facility in Burbank, California, the film stars radio comedian Robert Benchley and many Disney staffers such as Ward Kimball, Fred Moore, Norman Ferguson, Clarence Nash, and Walt Disney, all as themselves.
The film starts at Robert Benchley's home as he plays in his swimming pool, shooting darts at toy ducks. It turns out that he is delaying in trying to sell the rights of The Reluctant Dragon to studio head Walt Disney. Benchley's wife finally convinces him to approach Disney so they drive to the Walt Disney Studios. There, she leaves him at the studio gate while she goes shopping.
The cartoon starts with an introduction by the narrator of the story. One of the main characters, The Boy, who is reading a book about knights and bloodthirsty dragons, is introduced. His father comes rushing by, claiming to have seen a monster. The Boy reassures his father that it was only a dragon, to which the father panics and runs to the village in fear.
The Boy then goes to the Dragon's lair, where he is confronted not by a ferocious beast, but a shy, poetry-loving creature. Though surprised at seeing what a nice creature the Dragon is, the Boy befriends him. When he arrives back at the village, the Boy discovers that Sir Giles the Dragon slayer has arrived. He runs to tell the Dragon that he should fight him, only to be left disappointed when the Dragon announces that he never fights. The Boy visits Sir Giles (not St. George as in the original story), and it is revealed that Sir Giles is an old man. The Boy tells Sir Giles that the Dragon will never fight and they decide to visit him.
Hungarian Summary:
A kelletlen sárkány egyszerre szórakoztató és tanulságos: méltó tagja a csupa klasszikust tartalmazó Disney rajzfilmgyűjteménynek!
A vidám történet hőse egy álmodozó fiatalember, aki annyira felbuzdul a bátor lovagokról szóló meséken, hogy felkerekedik és a környéket rémületben tartó sárkány nyomába ered. Igen ám, de akire rábukkan, nem félelmetes szörnyeteg, hanem egy barátságos sárkány, aki inkább verseket mond, minthogy védtelen dámákat faljon fel. Vajon sikerül a fiúnak megállítani a helyi hőst, mielőtt az halálos bajvívásra hívja ki új barátját?
