A Gullible Dragon

About This Movie

A Gullible Dragon is an interesting little piece from '88 that really leans into its animation roots. The story revolves around Grandpa and his not-so-ordinary pet, a dragon that hatches from an egg – and let's just say this dragon has a knack for getting into all sorts of trouble. The atmosphere feels light and whimsical, but there’s an underlying warmth in the way it explores themes of companionship and trust. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it adds to the charm. The practical effects are quite notable, especially for the era, giving the dragon a tangible presence. Performances are decent, especially from the voice cast, which lend a certain earnestness to the quirky narrative. It's distinctive for its simple yet endearing concept.
