The Dragon Slayer

The Dragon Slayer features a story about Sir Evans, a knight who battles dragons with the help of his squire, D.I.R.P. The animation tells a dual narrative, contrasting the mythical dragons faced by Sir Evans with the modern-day insecurities of Ed Blevins, showcasing how both characters find protection through their respective armors.

Produced by John Sutherland Productions and commissioned by Du Pont, this film serves as a creative explanation of the company's security plan for its employees. The film combines humor with a lesson about self-protection and corporate support, making it a distinct piece in the animation genre. Collectors may appreciate its unique blend of animation and corporate storytelling, as well as its place in the early career of Bill Melendez, known for his later work with Peanuts.
