009 The Calico Dragon

Tittle: "The Calico Dragon"
Release year: 1935
Series: Happy Harmonies
Directed by Rudolf Ising (uncredited)
Produced by Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising

Story: A little girl reads a story about a dragon; as she falls asleep, her doll rides off on his calico horse (and calico dog) through a calico land to do battle with a three-headed singing calico dragon.

Trivia:

* Academy Award nominee
* The little girl's dreamland seems to be full of underwear: as the calico knight sets off on his quest, birds are seen nesting in the cups of a brassiere; the "bridge" across the stream is a corset; and the "castle" in which the Calico Dragon lives is a "union suit."

My rating: 3 stars. Better cartoon that previous ones. I like the visual style of it.
