This is a one shot short from the UPA studio. There will be spoilers ahead:
This is an exceptionally cute cartoon done by UPS about a Scottish boy named Georgie and a dragon he meets. Georgie very much wants a pet, but his father, a rather dour fellow, is adamantly opposed to a pet of any kind, instead saying the only thing the boy needs is "responsibility".
Georgie brings the dragon home, hides him and asks his father to let him have a pet. His father says no and remains totally oblivious to the increasingly obvious signs of a growing dragon in his home.
Most of the short centers around the potential hazards of having a dragon who breathes fire around a small family home. Neither of Georgie's parents even notices the dragon, though the mother thinks Georgie should have a pet. I suspect Georgie could just bring a pet home, remain silent and his parents would never even notice! Georgie finally gets a now huge dragon out of the cottage and sadly sends him off. His father relents in the end and tells Georgie he can have a pet. The ending is hilarious and should be seen to be fully appreciated.
This short is on a three disc DVD box set of UPA Jolly Frolics shorts. The short is very good and the set itself is excellent. Most recommended.
