Quotes from
Father: Oh, son, I seen it! Up on the bounds it was, all covered with scales and such, and a tail with a sort of hook on it! Now wait until I catch me breath. It's horrible! That's what it is, horrible!
The Boy: It's only a dragon, father.
Father: Oh... Only a dragon? Oh! The village! Help! There's a dragon a-coming! Help!
The Boy: Don't worry, father. I'll have a look at him.
The Boy: Have you had any nice battles lately?
The Dragon: Battles? Oh, no, no, no battles. No.
The Boy: Oh. Oh, probably too busy scourging the countryside and devouring fair damsels, then.
The Dragon: Scourging? Devouring? Good heavens, no.
The Boy: But don't you ever do anything desperate?
The Dragon: Well, yes, I... I do make up poetry.
The Boy: Poetry?
The Dragon: Verses, you know? Care to hear my latest sonnet?
The Boy: Well, I...
The Dragon: Oh, you'll love this. I call it, "Just A-Drifting".
[sings]
The Dragon: Just a-drifting o'er the leaves/Like a dewdrop, fancy free,/Playing with the gentle breezes,/Romping with the bumble beezes./Oh, what fun! Joy never ceases,/Just a-drifting.

Facts about
When Robert Benchley visits the art department one of the sculptors quickly makes a clay bust caricature of Benchley. In reality the bust was made in advance and then gradually destroyed while being filmed. The film was simply shown backwards to make it appear as though the artist was making the bust from scratch.
Portions of this film had to be redone because of objections by the Hays Office. The dragon was originally drawn with a navel which had to removed before the film could be passed.
