Pre-viewed for quality and plays great, clean cassette comes in an oversized collectible vacuform clamshell that still has good color. Back of the box has a couple of light horizontal scores across it, both are a couple of inches from the top and bottom.

This appears to be the full length version with a running time listed on the back of 128 minutes. Some prints were cut to 121 minutes and the reissue in 1985 was further cut to 104 minutes.

Superb Disney musical-comedy blending live action and animation to tell the hilarious saga of Elliott the Dragon, a fire-breather from Fantasy World, on Earth to help children in trouble. And what child could resist a jolly, cuddly green dragon--especially one with a potbelly and tiny pink wings?

In Maine circa 1900, nine-year-old Pete (Sean Marshall) escapes from his grasping foster-parents, the Gogans (Shelley Winters is grotesquely hilarious as Ma). Elliott meets Pete on the run. He flies, turns invisible and has a sense of humour, snarling at disbelievers and throwing frightening shadows on walls. Lighthouse keeper Mickey Rooney and daughter Helen Reddy befriend the boy and dragon.

Jim Dale pops up as a medicine show man, Dr. Terminus, with Red Buttons as his assistant. Jim Backus is the town mayor. But when the town tries to capture Elliott, the dragon's abilty to breathe fire could well save the day! The voice of Pete is provided by comedian Charlie Callas.
