The bright orange "Zog" is determined to win a gold star from his teacher at dragon school, but to be honest - he isn't really very good. His flying is dangerous for just about all concerned; his roaring wouldn't scare the skin off a custard so he's pinning his hopes on capturing a princess. Fortunately, he has already befriended a young girl "Pearl", so you can imagine his delight when he discovers that she's really of royal blood, bored and actually wants to be rescued. Thing is, though, her kingly uncle wants her back so despatches the brave "Sir Gadabout" to retrieve her. A duel of epic proportions looms, but who will win? It's perhaps five minutes too long, this, but it's still an enjoyably vibrant (almost hallucinogenic) animation that's amusing as the young dragon tries to find his feet/wings/fire-breathing skills whilst the rebellious "Pearl" is desperate to escape the boredom of her life. The narration is largely in an amiable rhyme, the score has a simple jollity to it and there are just about enough escapades to keep it fun.
