Dragons in Classic Cartoons?

[YPSmitGimmick]

I'm looking for classic cartoons with dragons. It looks like there are not many around. Besides Disney's "Reluctant Dragon" I only know:

Knighty Knight Bugs (WB)

The China Plate (Disney)

Dance of the Weed (MGM) included a dragon-like flower

I also know Disney's "Dragon Around" (which doesn't include a real dragon) and heard about MGM's "The Calico Dragon", which I haven't seen yet.

Does anybody know more classic cartoons with dragons?

Well, there was a dragon on this Droopy/Spike cartoon in the mid-1950's. And there was a dragon lady on China Jones (which was reused in Muchos Locos).

Oh, and there was a dragon in that one Bugs Bunny cartoon where Bugs gets hit in the head and dreams that he's in medieval times. Come on! How could you forget the line "Do you smell brimstone?" or the part where Bugs sprays seltzer in the dragon's mouth?

KNIGHT-MARE HARE (Bugs, WB)
ONE DROOPY KNIGHT (Droopy, MGM)
CASE OF THE MALTESE CHICKEN (Inspector Willoughby, Lantz) - not really a dragon, but the villain wears a Chinese dragon costume
SLEEPING BEAUTY (Disney feature)
SNOW WHITE (Betty Boop, Fleischer)

KNIGHT-MARE HARE (Bugs, WB)
ONE DROOPY KNIGHT (Droopy, MGM)-Thad
Those were the cartoons I was referring to. Thanks for the titles.

Also, Lady Play Your Mandolin and Goopy Geer have similar scenes where a drunken horse sees a Chinese dragon in the mirror. Does that count?

There's also the early Merrie Melodie ONE STEP AHEAD OF MY SHADOW.

Sleeping Beauty and Sword in the Stone.
There was an episode of the Alvin Show with a Joe Besser dragon.

"Popeye the Sailor Meets Sindbad the Sailor"

"Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp" (Popeye)


If you count early made-for-TV cartoons:

"Popeye and the Dragon"

"Popeye and the Polite Dragon"

"The Day Silky Went Blozo" (very strange cartoon-the dragon sings and plays with yo-yos)

"Popeye's Testimonial Dinner" (includes clip from "Popeye and the Dragon")
