Wiki:
The Reluctant Dragon is a 1941 American comedy film produced by Walt Disney, directed by Alfred Werker, and released by RKO Radio Pictures on June 27, 1941. Essentially a tour of the then-new Walt Disney Studios facility in Burbank, California, the film stars radio comedian Robert Benchley and many Disney staffers such as Ward Kimball, Fred Moore, Norman Ferguson, Clarence Nash, and Walt Disney, all as themselves. - บันเทิง

"Raya and the Reluctant Dragon" is a crossover I'd watch.
Same
Fun fact is that part of the reason they started editing out his smocking habits was because it was also becoming quite public knowledge that smoking was bad for your health. Smocking was going out of fashion.
Bravo for reacting to The Reluctant Dragon! This was actually around a fair amount in my childhood long ago! They showed it once in my elementary school as a special Friday-afternoon treat, and it was aired on Walt Disney's Sunday-evening TV series (undoubtedly in shortened form). I"m very grateful that you stepped out of the Classics list for this! You should probably skip Victory Through Air Power, though. :)
I think certain departments were all-women because they were considered to be good on picky little details. Men had minds that were, you know, above all that....
I just checked to see if Victory Through AirPower was on D+ because I’ve actually never seen it!! But from what I’ve heard… you’re probably right! 😂
Love hearing the reasoning behind the all female departments… I’m guessing that wouldn’t fly today 😂
Thanks for your comment! Love hearing your history with this movie ✌️☺️
Disney actually did do something similar for his television series - about the making of a documentary in his True-Life Adventure series involving a squirrel named "Perri". The thing that impressed me about it was that he actually explained some of the logic of putting a story together.
Ooh how interesting! I’ve not actually seen any of the true life adventures and only really know of them because of the whole lemmings fiasco.
Do you know if that documentary has made it to Disney plus???
I’m watching it as we speak. ❤ love you guys! 😊
Yaaaayyy hope you enjoyed!!
@@EdizAndBenDefinitely check out Perri! Not necessarily for the channel (though that would be cool, too) but just for your own enjoyment. It features the first ever appearance of a canonical live action Bambi, and I'm not even joking.
Robert Benchley is the grandfather of Peter Benchley, the author of JAWS.
I watched this since I was a toddler and it's still one of the most charming and witty little film from Disney I have watched ❤❤❤❤❤❤
fun fact it's an adaptation of a children's book
I can't believe you did The Reluctant Dragon! Fantastic! I love that you got to go behind the scenes on all the magic💖 Btw the wife wasn't just being lazy when she said she was choosing to go shopping instead-- she was forcing her lazy husband to be ambitious. Ah the struggles of a middle-aged wife in the 40's lol Oh and Walt and his team were the first major company to hire women to train women to do these skills such as animating, sound effects, and chemistry in order to make the ink and paints. They were still brand new to the work world because of WWII and in school they weren't trained for careers other than nurturing, teaching, and possibly nursing if they wanted to be trained for it. Oh and I know, I was upset about Timothy Q. Mouse but then I realized that Dumbo was still in production so knowing Walt, he didn't want to give away the details yet. And fun fact: Sir Giles' voice is the same as Ratty in The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad.
Yh, putting your mind into the context of when the films of this era came out is so important. Although I have to say, my world history is not as good as my Disney history, so thankyou for the extra knowledge on the 1940s housewife!! 😂
Also, I may be stealing that fun fact for when we get to the Adventures of Ichabod and Mr Toad! ✌️☺️
Thanks for commenting!!
@@EdizAndBen you're welcome and lol steal away
I’ve grown up with the animated short, it’s absolutely delightful! The behind the scenes stuff is really interesting.
The dragon definitely deserves more love!
Poor Ediz, forced to watch this ahha but glad he's getting some fun Disney trivia. Never heard of this but was great seeing all the fun facts Ben had on it. Great vid again guys
I jist realized sir Giles is also the Walrus in animated alice in wonderland.
Recognized the voice.
I remember reading in Jerry Beck's _The Animated Movie Guide,_ that besides it being an inaccurate depiction of the atmosphere at the time, some of the supposed "employees" shown in the film actually were just actors who never worked a single day in the studio.
The Baby Weems short looks like it would have been good if released, but unfortunately a thing that drags it down is some of the world leaders being blatant racist caricatures, with the Haze Codes not helping. And with those Haze Codes, serously, (like seriously, do they think kids are going to go crazy and kill each other if they see one's bellybutton? And also, they wouldn't allow "white slavery" but had no problem showing black slaves?
Yes, I would loooove to see a fly on the wall documentary filmed at this time focussing on the artists going on strike! That would be so interesting!!
I’ve never heard of this until now
Yeah, they don’t seem to promote this as much as their other movies from this time period 😂
This era seems to be my least favorite era wonder why
I can't wait to watch this! I've seen clips of the reluctant dragon bit intrigued to see your thoughts!
It really is a hidden curiosity… still not sure if it’s entertaining or not though 😂
Let us know your thoughts once you’ve watched!!
@@EdizAndBen it was definitely a very interesting film, sort of made me think of saving mr banks, part of it being set at the disney studios but it was cool ot features walt disnry himself! I'll admit I found the film a little strange because it wasn't really like other disney movies I've seen-even fantasia which is moree music wasn't much like this-but I found it quite cool! I always thought this film was entirely animated before watching the movie so it was super interesting to see! I think i agree with ediz and u about the animation, u can sort of tell the film had a tigher budget, bit the dragon os a cool character imo! I do appreciate the fact that it gave sneak peeks to upcoming fil s tho i agree on a whole ot wasnt that great but certainly interesting nevertheless!! And I love all the facts Ben! And also both your duck noises were amazing! 👌😅😊
Loves it! Never saw it before, either, but again, because of you two, I gave it a chance. Lmao, Ediz! "Why is he so fabulous?" Why? WHY? HOW, Sir. 🤣
HOW is he so fabulous?
Life goals.🦄😆😆
Did not know Disney did favorites pay (paying people based on how much you like them rather than skill or how long they have worked there). That would probably get him sued nowadays. Heck he’d probably be seen in a different light.
He definitely made some questionable decisions during this time period. After the strike, he made sure to get certain animators who went on strike blacklisted and even removed them from the credits of films they worked on!
He's not quite the Saint we like to view him as 😬👍
@@EdizAndBen he really isn’t
They actually didn’t have all the characters. Obviously the Song of the South characters were omitted. Paul Bunyan and. Babe were absent and Chernabog made a quick cameo but was absent for the final shot as well as the giant from Mickey and the Beanstalk
Another great video! Looking forward to getting back to the classic timeline ones, keep up the good work you made lunch break decent haha
Thanks Mark!
Pleased you had a decent lunch break!
Editing Saludos Amigos as we speak!! 🙌
That's why Disney is not smoking in Saving Mr Banks. If Tom Hanks lit and smoked a cigarette on screen, it would
have turned into a R-rated movie. But Disney's smoking habit is portrayed in the film though. You see him holding a cigarette, putting out the ashes, coughing, etc.
Yes I thought that was a very clever, subtle way of showing it!!
Can we do Darby o gill and the little people next. That banshee haunts every Irish persons nightmares
Oh gosh, have we opened ourselves up for every obscure Disney movie now 😂 love that for us!
I watched Darby o gill for the first time during lockdown and it was… interesting 😅😅😅
I also watched Blackbeards Ghost and preferred that I think
I actually really like this movie! The technical creativity that went into bringing animated films to life onscreen is amazing to me. And the dragon himself is so freaking cute I wish Disney would make a plushie out of him!
First of all … kudos to you guys for getting back on track again with the videos in a row this week! 🥹🥰😍
Second, The Reluctant Dragon is definitely underrated but probably for a reason 🤭😆 I’m glad it has one of those warnings at the beginning before it plays if you watch it on Disney+. But I’m Ben’s side when it comes why Walt Disney is iconic for who he was not matter through all the controversial stuff. He definitely stayed true to the very end. Plus, I think Walt was one of the reasons why I never wanted to get into smoking 🥲🥺
Can’t wait to watch your guy’s start of the silver age cause Saludos Amigos has some iconic moments from that moment.
P.S. Not Ediz’s first mind to watching the older films of if the person is dead 😖😂
Thanks, we are putting in the graft trying to get as many videos out as possible before the end of the year! 😂 So I’m pleased you’ve noticed! Haha
And yes, it’s a shame most people don’t know about this film, but also… how much are they actually missing out?? 😂
8:21 Casey Jr is my favorite cartoon character of all time and the very reason I wanted to be an animator. Some day I hope to make a short film about him. I've made my own cartoons of him on my channel before if you wanna check them out. In some of those videos, I do Casey's voice😉
19:42 so that's how the animation works in progress look like back then
Is it just me or does sir Giles look like a human version of the bunny (I don’t remember his name) from the Cartoon Network show “Foster’s home for imaginary friends”?
I've never heard of the Reluctant Dragon!
I don’t think many people have! 😅
2:47 This would be like if _The Making of an AVGN Episode_ we’re simply titled “Barbie - AVGN”.
Granted, I’m not sure how many clicks it would generate from James’s fanbase, presumably comprised mainly of teenage boys.
5:51 I’m almost certain that Animator is Wolfgang Reitherman, one of the Nine Old Men. He’d go on to direct half of the Silver and Dark/Bronze Age movies.
3:48 I mean… my grandad was 5 when this movie came out, and he’s 87 now. The only way anyone in this movie would be alive today if they were a kid at the time, and somehow I doubt we’ll be seeing kids in this movie.
(Cue the disappointed sighs of Catholic priests)
9:31 That also happened to Goofy in the DVD release of _Saludos Amigos,_ though it was put back in for the Disney+ release, as we saw from your reaction to that film.
I have never seen this film. I think its part of the Disney canon too.
18:00 It’s in South Dakota, in roughly the north central western part of the country.
I say I watched it yesterday and it was kinda of a good movie and I liked that they showed the old Walt Disney company of how they do the music sounds story and animation but not the best movie ever made but still it was good 🙂 and yeah the main character was kinda of getting off of my nerves little bit of some of the scenes
Yes, it hasn’t aged particularly well, but still fascinating nonetheless! I just love that they are putting forgotten gems like this on Disney Plus!!
I'm surprised that you didn't mention all the famous actors who made cameos in this movie or that Robert Benchley was and is considered one of America's greatest humorists.
It was fun..not bad but not great either
The movie’s mid but I so wish they’d bring back the Dragon, he’s wonderful
22:00 Wait… is that the same guy who voiced Pinocchio?
Definitely an interesting film and a cool look at the studio, but definitely a red curtain for the times given it was during the animators strike and the first of many of the Disney Studio’s mass sackings. We definitely need a character like the Reluctant Dragon again.
Also did not know the actual origin of the “Disney point”. As a former DCP we were trained that one-finger pointing was just a rude physical gesture and that two-finger pointing looked more helpful.
I was originally going to talk about the “Disney point” but couldn’t work out if this was actually the origin of it or not. The lengths they’ve gone to!! 😅
Thanks for commenting ✌️☺️
@@EdizAndBen well in the end it’s just another to add to the list Disney disillusions. The parks having smoking areas anyways. The irony.
Btw you guys will enjoy the Wartime Era. Not in the same way as a traditional Disney animated film. But it’s gonna be a trip.
I can't pin your accents down?
South East London born and bred
✌️☺️
English inbread by the sounds of it
@@PikminandOatchi well damn…
We do not stand for the Timothy Q. Mouse disrespect
Watch Ben and Me.
