I finally found the source of 30 years of nightmares!! Been wondering about this movie for decades!

The Bobcat Goldthwait dragon.

[@TheRealNormanBates]

I always thought he sounded like Pee Wee Herman.

[@SunBunz]

It scared the shit out of me as a kid...then I’d mimic it’s ridiculous sounds and laugh. DAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Pee-wee Herman Dragon

[@PaigeDWinter]

It's wild how much this character scared me as a kid. Now I think he's hysterically funny.

[@Ronin03]

This thing was fast and loud but I always thought Kuruku was terrifying in comparison

[@PaigeDWinter]

@@Ronin03 OMG yes! Especially the higher pitched his voice got and the more his eyes bugged out! Freaked me out so bad 🤣🤣

[@D00m0g]

I watched this as an adult and loved them and completely understood.

[@mutantratz9225]

it must be fun to voice a character that is this outlandish and insane all you would need to do is scream XD

[@benberry1165]

I think what happened here was that at one point, this was a real dragon and it was then transformed either by Lord Kurukoo or by his magical servant Toby for his personal amusement, but yes as it does just crazy antics, overall it's only there as comic relief and has no backstory.

[@SunBunz]

Ben Berry I never considered that!

2:25 What the heck is the Roller Dragon looking at?!

[@benberry1165]

@@erinloveswendy he's looking at the camera, sort of a 4th wall moment.

@@benberry1165 That's impossible!

[@benberry1165]

@@erinloveswendy watch it again, it's not like he's looking at something else.

[@Joryo1]

I remember seeing this on the Disney Channel back in the mid-80s. The screaming dragon scared the bejesus out of me. Unknowingly at the time, it was probably the first anime feature film I ever watched.

[@luisfcayo]

same here

[@anti-semiticmisogynisticra5622]

I thought that roller dragon was hilarious when I was a kid.

[@LennyWhatever2]

this would've scared the fuck out of me if i saw it as a kid

[@visjex7498]

So what's this guy's deal?

[@NineQuestionMarks]

Yes, and why is the building the dragon guarding made of Jelly Jigglers?

[@pigfish99]

those are people. turned into puppets.

[@DumahsAssassin]

Makes me wonder if Kuruku/Toby was able to turn a dragon into a toy, I wonder how their magic would fair against the gigantic bad guy from the other movie

[@trustmeits610pm2]

Well... Unico managed to defeat Kuruku without transforming, while he had to go full alicorn in order to stand a chance against the Demon Lord Baron Ghost. So that suggests Kuruku is the weaker of the two villains. That doesn't necessarily count Kuruku out though, since Kuruku seems to be a lot more versatile than Baron Ghost. It'd be an interesting fight.

[@Hideyoumonkey]

@@trustmeits610pm2 i think Kuruku underestimated Unico…he showed no previous ability to harm him and was dealt a death blow on unicos first lucky hit.

[@trustmeits610pm2]

@@Hideyoumonkey You're right. He definitely underestimated him. Hubris is a common villain failing. Personally, I think Kuruku is powerful but frail... like most wizards are portrayed to be. He probably had the necessary offense to defeat Demon Lord Baron Ghost, but most likely wouldn't survive a single hit.

[@jamesgaudette1619]

I’ve been trying to figure out why I have dreams of that thing for 30 years

[@insanemetalfreak99]

My favorite dragon

[@animalgamesforyou03]

Unico one of my favorite unicorn

[@Rosesnothorns]

God it sounds like the npcs in kitty powers matchmaker

[@torgothegrey3567]

The way it turns its head at 0:26... Still creepy to this day.

[@DunderHead.5000]

As it smashes through wall and when the castle falls apart at the end, I imagine body parts flying everywhere.

[@cindyobrien5626]

My five year old little sister said that the other unico movie (The Adventures of Unico) was scarier without the yelling dragon. He was important comic relief?

[@Miau-28]

Oigan si alguien sabe el nombre de la serie por favor Escríbeme

[@enfolded_light]

Unico

[@tanairium654]

Can anyone find the Japanese dub of this scene? This is not the sound I remember when I saw this

[@richardbudicek1508]

I came from r/MemeEconomy

[@Armorhunterash]

Possibly the inspiration of Robirdo in Mario advance?
