1980s Dragon Cartoon

Asked Feb 8, 2008, 10:37 AM — 26 Answers
When I was a kid I remember an animated dragon cartoon that was a one shot deal or just a mini series. It was a serious cartoon. One of the events in it may have been a dragon egg hatching and a boy getting the dragon or being protected by dragons in some fantasy realm. It may have been an after school special movie, but obviously not one in which there was a "moral" or anything like the classic "After School Specials". It is NOT the Dragon's Lair cartoon or the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon or "Flight of Dragons".

Can anyone help me find references to it? My internet searches have all been dead ends.

I can't remember the name of the cartoon either. But I am looking for it too, a bit of nostalgia for it. Please post the answer if you find it. I was just a kid when it came out, but in my eyes it was very cool. It wasn't an afterschool special, because I remember watching it in the evening. Also I remember one of the kids turning into a dragon, but he still had a kids voice. There was one scene where he battled another dragon and the other dragon burned from head to tail like a fuse on a firecracker. Maybe this will help jog your memory.

You're ringing bells, but I don't think I'll ever be able to come up with a name. I was too young to care about names of shows I think.

Anyone else?

There are parts that look familiar but parts that don't. I may just be not remembering correctly. But thanks for your help and I'm glad I jogged your memory!

It was an After School Special based on the book Dragon's Blood by Jane Yolen. Sadly, I can't seem to find any reference to an existing video of it anywhere, but I'm certain as it was my favorite book and I remember the cartoon.
