TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

CookieInvent There's a good chance the film will make you laugh out loud, but if it doesn't, there's an even better chance it will make you openly sob.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Puff the Magic Dragon" is an animated 23-minute short film from the 1970s. This was made over 35 years ago and actually had quite a decent prospect in terms of the story. Sadly, the execution was not equally convincing, so this little movie, despite an Emmy nomination, is another example of how animated short films were so disappointing in this decade. This could actually have been a great film in terms of emotional impact, but it came short. Nothing to say about the comedy aspect, which was almost non-existent in here anyway. The only somewhat memorable thing in the end was Peter Yarrow's singing. He is a member of the trio "Peter, Paul & Mary" and I quite like their voices. There are 2 sequels to this short movie here, but this first installment did not really get me curious about these. All in all, an underwhelming watch, especially if you look at who made this. One of the directors is even an Oscar winner. Not recommended.

Evy_Sunshine this was my all-time favourite movie when i was a kid.i remember when me and my brother and cousin would drop everything we were doing to sit down for a half hour and watch and sing along with Puff and Jackie. recently, my brother's girlfriend found him a copy and we still knew all of the words to every song. i am not ashamed to say that i still love this movie. it's great for kids and enjoyable on so many levels for adults too.if you can find a copy of this anywhere, i highly reccomend that you get this, for your kids or whoever. it's way better then most of that new "children's entertainment" that exists today. and it teaches a great lesson.

MMcDev1432 This movie is great....see it right away. Just pure genius Its amazing, i just love it and anyone in their right mind will enjoy seeing PUFF and JACKIE PAPER do cool stuff together, and hear the amazing song. If you haven't seen it you're missing out big time10/10

Marta This is an adorable half hour special that radiates charm and intelligence. Burgess Meredith is the voice of Puff, the Magic Dragon, and he was a perfect choice for the role. Able to give an air of command or whimsy, he makes Puff come alive.The story is pure fantasy; to give Jackie self-confidence, Puff encourages him to imagine a world where he can make a difference. Jackie and Puff sail away to the land of the Sneezes, where the inhabitants are giant noses, who have perpetual colds and are always irritable and feel awful. Jackie comes up with the idea to make it rain chicken soup, to get them well. When it works, Jackie feels better, too.If you can find this, any child will love it. My own kids watched it over and over for years, and still remember it fondly. It's a gentle and well-done children's classic.
