I saw Dragonworld when I was little. I still love it even though I have not seen it in years. It's about an american boy who's parents die so he has to move to scotland with his widowed grandfather. He is very lonely so he wishes for a friend and then he meets a dragon whom he names Yowler. They become best friends. Then they grow up and a developer and his daugher come to scotland. The boy, John, falls in love with the daughter and consents to send Yowler to a "better place," a park called Dragonworld. But Yowler is mistreated so John and the girl, beth set out to save Yowler. THis movie is great! I would recommend it for all ages.

DRAGONWORLD is about a young boy (Jon) who goes to Scotland after the death of his parents. Jon has a hard time adjusting to life in Scotland as he and his granda live in an area where there are not many children his own age. Following a myth he had been told, he goes to a magical site and wishes for a friend. The Scottish fairies grant his wish by giving him a young dragon as a friend, whom he decides to name Yowler.
Time passes and the two grow up together. Ten years later, Jon's granda has passed away, and he is faced with the fact that he is not going to be able to keep his family's castle/manor. A developer and his daughter come to buy the land, when they see Yowler. The developer offers to pay Jon to show Yowler at a type of amusement park. Since he is desperate for money, Jon agrees so long as Yowler is treated well. However, Yowler is not treated well, so Jon and the developer's daughter, who have paired up romantically, set out to save him. Once back in Scotland, with the amusement park people on their tail, Jon tells Yowler to go away. With no dragon, the amusement park people are forced to leave, but Yowler is also gone, under the impression that Jon no longer loves him. Yet in the in end, after their first child is born, Yowler returns. So it ends happy.

This movie is an excellent one for the younger viewers who are fascinated with dragons. Does not scare the young children but keeps the older ones attention. Teaches a few good life lessons,while being very entertaining. I would recomend it for ages 3 on up to adults.

I thought the cinematography of the the beautiful English countrysides were visually stunning. The cherub faced, talented young actor Courtland Mead was spellbinding to my children and my husband and I alike. The baby dragons relationship with the young Mead is heartwarming. This movie is touching, funny, heartwarming, and the latter part of the movie is filled with light suspense, adventure, and good action scenes.

a wonderful movie....sorry that I can't get a copy as it is not being available right now....

This is a must see movie. It is an excellent story and has become a mini-cult classic for the few of us that saw it as kids. Unfortuantely, this movie is not getting passed on to a new generation as Paramount has yet to transfer it to DVD or Blueray. Kind of sad really when you see some of the tragedies that get transferred instead of forgotten.

The Seller shipped within two business days of purchasing and it was right in the middle of the supplied time frame. The movie came in exactly described quality and my kids love it. Thank you so much for a hassle free purchase. :)

great copy. one of our family favorites while living in Germany. thanx for a quality product and quick service.

I HAVEN'T SEEN THIS MOVIE SENCE I WAS LITTLE AND THE FIRST TIME I SAW DRAGONWORLD IT WAS ON DISNEY. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST DRAGON MOVIES EVER.

Dragonworld is more than a cute little movie. The background shots made me want to return home to Glencoe. I have purchased the movie and shared it with my friends. Of course I am just
learning people are very intrested in the ways of the Scots.
Dragonworld is a great way to start. At the end of the movie I
watched the extra footage and they were talking of a second one.
I do hope it comes about and [that thsy] will let me know so I can
get my order in first.
