That little cry the baby dragon makes right before he is killed breaks my heart every time. It literally just gets right to my core.

I love how the mama dragon ignores the princess and the warlock boy because they did nothing wrong, they didn't kill her baby. Instead of going on a unbiased rampage for its death, she makes the only who did it pay the price instead of everyone and I love that :3

I only just noticed now, that the knight doesn't turn into THE baby dragon, but simply A baby dragon.

The moment when the knight realized that the dragon he was hunting was his first love, and that growl that the Momma dragon to indicate “See this is how it felt like when you took my child’s life from me, and now you’ll know the life he would’ve had, the life you’ve taken away.

I like how proud of itself the frog looks when it heals the princess. The frog along with the mother dragon are my favorite characters.

Can’t help but notice a few frames that tell me the animator is a fan of Bambi 2 and it makes me so happy that someone else has seen and appreciates that movie too. Also love Zira as a model for the mother dragon.

It's crazy how a person can do a bad thing to impress someone they love, just like in real life causing him to be the bad guy to someone else. Really enjoyed this story! Thanks!

You can see the pain in her eyes when she confronts the knight with the broken gem, and you can see the realization in his eyes--he killed a baby just to get a pretty rock, and he tried to kill his lover because he doesn't see dragons as people, just animals. That's why he kneels before the Dragon Queen; he knows he fucked up and that's really the only penance he can offer; his life.

I love how the knight was tried by fire and reformed into an innocent life rather than just obliterated. I don't know if the knight is the baby dragon or simply rebirthed as the lost child but either way his new form gets another chance. Bravo for an amazing story FiddleGriff

Morals:

If this were a series:

I just realized: the mother dragon could've declared war on the knight and his people

i love the gremlin. its just like "yo i got that healing spit!" and then he looks all proud of himself.

I love how the mother dragon didn't kill the man out of hatred but made him the replacement, to maybe give love that she could never give to her lost child

Can we just talk about the sass of the mother dragon. Love that regal entrance and the flick to that helmet. I'm a animation fanatic so it makes me happy that people inser little postures like that.
