What's left behind the scenes

  • This is the first feature film to use a variation of stop-motion animation where the model (in this case, a dragon) is mechanical, and its movements are controlled by a computer. This approach made the dragon look realistic.
  • Two army flamethrowers were used to create the dragon's flames.
  • Peter Mcnicol's debut role.
  • A total of 16 dragon puppets were used (including a 12-meter model), each capable of flying, crawling, and breathing fire.
  • Filming took place in Wales, with the exception of the final scene, which was shot in Scotland.
  • Local residents were used as extras.
