About The Reluctant Dragon
The Reluctant Dragon, released June 20, 1941, follows humorist Robert Benchley as he explores the Disney Studio lot in an attempt to sell Walt Disney on an idea for a new film project. Along the way, he explores an art class, experiences sound recording sessions, and gets behind-the-scenes glimpses of the story, animation, and camera departments. The film culminates in an animated retelling of Kenneth Grahame’s The Reluctant Dragon—an exciting moment filled with action, adventure, and, of course, poetry.
Event is August 20th and costs $45 per person (plus $5 processing fee). Tickets will go on sale on Friday, July 8, 2016, 10 a.m. PT.
