One Droopy Knight is a 1957 Droopy cartoon directed by Michael Lah.
Plot[]
Droopy and his rival Butch are medieval knights out to slay a dragon and win the hand of a beautiful human princess. However, the dragon considers both as nothing more than minor nuisances. Droopy, though, takes more chances to slay the dragon, but it thinks Droopy is small and harmless. Meanwhile, Butch is being foiled after being molded into a metal can.
Droopy, however, bangs a flail on the dragon's tail and says, "Take that, you no-good dragon!" Once again, the dragon single-handedly flicks Droopy away. Butch comes back riding on a steed. Suddenly, the dragon blows fire on Butch and the horse, leaving them naked.
Butch gives up and goes away, while Droopy stands and cries looking at a picture of the princess. The dragon draws a moustache and beard on the picture and laughs himself silly. Droopy quietly puts the picture away, marches up to the dragon and says "Mr. Dragon, that makes me mad!" He then beats up the dragon and wins the heart of the princess. Finally, at the palace, Droopy reads the ending of the story of the dragon and closes the book. He kisses the princess's hand, then takes up a cigar to show her about smoking, and Droopy gives the cigar a blow, the dragon comes up, and breathes fire on it. The result is smoke coming out from the cigar when Droopy smokes it before revealing this to the princess.
Notes[]
- This cartoon is essentially a remake of 1949's Señor Droopy, but taking place in a medieval setting rather than the country of Mexico.
- This cartoon was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film in 1958. It lost to the Warner Bros. cartoon Birds Anonymous.
