love this as the dragon looks like a dragon not some metaphor for the state of the world or total incarnation of evil wrapped up in this fire breathing monster..Although that sounds good ..and i like the way the princess is on her toes well before the outcome ..She could still be dragon food ..but shes not hanging around to find out ..george who ?
Can the person on the roof put that light out ..(only a joke) ..i already know its my wife going to the toilet at 3.30 in the morning..
