Elmer's Adventure: My Father's Dragon

There are a few movies/shows I watched when I was like eight/nine or younger that I have quite fond memories of despite hardly remembering them or even their names. There´s a show with some talking forest animals, or a movie I had on VHS about a green beast or dragon. Shows/Movies you have fleeting memories of but can´t fully grasp. My Father´s Dragon belonged into the same category for me. I remember seeing it. There was Mandarine Island, the tigers that ate the chewing gum, some songs, and Boris the Dragon. It legit took me years to remember the name of the movie and when Ifigured it out I noticed that it's basically lost media. It never got a VHS or DVD release and I was lucky to have watched it on TV. This also explains why this movie only has 50 ratings here. But to my surprise, a German version was uploaded a month ago on YouTube and so I was able to rewatch it. It´s kind of crazy how seeing it unlocked all these memories I had of it. I remembered most of the songs and how funny I found various scenes I didn´t even think about in around two decades. Is it an awe-inspiring kids' movie you need to have seen? Not really, but I think even without my nostalgia it is a good watch and I can see why it was so memorable to me. The animals are cool and the songs sounded quite nice. I´m mostly fascinated by how hard it was/is to watch this movie. I haven´t seen any English version online anywhere. There´s hardly any information about the 1997 version of the movie out there at all.
