''Dragon and Slipper'' (originally ''Sárkány és Papucs'') is a Hungarian animated film from 1990, produced by Creator/PannoniaFilmStudio. Created by Hernádi Tibor, Dargay Attila (Literature/LudasMatyi, Animation/VukTheLittleFox, Animation/TreasureOfSwampCastle) and Nepp József (Animation/CatCity), the film is a parody of the LoveTriangle stories between Myth/KingArthur, Queen Guinevra and Lancelot.

Arthur and Guinevra had been married for seven years, but throughout the years the king completely ignored his beautiful wife, favoring "sportmanship" over wedged life, throwing [[TheTourney tourneys]] for his knights every day, which are so loud, they're driving the already stressed out queen insane. To regain Arthur's love, she follows the advice of her servant Peggy, and asks for a LovePotion from Myth/{{Merlin}}, the {{Druid}}. He creates one, and gives her the instructions, to cook plum pie/pudding for Arthur, add one drop of the potion to it, and repeat this treatment every day for one year. Guinevra however pours the entire bottle into the first pudding. To make things worse, Arthur refuses to eat it, because he can't stand plums and offers it to his favorite knight Lancelot (who also happens to be Peggy's gallant), who becomes completely obsessed with Guinevra from it.

Compare ''Series/SusuASarkany'', a LighterAndSofter {{Puppet Show|s}}, also from Hungary, featuring kings, knights and a reluctant, one-headed dragon.

!! This film provides examples of:
* AbhorrentAdmirer: Matildka the witch becomes as madly attracted to Goliath the dragon, as Lancelot was to Guinevra.
* TheAce: Lancelot is the best amongst the knights, winning practically every one of the tourneys.
* AmusingInjuries: Mostly suffered by [[ButtMonkey Guinevra]].
* BreakingTheFourthWall:
** Near the end, as he's pestered by Matildka, Goliath looks straight at the viewers and asks if there's an environmentalist among them, hoping to invoke animal cruelty to keep the witch away.
** One of the last lines in the outro song by the jester is "Here I am the fool, and [[TakeThatAudience so are you all, for watching the movie to the end!]]"
* TheChewToy: Poor Guinevra. First she's been ignored by her husband for seven years (so much so, that she's not even surprised to find a gold horse-shoe between her Christmas presents, simply remarking that "Arthur has switched up my present with his horse's. '''Again.'''"), then Lancelot becomes obsessed with her, and puts her through hell with his advances, culminating in setting her room on fire at New Year's Eve.
* CreativeClosingCredits: The jester returns and sings a reprise of the opening song, interspersed with [[TakeThat Take Thats]] towards the audience and the director, and complaining about being forcefully silenced when the credits attempt to push him out of frame.
* CurbStompBattle:
** Every single game of every single tourney ends in this in Lancelot's favor.
** Lancelot himself ends up on the receiving end of one, once Goliath gets fed-up, and kicks Lancelot in the buttocks so hard, he spits out the pie, he ate ''months'' ago.
* DeadpanSnarker: Oliver, Lancelot's horse, often snarks at his owner's idiocy.
* DelayedReaction: When Peggy tells Guinevra that "Arthur gave the pie to Lancelot", the queen's first reaction is to scold her for referring to the king by his first name before the realisation hits her.
* FeatherFingers: The delivery-pelican has them.
* FelonyMisdemeanor: After Guinevra confesses the Love potion screw up to Arthur, they decide to send Lancelot to slay the dragon who attacked the queen, and stole one of her slippers. Subverted in that [[SnipeHunt there was no dragon attack, nor slipper theft at all]].
%% * GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.
* IdiotHero: Lancelot may be a brave knight, but he's not very smart even before he drinks the love potion. After drinking it, he loses what little common sense he had.
* LethalChef: According to Arthur, Guinevra's cooking is terrible, even if she doesn't add magic potions to it. He even claimed that when he first tasted Guinevra's pie, the world darkened before his eyes.
* MadeOfIron: Lancelot gets a wardrobe dropped on him from a tower, but it doesn't even phase him, while his opponents at the tourneys are usually knocked out from much less.
* MadnessMantra: Guinevra and Goliath for Lancelot and Matildka respectively, after consuming the potion.
* LovePotion: Guinevra asks one from Merlin. It doesn't end well.
* MsFanservice: Guinevra is the only character not drawn in an obviously cartoonish way, and she spends most of the first act in her nightgown, baring her legs, neck and shoulders, and even a bit of cleavage for a few scenes. It gets {{subverted}} due to the numerous AmusingInjuries that give her a black eye, missing teeth and messy hair, among others.
* NotThatKindOfDoctor: Goliath uses the "Dr." title, which stands not for "Doctor", but for "Dragon".
* ObliviousToLove: Arthur remains completely unaware of Lancelot being bonkers with love for his wife, even though the entire castles figure it out the first night.
* OnlySaneMan: Two of them:
** The jester, whose only role is to point out how wacky the entire cast is. He even Lampshades it in the movie's theme song:
---> '''Jester''':" I swear that in this giant castle,\\
I am the sanest person."
** Oliver, Lancelot's horse. When Lancelot is under the influence of the love potion, his eccentric behaviour makes Oliver constantly call him a moron.
---> '''Oliver:''' "He's an idiot. But what can a horse do..."
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Goliath is a retired dragon, who no longer kidnaps princesses, and just wants to be left alone fishing. However, he admits that in his active years, he was just like the other dragons in folklore.
* PunBasedTitle: The dragon and the slipper both became a plot point, but the title also refers to the relationship of Guinevra and Arthur, as in Hungarian a headstrong/aggressive wife is often called a "house dragon", while the equvivalent Hungarian slang term for HenpeckedHusband is "slipper husband". It also refers to Goliath, the actual dragon's personality, who's a pushover.
* ReluctantMonster: Goliath the dragon.
* SapientSteed: Oliver, Lancelot's horse can talk, and he's quite a DeadpanSnarker.
* SayMyName: After eating the pie, Lancelot spends the night shouting Guinevra's name to the sky, while crawling on the walls of the castle.
* SerenadeYourLover: Parodied by Lancelot's first attempt to gain Guinevra's love. Not only he was singing a love poem, written by Oliver, his horse (which contained compliments like "your golden mane" and "I'd love to kiss your hooves") but he sang it so terribly, even Oliver had to cover his ears!
* ShowWithInAShow: Matildka the witch watches a parody of the apple-eating scene of ''Literature/SnowWhite''[[note]]Not footage from the Disney film[[/note]] through her CrystalBall. When Snow White dies, Matildka exclaims about her love of documentary movies.
* SmartAnimalAverageHuman: Oliver, the smart and snarky horse, is paired up with Lancelot, the IdiotHero knight.
* SnarkyNonHumanSidekick: Oliver the horse is this to the IdiotHero Lancelot, often making sarcastic remarks on his master's tomfoolery.
* SnipeHunt: Lancelot is forbidden to return to Camelot without the slipper the dragon has stolen. Problem? There wasn't any dragon attack, nor slipper theft at all.
* StalkerWithACrush: Lancelot from the overdosed LovePotion.
* StockNessMonster: At the end of the film, Goliath hides in Loch Ness, and it's implied, that he becomes ''the'' Loch Ness Monster.
* TamperingWithFoodAndDrink: Two instances:
** First the LovePotion in the pie meant for Arthur.
** The ring in the cookie from Lancelot to Guinevra.
