History Animation / DragonAndSlipper

* LovePotion: Guinevra asks one from Merlin. [[HilarityEnsues It doesn't end well]].

* AmusingInjuries: Mostly suffered by [[SlapstickKnowsNoGender Guinevra]].

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: After Lancelot eats the pie, all of his advances end up [[AmusingInjuries hurting Guinevra]]:
** First, he keeps her (and the entire castle, with the possible exception of Arthur, who remains completely oblivious) up all night, by [[SayMyName screaming her name to sky until dawn]].
** The next day he tries to serenade her, which ends with her and Peggy dropping (among other things) a wardrobe on him, to no effect. Unfortunately for her, it had her french knickers in it. Lancelot took it as a sign of her love and stuck it on his lance for the tourney. Immediately after winning, he slammed into her on the stairs, because he couldn't see from the bouquet of roses he was carrying, causing both of them to fall down the stairs, and leaving Guinevra with rose thorns stuck in her buttocks.
** Then he tries to use PuddleCoveringChivalry, as she is walking by in the garden. Unfortunately, it isn't a mud puddle, but one of the water pools in the garden, so when Guinevra steps on the cloak, she sinks into it. Lancelot lifts her out of it ''by her hair'', tearing out a good chunk of it.
** He hides a ring inside a cookie, and Guinevra breaks one of her teeth when she bites on it.
** He gives her an 'I Love You" Jack-in-the-box for Christmas, which punches her in the face, giving her a blackeye.

Arthur and Guinevra had been married for seven years, but throught out the years the king completely ignored his beautiful wife, favoring "sportmanship" over wedged life, throwing [[TheTourney tourneys]] for his knights everyday, 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 everyday 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 obsessesed with Guinevra from it.

* TheChewToy: Poor Guinevra. First she's 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 obsessesed with her, and puts her through hell with his advances, culminating in setting her room on fire at New Years Eve.
* CreativeClosingCredits: The jester returns and sings a reprise of the opening song, interpersed 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.

** 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.

* DelayedReaction: When Peggy tells Guinevra that "Arthur gave the pie to Lancelot", the queen's first reaction is scold her for refering to the king by his first name, before the realisation hits her.

** Oliver, Lancelot's horse. When Lancelot is under the influence of the love potion, his eccentric behaviour makes Oliver constantly calling him a moron.

* 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.

* SerenadeYourLover: Parodied by Lancelot's first attempt to gain Guinevra's love. Not only he was singing a love poem, writtem by Oliver, his horse (which tus contained compliments like "your golden mane" and "I'd love to kiss your hooves") but he song it so terribly, even Oliver had to cover his ears!

** The next day he tries to serande her, which ends with her and Peggy dropping (among other things) a wardrobe on him, to no effect. Unfortunately for her, it had her french knickers in it. Lancelot took it as a sign of her love and stuck it on his lance for the tourney. Immediately after winning, he slammed into her on the stairs, because he couldn't see from the bouquet of roses he was carrying, causing both of them to fall down the stairs, and leaving Guinevra with rose thorns stuck in her buttocks.

** 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.

* ObliviousToLove: Arthur remains completely unaware of Lancelot being bonkers with love for his wife, eventhough the entire castles figures it out the first night.

* 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/agressive 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.

* SayMyName: After eating the pie, Lancelot spends the nigh shouting Guinevra's name to the sky, while crawling on the walls of the castle.

* ShowWithInAShow: Matildka the witch watches a parody of the apple eating scene of ''Literature/SnowWhite''[[note]]Not a footage from the Disney film[[/note]] through her CrystalBall. When Snow White dies, Matildka exclaims her love of documentary movies.

** First the LovePotion in the pie, meant for Arthur.

* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY: In Lancelot's name, the "t" is silent.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar:
** The book Merlin looks up the recipe for the love potion from is ''Literature/KamaSutra''.
** Also the recipe of the potion contains "black goat hair", that Merlin initially has trouble reading out, commenting how badly written the syllable is. In Hungarian the words for "hair" ("szőr") and "crap" ("szar") are one syllable apart, making this a literal case.
** The delivery pelican claims to be a cursed princess, as he(?) holds his saggy bill-pouch in front of his chest, formed into two orbs.
** After Lancelot gets overdosed on the LovePotion, he spends a few seconds humping his bed and hugging his pillow, while continuously stuttering Guinevra's name, before starting to scream it to the sky.
** When Lancelot accuses Goliath of stealing Guinevra's slipper, the dragon exclaims his confusion about why he would want a woman's slipper, since he's not a "fetishist".

* ShowWithInAShow: Matildka the witch watches a parody of the apple eating scene of ''Literature/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs''[[note]]Not a footage from the Disney film[[/note]] through her CrystalBall. When Snow White dies, Matildka exclaims her love of documentary movies.

* YourCheatingHeart: Discussed in the beginning of the film. When Guinevra complains about Arthur neglecting her, she says, that if she was smarter she'd cheat on him, but immediately rejects the idea, because regardless of how neglectful her husband is, she loves him...and because she finds all the other men in the castle unattractive.

* {{Myth/Merlin}}: Portrayed as an old, eccentric hermit rather than a WizardClassic.

* KingArthur: Portrayed here as a middle-aged husband who is more interested in sports (jousting) than in romance.

* FelonyMisdemeanor: After Guinevra confessed the Love potion screw up to Arthur, they decided 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]].
