''The Calico Dragon'' is a 1935 animated short film (8 minutes) by [[Creator/HarmanAndIsing Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising]]. It was one of the WesternAnimation/HappyHarmonies shorts that Harman and Ising made for MGM.

A little girl falls asleep while reading a fairy tale about a dragon that held a princess captive in a castle. Her stuffed toys--a boy doll, a horse, and a dog, all made of calico--are profoundly moved by this story and vow to save the princess. The doll mounts the horse and uses a candy cane for a spear. They charge off into a land of calico, where they encounter various adorable calico animals before finally having to do battle with the calico dragon.
