The Dragon is the main antagonist in "The Pagemaster" (1994). The film is half live action, half animated, and a production of Turner Pictures and Hanna-Barbera. The story starts in live action, where a young boy, Richard (played by Macaulay Culkin) seeks refuge from a sudden storm in a library. Within the library he meets the Pagemaster, who sends him on a journey through the library. Richard encounters 3 sentient books, Adventure, Fantasy and Horror and the four characters start to travel through an animated world made up of classic literary characters, battling Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde, the sperm whale Moby Dick, the pirates from Treasure Island, among other adventures. No journey through Adventure, Fantasy and Horror literature would be complete without a dragon, and so Richard must face one as his final test.
