▲{{quote box|"Ugh, department store seersucker, all charred with dragon exhaust."}} '''''The Flight of Dragons''''' is a [[Rankin Bass Productions]] animated film, produced in [[The Eighties|1982]], but not aired until [[The Eighties|1986]]. It is loosely adapted from [[Gordon R Dickson]]'s fantasy novel [[The Dragon Knight|''The Dragon and the George,'']]. However, it replaces the main character with [[Peter Dickinson]], the real life author who wrote ''The Flight of Dragons'', an art book that proposes scientific reasons for the [[Here There Were Dragons|prior existence of dragons]]. Got all that?
The film is a [[Heroic Fantasy]] in which a twentieth-century "man of science", [[Literary Agent Hypothesis|named Peter Dickinson]], [[Time Travel|travels back in time]] to defeat [[Big Bad|Ommadon]], an evil wizard who isn't happy that humans are [[Magic Versus Science|choosing science over magic]]. Due to an accident, Peter ends up [[Sharing a Body]] with a dragon and he thus has to learn about how [[Our Dragons Are Different]] in order to survive. In the end, it turns out that the [[Powers That Be]] selected Peter because they needed someone who ''wouldn't'' [[Clap Your Hands If You Believe]].
