Who is Tobias the Reluctant Dragon?

Tobias the Reluctant Dragon is the titular character from The Reluctant Dragon, a 1941 film produced by Walt Disney Productions.

The film blends live-action and animation, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the Disney studio alongside the animated tale of Tobias. The story is adapted from Kenneth Grahame’s book of the same name.

Tobias is a gentle, poetry-loving dragon who is anything but typical for his species. Unlike fierce dragons from folklore, Tobias is more interested in composing verses than engaging in battles. When a boy befriends him and learns about his peaceful nature, they team up to stage a mock battle with Sir Giles, a kindly knight, to satisfy the townspeople’s expectations of a “heroic” fight. Tobias’s charm and comedic personality are central to the story, offering a humorous and heartwarming twist on traditional dragon lore.

In the animated sequence, Tobias the dragon is voiced by Barnett Parker, an actor known for his distinctive, lighthearted delivery.
