Directed by: Don Chaffey
Starring: Mickey Rooney, Jim Dale, Red Buttons, Helen Reddy, Sean Marshall
Trivia: When Doc Terminus is tied to the harpoon shot from the cannon and goes through the building roof, you can hear a "Goofy Holler."
Trivia: Because it had such a large beacon, Disney had to obtain special permission from the local Coast Guard to use the lighthouse seen in the movie, since doing so during production would have caused confusion to passing ships.
Character mistake: During the "Money by the Pound" song, towards the end, Doc sings, "Can't you hear that jingle jangle sound." Hoagie (Red Buttons) starts mouthing the "Can't" before he catches himself.
[Dr. Terminus has just learned of Elliot's existence.]
Dr. Terminus: Do you think this kid Pete would sell it?
Hoagy: Money talks.
Dr. Terminus: First there's a dragon. Now he tells me money talks. Will miracles never cease?
Question: How is Elliott spelt, as I've seen it both Elliot and Elliott on various different Disney memorabilia?

Answer: In the original film, the credits show his name as "Elliott" (with 2 t's). In the remake, his name is "Elliot" (with 1 t). So older memorabilia will have "Elliott". In the original film, Elliott was the dragon's given name, in a manner of speaking. In the remake, Pete names the dragon after the puppy from his favorite book which was called "Elliot Gets Lost". This is the only reason I can find for the spelling change.
