I-- I'm kind of at a loss for words here.
This ... this is an excellent concept. And apparently it's the winner of a contest? I can see why!
So... Disney... why the heck didn't ya make this into a fully fledged series!? I would've watched the heck out of this as a kid! Heck I'd have watched the heck out of this *as an adult*!!
I am so upset - for not knowing this existed until, like, 20 years after it came out, and for it not continuing on to become a series.
Cloud Dancer's really nice-looking, too, and being voiced by the late, great Tony Jay only adds to it...
(For that matter, whatever happened to the old trope of the Wise Old Dragon that helps inspire the youth? Puff the Magic Dragon was the most notable one and then there were a few others, like Quetzal, but then they just all kinda suddenly stopped.)

FA+

It's such a shame that this is literally all there is.
Heck, there isn't even fanart yet - though I'm hoping that with the rediscovery of this old classic, some fanart of old Cloud Dancer will start popping up here and there.
then we see the kid fall to his death and a dragon catch him and then he act as if a stick could beat such a beast so far it's kinda "meh" but then the dragon explain his specie could live forever if human weren't hunting them in this I think it's a bit too "green peace" and we all know how peoples were at the time
then fly sequence in wich the dragon act like a pet when the kid ask him if he can breath fire and then they attack the knights and we don't even know why the kid were chassed by them THEN the dragon explain why they wanted to kill the kid pretty dark right?
and that only one person can protect those giant dangerous beast that can do magic from humans wich is the child... a bit self centered
the idea was nice but it was missing something maybe some world building that's the problem with fantasy you have to explain everything to make it understandable
a serie would have been nice but because of the execution it did not happen
