for Composer in PUFF THE MAGIC DRAGON
Suggested by harrisonlee6
Puff the magic dragon lives by the sea, and frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee. In the first half or quarter of the movie, a boy named Jackie Paper had autism. He wasn't able to speak and his parents didn't know what to do, and the doctors they called weren't that much help. One day, while going to bed, he is visited by... A DRAGON! But it was a friendly dragon named Puff (who can create illusions with puffs of smoke from his mouth). Puff flies all over the world searching for children that his help most and Jackie is just the kind of kid. Puff helped Jackie speak in full sentences, but Jackie was still blue, so let the boy ride on his back and they travelled to far-off places where kings and princes bowed before them and pirates lowered their flags when Puff roared out his name. After coming home, Jackie's parents were impressed that he could speak now. When Jackie grows up, Puff gets depressed that his favourite friend can't travel with him anymore. But Jackie still remembers him, and he hopes he might visit his own daughter who's being treated miserably in school. When Puff doesn't arrive, Jackie suspects the dragon might be in danger. Rated PG for "action, peril and thematic elements."
