I watched this so many times on VHS when I was younger, to the point where just the intro jingle feels like a warm hug. I am so very glad that this didn’t become lost media.
As a nonverbal autistic kid my dad showing me this in 2002 was so important. Seeing another kid who didn't talk, but communicated with a dragon inspired me to communicate with haunted house employees who also quelled my fears. Than you dad, blessed be your memory.
Understandable as a foster kid I was exposed to this material and never forgot it the feeling of abandonment was not as bad with puff facing fears. Probably why I’m revisiting now over forty thank you again PuFF 💨💨🐲
I used to watch this all the time in the 80s. I agree with Adam. I thought this was like 90 mins, not 23. Amazing how your perspective is at 4 yrs old.
LOL ITS ONLY 23 MINUTES LONG!!! Thanks for pointing that out. Children's lives are formed by minutes, seconds. That's inspiration to always be gentle with children. You never know what 20 minutes of hell they'll remember.
i am so beyond happy i found this again. although i wasn't alive when this was made, my mother always loved this. she showed it to me when i was very young and it was a staple in my childhood. ive stuggled with severe anxiety throughout my life, starting at age 4. my mom showed me this and told me how when she was little, she would watch this when she was scared. she told me that even though puff himself isn't real, his magic was. so whenever i got scared, i would imagine puff was there with me, making me more brave. now im 18 and my mother passed nearly 6 years ago. i recently graduated, got a job, moved out, started college.. im starting my adult life. now, im more scared than ever. im so glad i found this, really needed it. it was an amazing reminder that i always have my own puff.
I remember crying my eyes out at the end of this when I watched it as a little kid. My parents had the song on vinyl and played it over and over until I fell asleep that night. Seriously....THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS! I will watch it again tonight, for the first time, with MY children!
As of writing this is the first time I am watching this, having been born in 2003 I mostly grew up on spongebob and cartoon network, so I dont have the nostalgia people associate with this, but even still I can tell it's one of those cartoons that feel more like a work of art than just a medium of entertainment.
I was born in 2007. I grew up mainly at my grandmother's house. She had this on VHS and I'd watch it all the time, so much so I learned to navigate a player at a young age.. I turn to this movie whenever I'm feeling down. My grandma died a year ago, I sang the song at her funeral. The song and movie may be old but its something that'll stick in a child's mind :>
Nostalgia shouldn't matter when you watched, but why instead. I discovered this back in '09 in grade 6, the story and songs were so charming it has been in my head for years. Be happy you watched it now, than never. Years from now, you'll be glad to have come across it
I'm so glad my mom showed me this when I was little even though it was reeeealy old compared to what most kids were watching, the legacy must never die!
As a kid in the 70s & early 80s this came on once a year like lots of shows and I'd look forward to it like crazy. This one, another Puff 'episode' and Rikki Tikki Tavi were huge favorites. So many kids will never see stuff like this anymore.
22:12 "....unless absolutely necessary." I didn't understand that line when I was a kid, but, I think it means that at different points "Puff" comes back into our lives to remind us how to be brave and strong when we need him most.
This. I heard the song multiple times since watching this as a very small kid (too young to even understand the full weight) and would remember this movie, but only vaguely. I never sought it out until today. I’m currently learning how to stop letting fear control me, now 21 and escaping/overcoming a lot of adversity. Today couldn’t have been a better day for me to sit down and watch it again for the first time since I was little. Saw it through a completely different lens- exactly when I needed to.
I'm a 38yr old male. When I was 4yrs old this aired on our local tv station. I always enjoyed it with my brothers. I always loved the song. Puff just made me happy. Now that I'm older I still enjoy it but it brings up so much emotion. Still helps me put things in perspective in dealing with anxiety. Just wanna say I think of Puff as Jesus always there with us when we face obstacles in our lives. Having faith helps us to see things clearly and makes us better equipped to deal with the anxiety. To all those suffering with anxiety like myself I love you all and wish you all could feel my telepathic hug.
I am a Christian... How does having faith help us to see things clearly? How does faith help with anxiety? The Bible says we are supposed to worry about nothing and pray about everything. But nothing in my life gets better, it just gets worse. I don't mean some limited period of time... I mean it started getting worse in childhood... I am a senior
Puff gives off the impression that he's a great psychiatrist. Even though he's not afraid to tell it how it is and acknowledges the negative parts of the world, he's still relatively optimistic and encouraging. Also, he even has a human side that shows during his depression of the sorry state of his land. Overall, he's a great character!
my dad showed me this as a kid. he is an alcoholic and narcissist who abused me my entire childhood. i remember the good parts of my dad and this cartoon brings it all back to me. my dad is creative and intelligent and funny. it hurts to remember the good pieces of my dad while knowing how much pain he’s caused me. i am now no contact with him and although i know it’s for the better it still hurts remembering how much of a wonderful dad he could be. i used to look up to him like god. now i find myself wishing for him to be different. it hurts. watching this hurts. i miss who i thought was my dad all those years ago.
Oh dear im so sorry to hear this im so sorry for you but you have s few beautiful memories Life is rarely kind to us and i hope and care that your life has been kind to you If not dont give up life is a blessing wexall have our shortfalls but im sending you a huge hug from England xxx
What I loved about these movies is the simple yet important messages they have when it comes to growing up. This one is about confronting your fears and self-confidence. Many fairytales have been used to teach life lessons. This one just made an extra effort. 👍👍
I first watched this at my grandmother’s house when I was between 6-8 years old (1999-2001). Now my three children have been watching this every night before bed for the last month. This is a timeless piece that truly teaches a valuable lesson to children about what fear means in life, and bravery to overcome said fear, and finally taking these lessons to helps others when they need it too. Much needed in today’s world.
Destiny Sings showed this show to my 5 yr old! He loved it and wanted a Puff Stuffed animal, closest this I could find is Elliot from Pete’s Dragon @ Disney store. He loves that dragon 😢
1. The first step in not to fearing is to see things as they are. 2. The next step in not fearing is to have the courage try --- you may fail, but at least you have made the effort.
I'm in my mid-20's and I still get emotional when Puff had to leave Jackie. At this rate, I'll be an old fart still getting emotional when Puff has to leave Jackie. Lol!
Does this take me back to when I was young, I am pushing 60 and still enjoy watching this one. Kids today would not even take a look at this. First time I saw Puff I was I guess I was 10 years old, that is going back almost 50 years.
I remember when this was new and broadcast on TV. I was sorta obsessed with it, but it completely disappeared and I've never seen it since, until today.
yes, you should see some of the crap on cartoon network my siblings watch... irreverent characters, no plot. the humour usually amounts to farts and randomness. the worst thing is the start acting like what they see on TV.
+virus4812 not just that, adventure time, regular show, gravity falls... that's all I can think off at the moment. adventure time has a game out for the Xbox called " let's explore the dungeon Because I don't know!!! ". They know there is so little point to their show that they can even make a decent game title out of so they revert back to the stupid " haha wow that's so random and quirky" irreverent shit for a title. Most cartoons now follow that blueprint, they won't be happy until everyone's a babbling moron.
"they're jealous of the stars. you see, the stars can fly a thousand thousand times higher than those clouds can even imagine. and so, like all small-spirited and stupid beings, they believe that they can deny beauty by hiding it." wow that really hit me in the feels
I was in second grade when I heard this and made me cry like a baby , that was like 50 or 51 years ago: I’m almost 58 and it still gets me a bit teary eyed. To think burgess Meredith did the voice of puff. All I can think of is when he played the penguin in Batman and played Mickey in rocky.
Wow, I had no idea it was Burgess Meredith who did his voice!!!! My first recollection of him was the very last movies before passing. Grumpy old men, and Grumpier old men. I knew he was in a ton of TV shows and movies, but didn't realize this was one of them!!
Born late 80's and grew up in the 90's,, while nija turtles and power rangers were famous this was my go to, as a child, for a picker upper and believe in myself. The nostalgia is strong on this one lol
I haven't seen this since the 95 ' granted it was made in 78 my mom and grandma had the tape and I would watch it over and over.. might explain why I dont entirely trust doctors and why I love the idea of living on an island or at least a Peninsula.. best kid cartoon EVER so glad it's on RUclips now my 8 and 3 yr old can enjoy it as well as myself... thanks for adding Signed one happy mom
I'm just a cartoon guy that loves old cartoons and music 🎶 this is a favorite song from Peter, Paul and Mary and Burgess Meredith was perfect for this iconic role
I’m going thru a really tough time in my life atm and my dad reminded me of puff the magic dragon. I used to watch it as a kid. I can’t believe I remember so much of this. But I was crying the whole time. I feel like this was all meant to be. I really needed puff to tell me to be brave right now. Thanks Puff ❤
Like everyone in my generation, I knew the song since I was a wee child. This movie was such fun to watch, even though by the I was 17. Heck, even in college, we enjoyed watching.
I remember watching this as a child I never thought if find it again my great granny loved to watch this with me ❤❤❤thank you for brining back beloved memories and for giving others the chance to enjoy an imagination film 😊
Yeah, I know right! I've never been officially diagnosed but several online tests place me there and I had a therapist tell me I showed signs of autism. I'm often completely unable to understand peoples emotions, I don't understand subtlety, and sometimes accidentally offend without even knowing how.
Cheers bud, I was born in 86 and grew up with this. I recommend the Don Bluth trio Land Before Time, An American Tail, and Secret of NIMH, three kids movies that are better watching as an adult.
@@MagetaTheLionHeart I love those movies! My parents were wise to raise us on the classics, and I certainly need to rewatch them. Another movie I particularly enjoyed was All Dogs Go to Heaven.
Thought it was just me…. My grandma had this “red” van and she had a CD’s with puff the magic dragon… & the muffin man… but this was my stuff and it literally just made me sob
@@MagetaTheLionHeart Don Bluth is truly a legendary animator. It's times like this, I wish we had more of his hand draw 2D animated movies and video games around today.
I'm going to be 42 years old, I can still recite this entire cartoon by heart. I just got done watching it for the millionth time after feeling down from recent sickness and pain that the doctors have no answer for. I'm on the mend hopefully but the lord knows I would give almost anything to go back to 8 years old, sitting on the couch, putting the well worn VHS cassette in the VCR watching this and my mom bringing me a cup of cocoa she made in the microwave by putting a tablespoon of chocolate syrup in milk, with a peanut butter sandwich ontop.
I know exactly what you mean. 4 Days ago, I became 22, 20 years younger than you to be exact, and I wanted to take a nostalgia trip, and got back into watching these Puff episodes. I'm so thankful to have these opportunities of nostalgia and getting to enjoy now what I did back then, but it also makes me have difficulties with existentialism. I guess, for example, I enjoy these animations in a different light than I did then when I was 10.
I used to watch this, when I was very young and my sister wasn’t even born yet, I used to have this on Dvd and I always loved to watch it on the TV all the time, but sadly my parents got a rid of it because I was getting way too old for it. I really missed watching it
When I was a kid, I was terrified of this movie solely because of the layout design for Hona Lee after it was ruined by the Sneezes. However, as I grew older, it started having a special place in my heart and manages to bring a tear to my eye every now and then. Also, if there are any of you watching this who are fans of Wander Over Yonder, tell me you can't find at least some comparisons between Wander and Puff
This taught me to imagine anything and started a life long love of dragons. When I am at my worst I sing the song and it always makes me feel better. Now I can share it with my kids. this is so awesome.
Remember watching this as a young boy haha, this was an awesome nostalgia trip. Its a lot deeper then i remember but this film will always be in my heart. Always makes me smile seeing that green dragon.
I've spoken about this show for years and people never seem to remember it. This show struck home to me because as a kid I had speech problems really bad. I was told by teachers that I was stupid. I suffer from ADHD and have my entire life. I've never forgotten this show and its shaped my life so much.
As a young girl in 1985, my father told my siblings and I that we we're “going to the movies” and surprised us with our first VHS player which came in 2 pieces, the top part holding the VHS cassette, while the bottom had the controls and clock on it. We were so excited as we watched the “Puff The Magic Dragon” movie on this new piece of technology that made its way into our living room. I will always remember this movie!
I grew up watching this movie. I loved it. It seemed to really get me. Funny how even now, at 26years old, this movie still makes tear up and touches me. I wish they'd re-release this as a dvd so I can show it to my baby.
I remember watching this movie when I was a kid thanks to cable TV. I didn't understand a single word of the movie cause I didn't speak english back then yet the movie left a strong mark in my memory. I cried back then now I understand why.
I wouldn't exactly call dragons (be having a fascination or belief in them) as "childish fantasies." Thanks to things like D&D, the Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and of course, Game of Thrones; people are becoming enamored with dragons again. Hopefully, the Jackie Paper in all of us won't stop believing in them
I remember this when I was a kid born in 1982. I was only 5 the first time seeing this, but my parents had seen Peter, Paul, & Mary many times and were fans of them, so I grew up listening to them.
I feel a mixture of Emotions whenever I hear Puff The Magic Dragon as it makes Me wish I had Friends like Puff and Jackie Paper. Puff The Magic Dragon is an Inspiration to Me :D
I was 32 when this came out. I grow up with the song. Kids care less if the sound is off or the writing is not perfect. Too many kids have grown up entirely too fast. Look at this with a youngster by your side and see through their eyes. Cut the umbilical cord to your phones and electronics and go out and play football with family till the bird graces the table and then be thankful you have family no matter how big or small. Love each other and thank our Lord too. Love: If you have someone hold them tight. If you have kids, take time to tossle their hair and sneak in hugs.
Nice, I was 4 or 5 :) My mother took me to see this. I am pretty sure I "got something" from this....it may explain why I have been to many foreign lands and met many people :)
Amazing. I'm neurodivergent and we had this movie as kids - our mother would put it on for us when I or one of my siblings was sick, especially with something that required soup and fuzzy blankets. Looking back as an adult, along with my sudden craving for hot soup in the middle of summer, I'm impressed at how this movie tackles mental conditions and parallels them to sniffles - something more readily recognizable as an illness.
I love this when I was a toddler I have memories of my mom making me lunch with pb&j and fruits which she would make pictures of like boats and houses. Me and my 3 siblings would watch this over and over. Thank you for posting this. Haven’t watched this fully in 8 years
Tee hee let’s go back even though we’re grown we can wear diapers and run around the table like we used to! “Puff the magic draaaaagon!” Well sing as we run around while our mothers make our food.
this movie made me feel so many emotions when i was a kid i didnt blink lol it opened my mind my heart ...im35 now and watch it with my 2 daughters..and i cry every time...i literally can feel what i felt the first day i popped in that vhs tape i found while going through the donations bin
Same here. But in the end I learned that not caring surprisingly gave me the confidence to endure it and I ended up making friends (also another shocker.) Although it got so much better in my adult years, had I known this sooner in my childhood (like elementary school), I would've stopped caring then. LOL!
I remember being so little, and my dad had a puff music box, which I loved to hear the music of when I slept. I loved that song, and then I learned it on my ukulele, and sometimes cry when I play it. I miss being really close to my dad, we are still in the same house and he's still the same dad, but he lives on his Clash of Clans.. It's upsetting!
Just watched this. It came out in 1978 when I was 14 years old. My parents actually bought me the vinyl record album… The 33 rpm one. It was great seeing the show again
I was obsessed with this movie as a child and had bought my kids watch it and always watch it when I’m down… I’m 36 years old it was my fav movie as a child now I have a five year old boy on the spectrum and a 15 year old girl not on the spectrum To me this reminds me exactly of autism but also it reminds me of this journey of life I’ve been on perhaps it relates to Spiritual awakening and autism I have a feeling that anyone on the spectrum has a great deal of spiritual depth And my five-year-old son I see so much amazing gifts they are not explainable I think he acted activated some sort of awakening within myself but who knows I think it also has to do with perspective very much
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!! I could never find this!!!! Its about 1.06 am right now, but I cant wait to show the kids tomorrow!!!! Thank you so much for posting this, so I can share these memories from my.childhood with my own kids!!!! 😍😍😍💖💖💖💖💗💗💗💗
I watched this so many times on VHS when I was younger, to the point where just the intro jingle feels like a warm hug. I am so very glad that this didn’t become lost media.
Kids today will never understand VHS ripples in a warped movie tape
the intro is not a jingle it's part of an actual song
@@AegisGaming99 Sung by Peter, Paul and Mary. I have the song in my collection performed by them and also a version done by The Irish Rovers.
Holy shit I'm getting major nostalgia From that song right now like I use to sing that with my classmates back in 2011😭
This is a feeling that i’ve chased for so long 🥺
As a nonverbal autistic kid my dad showing me this in 2002 was so important. Seeing another kid who didn't talk, but communicated with a dragon inspired me to communicate with haunted house employees who also quelled my fears. Than you dad, blessed be your memory.
God bless
How old are you now
If your nonverbal autistic which your not just wried why would you say those things I have autism to but am much higher then you
Understandable as a foster kid I was exposed to this material and never forgot it the feeling of abandonment was not as bad with puff facing fears. Probably why I’m revisiting now over forty thank you again PuFF 💨💨🐲
hell yea bruh I communicate with the dragon too bruh feel me 4/20 blaze it

Reminds me of what Kowl told She-Ra in the 80s cartoon: "The only REAL failure is to not try"
"Puff, why are we back in my room?"
"Because, it's time for you to return, and time is far stronger than magic."

If it just me or did cartoons use to have meaning and now are just to distract children?
+AG Moyer (Mairoknee) some cartoons still have some integrity like SU GF and OTGW pulse many others so don't give up hope
yes, you should see some of the crap on cartoon network my siblings watch... irreverent characters, no plot. the humour usually amounts to farts and randomness.
the worst thing is the start acting like what they see on TV.
Guy Pearson I assume your taking about ttg? cause they ply that ALL THE DAMN TIME!!
+virus4812 not just that, adventure time, regular show, gravity falls... that's all I can think off at the moment.
adventure time has a game out for the Xbox called " let's explore the dungeon Because I don't know!!! ". They know there is so little point to their show that they can even make a decent game title out of so they revert back to the stupid " haha wow that's so random and quirky" irreverent shit for a title.
Most cartoons now follow that blueprint, they won't be happy until everyone's a babbling moron.
Guy Pearson at has gotten REALLY serious over the years. im not joking the show has gotten dark
I cried this brought back so much memories
Same here!
I watched it this morning and brought back memories of my late dad and us watching it together when i was little. Was an emotional cartoon.
I cried thinking of my innocent childhood rather than this contractor worls
The living sneezes☺️
I grew up listening to the song Puff the Magic Dragon... The nostalgia is too real, thank god I found Peter, Paul and Mary in concert *cries*
Cool hey guy's watch my vids their cool
"they're jealous of the stars. you see, the stars can fly a thousand thousand times higher than those clouds can even imagine. and so, like all small-spirited and stupid beings, they believe that they can deny beauty by hiding it."
wow that really hit me in the feels
Adagio Sostenuto
The clouds are protestors/Liberals, the stars are Conservatives.
yo mama i think you should switch them
Adagio Sostenuto
And that’s why it’s all the clouds’ fault.
well hiding stuff is stupid
Sounds like modern democrats
I was in second grade when I heard this and made me cry like a baby , that was like 50 or 51 years ago: I’m almost 58 and it still gets me a bit teary eyed. To think burgess Meredith did the voice of puff. All I can think of is when he played the penguin in Batman and played Mickey in rocky.
Wow, I had no idea it was Burgess Meredith who did his voice!!!! My first recollection of him was the very last movies before passing. Grumpy old men, and Grumpier old men. I knew he was in a ton of TV shows and movies, but didn't realize this was one of them!!
I lo ed him in the twilight zone ❤
This is a tale of conquering childhood anxiety...💗
I haven't seen this in years, at 33, its still good!!
Born late 80's and grew up in the 90's,, while nija turtles and power rangers were famous this was my go to, as a child, for a picker upper and believe in myself. The nostalgia is strong on this one lol
I would watch this as a child. Omg the nostalgia is too real!!
Same omg
I haven't seen this since the 95 ' granted it was made in 78 my mom and grandma had the tape and I would watch it over and over.. might explain why I dont entirely trust doctors and why I love the idea of living on an island or at least a Peninsula.. best kid cartoon EVER so glad it's on RUclips now my 8 and 3 yr old can enjoy it as well as myself... thanks for adding
Signed one happy mom
90's**
I'm just a cartoon guy that loves old cartoons and music 🎶 this is a favorite song from Peter, Paul and Mary and Burgess Meredith was perfect for this iconic role
Anybody watching this is in 2019 ??? Last 5 mins of it always gets my heart 💔 😭😭
Yes, this brings back a lot of memories!
2022 ❤️
"I beg your pardon, could you tell me if you just saw a dragon pass by? I could swear I saw one. Heh. Most unusual nowadays."
Thank you so much for putting this on here man I remember watching this as a kid! This was great to able to watch it again!🙌🏾
I’m going thru a really tough time in my life atm and my dad reminded me of puff the magic dragon. I used to watch it as a kid. I can’t believe I remember so much of this. But I was crying the whole time. I feel like this was all meant to be. I really needed puff to tell me to be brave right now. Thanks Puff ❤
I feel the same I'm 39
Though time is for though people. I hope u r feeling better.
@@kittycornejo7147 Have you ever seen a Jim Henson show called Jim Henson’s Animal Jam?

This gets me everytime 😢
I watched this for the first time and I cried my eyes out 😂
@@DaemonPlayz08 Have you ever seen a Jim Henson show called Jim Henson’s Animal Jam?
Time will always be far more stronger than magic.
Nostalgia is stronger than time
Like everyone in my generation, I knew the song since I was a wee child. This movie was such fun to watch, even though by the I was 17. Heck, even in college, we enjoyed watching.
This was the first VHS I owned. I was born in '86 and got the film from Burger King, lol.
We're at the same age and I watched this on VHS too. Far across the sea in Hong Kong, we share the same childhood memory~
+bellmsky 😃 hooray for memories shared!!!
Which Burger King did YOU go to?
Somewhere in Michigan 😊
this sucks
I'm so lucky to have grown up with this, even if it was made for a different generation it's still amazing
I remember watching this as a child I never thought if find it again my great granny loved to watch this with me ❤❤❤thank you for brining back beloved memories and for giving others the chance to enjoy an imagination film 😊
Did they intend for this to be about autism? Because speaking as someone on the spectrum, this hits the nail on the head.
+rabid rabbitshuggers Seems so.
As a fellow autistic man, I couldn't agree more. ;)
Wow, spot on observation. :D
I'm not saying you're wrong, but I don't see how it relates to autism.
Yeah, I know right! I've never been officially diagnosed but several online tests place me there and I had a therapist tell me I showed signs of autism. I'm often completely unable to understand peoples emotions, I don't understand subtlety, and sometimes accidentally offend without even knowing how.
Ahh yes. I remember this cartoon. This was my childhood. So much nostalgia.
I was a kid in the late 90’s when I stumbled upon a VHS of this gem. Got it for a dollar, and let me tell you it’s the best dollar I ever spent
❤️
@@nikicarrie4071 Have you ever seen a Jim Henson show called Jim Henson’s Animal Jam?
I’m a 2000’s kid, and this is my first time seeing this. I cried my eyes out in awe of the magic and wonder in this masterpiece.
wow i actually wrote same comment you did.lol had no idea you did
Cheers bud, I was born in 86 and grew up with this. I recommend the Don Bluth trio Land Before Time, An American Tail, and Secret of NIMH, three kids movies that are better watching as an adult.
@@MagetaTheLionHeart I love those movies! My parents were wise to raise us on the classics, and I certainly need to rewatch them. Another movie I particularly enjoyed was All Dogs Go to Heaven.
Thought it was just me…. My grandma had this “red” van and she had a CD’s with puff the magic dragon… & the muffin man… but this was my stuff and it literally just made me sob
@@MagetaTheLionHeart Don Bluth is truly a legendary animator. It's times like this, I wish we had more of his hand draw 2D animated movies and video games around today.
im an 83 kid...this brings it all back its crazy!
When one stops being a kid ...we start to grow old ....
I'm going to be 42 years old, I can still recite this entire cartoon by heart.
I just got done watching it for the millionth time after feeling down from recent sickness and pain that the doctors have no answer for.
I'm on the mend hopefully but the lord knows I would give almost anything to go back to 8 years old, sitting on the couch, putting the well worn VHS cassette in the VCR watching this and my mom bringing me a cup of cocoa she made in the microwave by putting a tablespoon of chocolate syrup in milk, with a peanut butter sandwich ontop.
I know exactly what you mean. 4 Days ago, I became 22, 20 years younger than you to be exact, and I wanted to take a nostalgia trip, and got back into watching these Puff episodes. I'm so thankful to have these opportunities of nostalgia and getting to enjoy now what I did back then, but it also makes me have difficulties with existentialism.
I guess, for example, I enjoy these animations in a different light than I did then when I was 10.
My favorite childhood cartoons of all time always brings me back 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I used to watch this, when I was very young and my sister wasn’t even born yet, I used to have this on Dvd and I always loved to watch it on the TV all the time, but sadly my parents got a rid of it because I was getting way too old for it. I really missed watching it
Just found this video by chance, haven't seen it in 25 years and still remembered a few quotes!
This was my jam as a little kid.
I wanna be a kid again...
You and me both, but I wanna be a kid growing up in the late 70's & 80s again.
Oh! Me, too, you guys! 🌈
We are, just believe in that Magic Puff!!
Me too. I'm 46 soon.
When I was a kid, I was terrified of this movie solely because of the layout design for Hona Lee after it was ruined by the Sneezes. However, as I grew older, it started having a special place in my heart and manages to bring a tear to my eye every now and then.
Also, if there are any of you watching this who are fans of Wander Over Yonder, tell me you can't find at least some comparisons between Wander and Puff
This taught me to imagine anything and started a life long love of dragons. When I am at my worst I sing the song and it always makes me feel better. Now I can share it with my kids. this is so awesome.
Sweet, sweet memories...
huskiesghost Same :)
yes😢
huskiesghost I'm crying, I loved this when I was younger
So true😢
those really good day Music Academy
"Ill never forget you, Puff."
"Well see..."
That part made me cry
this cartoon changed my life
Remember watching this as a young boy haha, this was an awesome nostalgia trip. Its a lot deeper then i remember but this film will always be in my heart. Always makes me smile seeing that green dragon.
I've spoken about this show for years and people never seem to remember it. This show struck home to me because as a kid I had speech problems really bad. I was told by teachers that I was stupid. I suffer from ADHD and have my entire life. I've never forgotten this show and its shaped my life so much.
As a young girl in 1985, my father told my siblings and I that we we're “going to the movies” and surprised us with our first VHS player which came in 2 pieces, the top part holding the VHS cassette, while the bottom had the controls and clock on it. We were so excited as we watched the “Puff The Magic Dragon” movie on this new piece of technology that made its way into our living room. I will always remember this movie!
I grew up watching this movie. I loved it. It seemed to really get me. Funny how even now, at 26years old, this movie still makes tear up and touches me. I wish they'd re-release this as a dvd so I can show it to my baby.
I'm 26 too and this cartoon has had a gigantic effect on my life (I'll spare the details)...
Narrated by none other than Burgess Meredith!
I love it!
Not narrated, did the voice of Puff
The Penguin!!!!
Raink ! Raink ! Raink !
Holy shit I just realized that it was penguin
My son loved this as a child,never got tired of watching it. He knew every word to the son, still does , and he’s 57 years old!! Lol
Meant song ,not son.
I could listen to Burgess Meredith’s voice all day long.
I remember watching this movie when I was a kid thanks to cable TV. I didn't understand a single word of the movie cause I didn't speak english back then yet the movie left a strong mark in my memory. I cried back then now I understand why.
I wouldn't exactly call dragons (be having a fascination or belief in them) as "childish fantasies."
Thanks to things like D&D, the Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and of course, Game of Thrones; people are becoming enamored with dragons again. Hopefully, the Jackie Paper in all of us won't stop believing in them
I remember this when I was a kid born in 1982. I was only 5 the first time seeing this, but my parents had seen Peter, Paul, & Mary many times and were fans of them, so I grew up listening to them.
I feel a mixture of Emotions whenever I hear Puff The Magic Dragon as it makes Me wish I had Friends like Puff and Jackie Paper. Puff The Magic Dragon is an Inspiration to Me :D
I caught a Staryu in Pokemon, so it's kinda like that little star thingy. :D
A childhood classic, brings back so many feelings and memories.
You're welcome! I always looked for it, but could never find it. Once I was able to, I knew I had to upload it for everyone!
Thank You For Uploading This Precious Classic ❤️
this was my altime favorite thing to watch when i was little.
I haven't seen this since I was a kid. It came out the year I was born. I still love it!!
What a beutiful warm Color tone,this can never be achieved with The digital animation technology of today.
Time is far stronger, then magic -PUFF THE MAGIC DRAGON
+Dr Quak
That was such a powerful quote.
***** Much yes my friend.
I was 32 when this came out. I grow up with the song. Kids care less if the sound is off or the writing is not perfect. Too many kids have grown up entirely too fast. Look at this with a youngster by your side and see through their eyes. Cut the umbilical cord to your phones and electronics and go out and play football with family till the bird graces the table and then be thankful you have family no matter how big or small. Love each other and thank our Lord too. Love: If you have someone hold them tight. If you have kids, take time to tossle their hair and sneak in hugs.
Nice, I was 4 or 5 :) My mother took me to see this. I am pretty sure I "got something" from this....it may explain why I have been to many foreign lands and met many people :)
Amazing. I'm neurodivergent and we had this movie as kids - our mother would put it on for us when I or one of my siblings was sick, especially with something that required soup and fuzzy blankets. Looking back as an adult, along with my sudden craving for hot soup in the middle of summer, I'm impressed at how this movie tackles mental conditions and parallels them to sniffles - something more readily recognizable as an illness.
I cried s0 much watching this as a child...... Great memories
Puff the Magic Dragon lived by the sea and frolick in the autumn mist in the land called Honah Lee
I love this when I was a toddler I have memories of my mom making me lunch with pb&j and fruits which she would make pictures of like boats and houses. Me and my 3 siblings would watch this over and over. Thank you for posting this. Haven’t watched this fully in 8 years
Tee hee let’s go back even though we’re grown we can wear diapers and run around the table like we used to! “Puff the magic draaaaagon!” Well sing as we run around while our mothers make our food.
@@honestone4306 Have you ever seen a Jim Henson show called Jim Henson’s Animal Jam?
this movie made me feel so many emotions when i was a kid i didnt blink lol it opened my mind my heart ...im35 now and watch it with my 2 daughters..and i cry every time...i literally can feel what i felt the first day i popped in that vhs tape i found while going through the donations bin
*PUFF THE MAGIC DRAGON LIVED BY THE SEA*
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honalee
Little jackie paper, loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and silly wax and lots of fancy stuff.
TOGETHER THEY WOULD TRAVEL, IN A BOAT WITH BILLOWED SAILS
JACKIE KEPT A LOOKOUT PERCHED ON PUFF'S GIGANTIC TAIL
I am so glad you posted this. I loved this as a kid in the 80's thank you so much!
That intro made my heart ache with nostalgia EVEN THOUGH I NEVER SAW THIS AS A CHILD.
I remember watching this when I was young. I loved this movie.
First movie I ever remember watching as a child with my mother. Instant fave and still our fave and I'll be 36 this year and my mom 71
When I saw this as a kid, I remember how I related to Jackie because I was such a strange kid..and most people didn't like me
Same here. But in the end I learned that not caring surprisingly gave me the confidence to endure it and I ended up making friends (also another shocker.) Although it got so much better in my adult years, had I known this sooner in my childhood (like elementary school), I would've stopped caring then. LOL!
I was the same way. Still strange, still learning ways not to totally screw up socially which happens anyway occasionally.
Naginaoeofschwarz I
Naginaoeofschwarz Aww i can relate ♡ I still feel that way sometimes
Naginaoeofschwarz same here
Haven’t seen this since I was a little kid, but it still resonates. Especially now.
Thanks for the upload.
I remember being so little, and my dad had a puff music box, which I loved to hear the music of when I slept. I loved that song, and then I learned it on my ukulele, and sometimes cry when I play it. I miss being really close to my dad, we are still in the same house and he's still the same dad, but he lives on his Clash of Clans.. It's upsetting!
Just watched this. It came out in 1978 when I was 14 years old. My parents actually bought me the vinyl record album… The 33 rpm one. It was great seeing the show again
I always thought it was adorable when the pirate man was happier as a chef lool see everyone has their soft spots
I was obsessed with this movie as a child and had bought my kids watch it and always watch it when I’m down… I’m 36 years old it was my fav movie as a child now I have a five year old boy on the spectrum and a 15 year old girl not on the spectrum
To me this reminds me exactly of autism but also it reminds me of this journey of life I’ve been on perhaps it relates to Spiritual awakening and autism I have a feeling that anyone on the spectrum has a great deal of spiritual depth And my five-year-old son I see so much amazing gifts they are not explainable I think he acted activated some sort of awakening within myself but who knows I think it also has to do with perspective very much
Feel like the kid in the story but when growing older, things turn back to how I felt on the chair
Burgess Meredith had a very soothing voice. A little different from when he portrayed Mickey from the Rocky movies.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!! I could never find this!!!! Its about 1.06 am right now, but I cant wait to show the kids tomorrow!!!! Thank you so much for posting this, so I can share these memories from my.childhood with my own kids!!!! 😍😍😍💖💖💖💖💗💗💗💗
Still watching in 2019.. Reminds me so much of my childhood.. Now my kids love puff
This makes me live a distant memory.
had to be 5 when I first seen this and cried every time
