Does anyone recall the title of the movie where a young boy grew up with a dragon, but upon reaching manhood sent the dragon away?

It may be Dragonworld: Courtland Mead stars in this whimsical, live-action children's fantasy, as Johnny McGowan, a young man living on his family spread in Scotland. The somewhat lonely Johnny wishes for a friend, and is startled when that wish materializes before him in the form of a genuine fire-breathing dragon. Fortunately it's a nice dragon, so the two get along fine. But when a filmmaker and an unscrupulous promoter discover the creature and try to exploit it by building a theme park, 'Dragonworld,' around it, but Johnny evinces great resistance. http://www.allmovie.com/cg/avg.dll?p=avg&sql=1:131311 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragonworld This is NOT an animated movie -- Here's a couple of photos (Scroll down to Dragonworld): http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.draconian.com/movie/dw2.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.draconian.com/movie/movie.htm&h=170&w=157&sz=14&hl=en&start=7&um=1&tbnid=O0u7ZKLgNYwWQM:&tbnh=99&tbnw=91&prev=/images%3Fq%3Ddragonworld%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26rls%3Dcom.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox%26rlz%3D1I7SNYF%26sa%3DN Aug 16 08, 5:14 PM

There was also "Pete's Dragon". Elliot the Dragon left after Pete found a good home - to help another child in need. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete's_Dragon Aug 16 08, 10:21 PM
