I used to love the Japanese Godzilla cartoons they showed on kids telly in the 70s. Of course Godzilla was an awesome goodie, as he's supposed to be (despite the Hollywood abomination of the nineties which made me really cross) in those so he may well have primed me for dragons too.

Then again, in the 70s there was also Ivor The Engine by the amazing Oliver Postgate, which had kindly Welsh dragons.

And yet again, there was Oliver Postgate's weird Northern/Icelandic myth Noggin The Nog, which I also loved. This is essential viewing for any Tolkien fan, as I've never yet met a fan who didn't like it (if they'd seen it!).
