Der Drachentöter ist ein US-amerikanischer Fantasyfilm. Er erschien 1981 und ist im Vergleich mit anderen Disney-Filmen dieser Zeit weniger auf eine sehr junge Zielgruppe zugeschnitten, sondern bemühte sich um eine „realistischere“ Darstellung. Bei den Spezialeffekten wurden die technischen Möglichkeiten der frühen 1980er ausgereizt. Thematisch verarbeitet der Film verschiedene Drachentöter-Legenden. Der Film startete am 30. September 1982 in den deutschen Kinos.
