Stanley's Dragon is a 1994's British family fantasy TV miniseries on CITV starring Judd Trichter and Mia Fothergill.
The film takes place in present-day England. Stanley (Trichter) is an American exchange student who, upon becoming separated from his friends in a cavern, finds an unusual rock. He and his friend Rosie (Fothergill) take it home and wash it, discovering it is actually an egg. Rosie suspects it is a dinosaur egg, but when it hatches, they discover the creature inside is actually a dragon. The dragon grows quickly and they name him "Olly". However, Olly is appropriated by the local authorities, who put him in a zoo. Suspecting Olly may be the last of his kind, Stanley endeavours to free him.
It was nominated for the British Academy Television Award for Best Children's Programme - Fiction or Entertainment.[1]
