Shoyru and Shoyra

Shoyru and Shoyra were a pair of miniature dragons that appeared in Bush and Looney Original Shorts, then simply titled "Bush and Looney". Shoyru is golden and Shoyra is blue, although their first two appearances were in black-and-white, and their next appearances wouldn't come until the 1950s. Their first appearance was the 1938 short "Dragons Over the Coals", in which Ted the grizzly bear makes his first appearance away from his sister Petunia and attempts to eat them. After a 1939 short in this formula, the dragons went into a 20-year hiatus. They didn't return until the 1959 fantasy-comedy short, "Knock-Down Dragon Fight", in which he takes Dee, Pawprint, and Rabbit on a magical journey. This cartoon won many awards and was considered one of the best of that year. Their last appearance was the 1972 short, "The Main Dragons", which was in this formula. They starred in 15 shorts and are used occasionally in the modernized version of Bush and Looney.
