During the film's early production phase, in 1992, Jim Henson's Creature Shop was hired by producer Raffaella De Laurentiis to create the dragon as an enormous animatronic. A warehouse in Camden Town was utilized for the project, becoming the new Creature Shop headquarters, and a full-sized dragon head and quarter-scale animatronic dragon puppet were produced. John Stephenson referred to the dragons as "one of the best jobs we've ever done." Only a small amount of test footage was shot. Dragonheart was put on hold, and when the film was finally completed, the dragon was created entirely through computer animation supplied by Industrial Light & Magic.Bacon, Matt.

* When Dragonheart actor Dennis Quaid appeared on Muppets Tonight in episode 207, he introduced a purported screen-test for the film in which he played "Sir Cumference of the Circle" and Kermit the Frog stretched his acting ability as a dragon named "Frogo" (who sounds nothing like Sean Connery).
