Originally released in 1989 and 1990 across Europe, Dragon and Slippers was picked up for North American release by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer for a fall release in 1991.

The New York Times wrote "it a fantasy-adventure for the whole Family", NBC-TV Calls it "Children enjoy Watching it again and again"
Los Angeles Times wrote that the movie set a standard as far beneath that of Sleeping Beauty, Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert awarded the film with "Two Thumbs Up"
