The Dragon Tamers is a short story by E. Nesbit, written in the early 20th century. I first read it in the book The Book of Dragons, which was a collection of dragon related short stories, illustrated by Michael Hague. (Who also illustrated The Hobbit, Wind in the Willows and The Wizard of Oz among others)
The story involves a dragon who turns into a cat by eating nothing but bread and milk and becoming quite tame in the process. That was my idea for the theme of transformation, which I decided to tackle literally. I wanted a stop motion feel for the gif, so I created the images out of shapes and repositioned them, saving as a different jpeg every time.

I really enjoyed the idea. The short animation was cleaver and entertaining. I really was impressed by the story it was sweet. I especially love the simpleness of the contrast of the black silhouettes against the white background.
