Synopsis

Spoiler shield

The main character of the cartoon is a small and very greedy dragon with a sweet tooth. He ate all the food in his house and went to his teddy bear's birthday party. Arriving at his home as the very first of the guests, Drakosha immediately began to eat all of Mishutka’s sweets, without even giving him a gift. When the dragon ate everything he could, together with the rest of Mishutka’s guests (the doll Alyonka and the Puppy), they went through the TV to the confectionery factory.
