OK, I'm posting this to see if anyone remembers this short animated sequence. I have no idea what it was in-- a kid's show or some other random short from way back.

It's very simple but hilarious: A bird is sitting there chirping out a nice melody, and a dragon sits there next to the bird and enjoys it. Then the bird ends it's nice little tune and the dragon wants to try whistling a tune now. He goes "lalalalaaaaa.." in a really goofy voice to warm up, and then he tries to whistle a tune and ends up blowing a big fireball instead, which envelops and crisps the little bird. Then the dragon opens his eyes, sees what happened, and then recoils in terror and utters a funny taken-aback "URK!!"
And that's it!
It's freakin hilarious and I have to know where it's from!!!
Anyone remember this?
Thanks

Perhaps it was one of the shorts they used to have on Kablam! on Nickelodeon?

It's from The Reluctant Dragon, a 1941 feature (re-released as a short in 1946) by Disney.
