Prod. 2005 - Reluctant Dragon Final Story
The Final Story Meeting on The Reluctant Dragon of 7/31/1940 gives us some insights that clear up some things, like the naming of Sir Giles. After this meeting, the film went in full production.
Note also that the music was by Frank Churchill and Larry Morey

Is it more likely he has an uncredited role in RD or that they brought those not working on RD into the meeting to to bounce ideas off of?
