Hi,
I’ve been looking for this particular movie for years and sadly haven’t found or gotten the name at least. So, as far as I could remember, this movie was either from the 1980’s or 1990’s. I could be wrong but I think it had a boy and he either found an egg or a small dinosaur/dragon, raised it secretly and it grew huge rapidly. I also want to believe the settings was from the mid-evil times of swords and armor. In the end, the dinosaur/dragon who was protecting the kid is killed by the people near the beach and it was very sad. Not knowing that the dinosaur/dragon turned into an egg and floated to the kid on the sand, which made me kinda happy again. The dinosaur/dragon didn’t have wings.
“Stanley’s Dragon” (1994)?

Here is a trailer from YouTube.
Going to randomly chuck this in. Quite a recent movie 2007 so not in the time frame suggested.
The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep
The beast escapes not dies at the end but an egg is spotted on the beach at the end of the film.
