    You might even come to get a warm,happy feeling from watching this. THe "boxcar" or anchor show of NBC's Qubo Saturday morning animation block,this Canadian/English offering follows the friendship of a tomboy-ish yet warm and loyal would-be-lay-in-waiting named Jane and the wry yet insightful dragon she befriends. It seems she would rather be a Knight,and the Dragon has agreed to help her become one. The messages of loyalty,honor,bravery,love,friendship,trust,kindness,patience,etc. are a bit heavy-handed,but the easy,playful nature of this show will appeal to kids of all ages. If you're not up to anything all morning on Saturdays and/or have kids to tend to during that period of time,this show is a definite recommend.

    I, too, found this show by happy accident and enjoyed it thoroughly - its story, animation, humor - all of it! Now, I've introduced my wife and children to it and they love it, too! My 3-year-old watches the DVR'ed episode three or four times a day! :)A hearty "Thank you" to its entire team! (I'm looking for the series DVD even now!)Seeing that WETA is not surprising given the quality and I'm certainly glad to see it. I'm also a big fan of Nelvana (and most Canadian productions) so I'll be treasuring every episode they can produce. Yeah, yeah - I'm sure my kids will, too... LOL!

    This show is the most tedious, badly done and most pointless show I had seen in ages! The creators of the show should be dragged out onto the streets and shot! First off, the story is so weak! It is just about a little, precocious medieval servant girl called Jane who lives in a medieval kingdom who's is friends with a chatty, ignorant and childish green dragon named Dragon (very imaginative) and the plots are just about them falling out, somebody running off or one of somebody's valuables goes missing. The plots are so lazy and boring. Second, the CGI 3-D Animation is terrible and backwards. It looks like it was made in '95 rather than '05. They needed to get in better computer animators to do the job. Third, the voice-acting is really annoying. The boys sound like they are practising for a Shakespeare play and the girls sound like they are six years old other than 13 to 19! Finally, the opening theme song is incredibly annoying and bad written. It just go "Hey now! Hey now! She and the Dragon are friends now!". The worst I have ever heard in a long time (apart from the Emperor's New School!). I don't think this show is worth that 20 minutes of your time! Poor, tedious and pointless. 1/10

    Caught this by accident while channel hopping and was blown away by its quality both in the animation and its humorous tone. The stories have a medieval setting based around a castle and Jane(her quest to train as a knight), the other kids in the castle and her best friend,who just happens to be a dragon. The dragon steals the show, as his mannerisms and sense of humour are just laugh-out-loud funny. The animation uses motion capture. I know that this is not the first time its been used in a cartoon(remake of Captain Scarlett)but nevertheless it adds quality and helps to lift this above the ordinary. The backgrounds appear to have been created to make them seem as if they were done in pencil;the subtle blend of this and the CGI work just gives this a fresh,different look.
