I remembered watching this as a little kid back at the 90s when it was released on PBS, my all time favorite channel on TV and I've always loved it ever since, but a few years have passed and I've seemed to have forgotten it after all these years.
However, that doesn't take away the fact that I loved it so much. The premise is very decent (two kids (along with their friend in the third season of the show) use a magical pearl to transport themselves to a fantasy land with talking dragons and learn some valuable lessons about sharing, caring, and being nice to people while having some creative adventures). The characters are enjoyable and so cute. Max and Emmie are appealing, Kassie, the pink dragon, was so cute and her lines are great while Zak and Wheezie are hilariously likable. Even Wheezie's "Love it!" was very funny. The only character that didn't hold up for me was Ord, the blue dragon. He was very endearing in the first season, but at the second and third seasons, his whining was very irritating.
On the bright side, the music is very charming. The theme song was so catchy, but not in an irritating way. The stores are very easy to following in the first two seasons, but in the third season, it becomes repetitive by repeating the same formula.
The animation is not that great, but I do like the background art and some of the colors, though.
Overall, Dragon Tales, although flawed, is a pretty good children's show since it was target at an audience and would always be recommended to fans of PBS.
