Dragon Tales

These beautiful dragons who have been co-designed with Ron Rodecker, famous dragon artist, teach children how to get along. My favorite episode is #133A "Not Separated At Birth" In this one Zak and Wheezie disagree with each other so much that they separate- with the help of magic crystals.

My only vice: Throughout season 3, there was a recurring theme that was repeated throughout several episodes- following directions. Guess the writers got sick and tired of people not following directions.

The show is set in Dragonland, a continent of some size on a different world, possibly a different dimension. [the writers are careful not to ruin the backplot] Emmy and Max find a dragon scale in their new house's playroom, which transports them to this peaceful magical place, and they've been going there since.

This is a show that stresses problem solving for young children. A six yr. old girl and her four yr old brother travel with the help of a dragon scale to a Dragonland and interact/play with four young dragons. The dragons' teacher helps direct them when they are having difficulty with their challenges. The music is fairly repetitive, and can be a bit much for parents, but it is great for kids. This show is a nice change from much of the programming aimed at these kids.

Dragon Tales is the kind of show that grabs most kid's attention and holds it for the duration. The show attempts to teach things like courtesy and empathy while the main characters have adventures in a fantasy world where dragons are the norm and children are rare, exotic creatures. Voice work is nice and the general look and feel of Dragonland is nice. Though the animation is not outstanding, I doubt kids notice or care how many frames it takes for a scene fade. I can't believe the other user comment I read that totally puts down the show. I'm sure most adults would find little entertainment value in a show that targets such a young audience, but that says nothing about the quality of the show for young kids. If you're looking for something clean and light for your toddler (and up), Dragon Tales is a great choice.

As an adult, I can't honestly say that this is the greatest piece of art that was ever made! But, my kids enjoy it. It's harmless fun that little kids can enjoy, and parents can rest assured that there is nothing bad in it. My kids like, it's "safe", and that's good enough for me

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.
