Dragon Tales

"I wish, I wish, with all my heart to fly with Dragons in a land apart!"

I love Dragon Tales! It's the best show on PBS. I watch it all the time with my kids and they love the songs. The songs do get stuck you your head but hey that's better then listening to the 'Teletubbies!'

I'm also glad that they added new characters to the show.

"I wish, I wish, to use this ride, to go back home until next time."

Another reviewer seems to dislike or not understand children's television. There are so many shows today showing unpleasant and inappropriate behavior to our children, even under the guise of Y7 rated shows. Most of the cartoons on Toon Disney, for instance, revolve around the hero of the show defeating bad guys, who almost universally do and say mean things to the hero or other innocent people. I dislike my children watching these shows, as they don't need to be exposed to that kind of mean behavior influence. Yes, the hero always wins, but I'm not sure the kids always understand that almost everything the bad guy says is something that they should not say. On Dragon Tales, the themes usually include a problem that requires teamwork to solve, and always have a nice ending. I have never had problems with my kids emulating a bad behavior from that show.

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

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.

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.
