Jake Long: O Dragão Ocidental

This is by far the best show on Disney Channel. It has a good mix of fantasy,romance and action. It's great if you're into dragons. T The story is about a kid,at the age of 13,named Jake Long. He's about your average New York kid,loves to skateboard,play games,and has two friends named Trixie and Spud. He has one secret however... He's the American Dragon. He is the first recorded dragon ever born in America. That's why they call him the American Dragon. His grandfather,Lao Shi,is also his teacher. He teaches Jake all the basics of becoming a dragon.Lao Shi is also known as Grampa,he's the Chinese Dragon. Or that's what they call him. Anyway,the show is overall good,it has some stuff that is similar to another animation called Danny Phantom,but that doesn't mean it's bad. It's a very good and interesting show. I rate it a 9/10. It's not Anime. SO many of you that think it's anime,it isn't.

> First Season < "American Dragon: Jake Long" (AD:JL) is not the greatest and original show Disney has ever made, but it's still a good show, funny, with cool characters. However, Jake's language (he speaks like a Rapper or something like that) is REALLY annoying (trust me). Anyway, there are other interesting characters in this DisneyShow, for example, Lao Shi, Jake's grandpa and Dragon Master. Lao is the first Chinese Dragon. Fu Dog is Lao Shi's shar-pei. He's a 600 years old dog. Trixie & Spud are Jake's best friends while Rose is Jake's crush.

The TvShow has a lot of villains though. The most recurring villains so far are The Huntsman and his Hunt-student (lol), Thorn (who is Rose's Dark-Side). However, the REAL enemy of the show is The Dark Dragon: we don't know much about him, for now...

> Second Season < The 2nd Season of "American Dragon" is even better than the 1st one! The Animation may be weird, but the story-line and the characters (and, eventually, the ratings) really improved. Jake speaks like a normal kid. Spud is smarter and Trixie is less annoying. I recently saw "Bring it On" and I think that the fight sequences were awesome. The 2nd Season has a Lot of CGI too. However, some fans still think that the new Season sucks: and that is NOT true. Even the villain are getting better! You really should watch the 2nd Season. Watch it, and you will love it!

Well... i see some people don't like this show - But I do! I've noticed the animation has changed over the years. This is a good teenage show about a hero (teenager who turns into a dragon). I find it entertaining... The show has its giggles and laughs and it can teach some lessons about life. For example, growing up and competitions. I like this show :). I was reading some of the other comments here, like the one on the actual webpage for this title. I agree with the reference to the older shows, and the television is coming out with shows that (for lack of better terms) suck. But, this particular show, I like.

Go Disney!. I hope it stays on family channel and the Disney channel.

I really like American Dragon but what do I know, I'm 34? My neighbor (an 11 year old boy) loves it! He's a huge Harry Potter fan and digs martial arts and thinks American Dragon is "really cool". This cartoon combines Karate Kid and Harry Potter and is very clever, almost too clever I think at times for kids but again, I had trouble following Yuggio and I'm 34. American Dragon is Asian influenced but not Annimae, thank god, it still has that Disney coated gloss. Some of the jokes are hilarious but may go over the kids heads but I love cartoons with adult humor. There is a lot going on in this cartoon with a WB teenage drama mixed with magical creatures and superhero - Jake saves the day endings. Kids have a short attention span and there is enough here to keep their minds excited for the half an hour. Great fun!

I absolutely love this show! Great characters, storyline, and theme! Where I am from this show comes on everyday at 5 am, so I record it every morning. Jake Long is humorous while teaching a lesson; and makes you appreciate the family you have and what you are blessed with. I adore Jake's friends Trixie and Spud, and of course Fu dog. His family seems to be the average family who raise their children to be hardworking, honest, and kind. I am excited to what happens during the rest of these episodes. I really hope that Disney will continue to air this TV show since it is among my favorites (including: Danny Phantom, The Wild Thornberrys, Ben 10, and Avatar:The Last Airbender) I recommend this show to any age. I am eighteen and I still enjoy this cartoon!
