  • A fun, enjoyable show, even for adults without kids (gasp!)

    After seeing what kind of trash non-educational kids shows are these days, it was a pleasant surprise when I stumbled on to Jane and the Dragon while visiting England, and even more excited to see that PBS had picked it up in the US. It is refreshing to see a show geared toward kids that does not treat kids like morons, and which teaches moral values like courage, loyalty and friendship for once. The characters are lovable and surprisingly well-written for a kid's show, the dialog is clever and the music is fantastic. I only wish they had made an episode showing the events alluded to in the title song (Dragon and Jane's first encounter).moreless

  • Jane shows it's okay to be a girl and do boys stuff. She and Dragon solve problems and cope with life in general.

    Target age for this show is 4-12 ... really designed to appeal to girls. Jane lives in in medieval times as a knight in training (not a lady-in-waiting). She's an amiable gangly red-haired young lady with a temperament to match her hair. Great characters, good character development.

    The animation is unique ... CGI with post processing to make it look like it's done in chalk. I'm guessing the post processing is to make it look similar to the book illustrations?

    This is another one we strip out the commercials for the kids to rewatch (tivo). I wish there were more episodes.moreless

  • Quality television for the little ones.

    I don't have kids myself, but my sympathies go out to people who do. What younger children see really can influence their development, and the younger ones really need the kind of quality entertainment provided my the makers of Jane and the Dragon. I've seen for myself what an addiction to "Grand Theft Auto" video games and worship of the motion picture "Scarface" did for my neighbor's kid...played a major role in turning him from a relatively well adjusted kid at 13 into the gang-banging jerk he became 5 short years later. He's on his way back from the edge of the abyss as of late...drug rehab and anger management classes or prison are the choices he's facing nowadays, and it's a toss-up weather he'll make it. Jane and the Dragon is a very well written and produced children's program that addresses character issues in a gentle way that's healthy for the kids and won't in any way encourage any kid's degeneration into the sociopathic subclasses the ranks of which are growing constantly and running rampant everywhere. We need more shows like this on Saturday mornings.moreless

    Oh god! How can somebody enjoy such a tedious show. The dragon isn't funny, the CG is horrid, and I feel like killing all of the characters.

    YTV never picks the good shows, they just take whatever they can get. Will and Dewit and mischief city sucks. Mona the vampire is lethal to thee eyes. I got bored of Just Jordan after first episode. The people who made growing up creepy were probably high.

    Man the characters are really really really really ugly. They look like peasants. Wait, did I just use a Medieval term.

    Storylines: Pathetic-1
    Characters: Ugly as hell-1
    CG: Average-4.6
    Theme song: Catchy-8.3moreless

  • Yeah its something Grampa would enjoy.

    OMG I hate this show. It's boring. It's not funny. And the animation is so bad. Well heres a brief summary of this show. A girl befriends a dragon. THe end. Hmm that's a rip-off of shrek I believe. The charaters are awful. Jane is stuck up. Dragon is this loser who thinks everything he says is funny. Since when are fart jokes funny? Cancel this show. And worst of all it's moved into the 7:00am timeslot.moreless
