There are women in the film, but none has anything you could call a personality.

... View MoreThrough painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

... View MoreI love this show! The animation is beautiful, and the way the backgrounds are done gives the show a "storybook" look. I love all of the characters. Everyone has a very distinct personality, and I enjoy watching Gunther struggle with being torn between loyalty to his father and doing what's right. The obvious (yet subtle) signs of affection expressed between Rake and Pepper are too cute! Dragon is hilarious (though sometimes dips into light potty humor). I am so happy to see a lovely, quality program that showcases dragons in a good light--they get the short end of the stick far too often. And of course there are morals/values taught within trials that the characters (usually Jane and Dragon) go through in each episode.I wish they would make a thousand more episodes of this wonderful show. I'm 25 years old, and I watch Jane and the Dragon on Qubo every day.
... View MoreYou might even come to get a warm,happy feeling from watching this. THe "boxcar" or anchor show of NBC's Qubo Saturday morning animation block,this Canadian/English offering follows the friendship of a tomboy-ish yet warm and loyal would-be-lay-in-waiting named Jane and the wry yet insightful dragon she befriends. It seems she would rather be a Knight,and the Dragon has agreed to help her become one. The messages of loyalty,honor,bravery,love,friendship,trust,kindness,patience,etc. are a bit heavy-handed,but the easy,playful nature of this show will appeal to kids of all ages. If you're not up to anything all morning on Saturdays and/or have kids to tend to during that period of time,this show is a definite recommend.
... View MoreI'm not a big fan of CGI, but for me the real attraction in this show is the writing. The writers do not write down to their audience. The characters are well defined, and the stories well done and with good humor. There is also a hint of mysteries to unfold, with the dragon runes and Jane's sword. "Jane and the Dragon" is more mature than "Arthur" or "Clifford", closer maybe to "Wild Thornberrys" or "Avatar". Definitely not "Invader Zim" :-). But certainly above the average of most "cartoon" programming. The style and flavor may not be to everybody's taste, but it is worth your time investigating. I just wish the Qubo schedule made the show more accessible in my area.
... View MoreI babysit on the weekends, and I really enjoy when Jane and the Dragon comes on. The animation is not feature film quality, but it's a television show, on Qubo or PBS or something, and when I first saw it i was actually impressed with the quality. the expressions and movements of the characters are spot on for a kids show, and actually subtle sometimes. The plots are those of a basic kids program- morals, doing the right thing, what to say to a friend who's upset, that sort of thing. I'm not sure what ages it's aimed for, but it manages to keep a three year old and and eighteen year old amused for half an hour and must be doing something right.And the theme song isn't that annoying, as the previous commenter claimed. It just really, really gets stuck in your head.
