Wonderful character development!

From my favorite movies..

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Hey, I'm 62 yrs old and stumbled onto this unique show Saturdays @ 8AM and now it's gone...where???? The movement of Jane's (and the other character's) hair is mesmerizing. Having no children or grandchildren, cartoons have passed me by and the newer mediums are so sophisticated. I grew up with the old-style flip page animation (sorry, not knowledgebale re: names of styles) which was pretty good compared to later stop-action stuff (boring) but this is hard to take your eyes off of. The subtle movements of real-life are captured and the writers are winners with the sarcasm of Dragon. It was a great way to start off Sats with a laugh (Dragon is a crack-up, reminds me of Alf). Good life lessons for youngsters too.

You 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.

I'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.

I really think this series is one of the best CGI type programs I've seen in a long time. The details of the animators made every effort to make the characters real looking, right down to the fingernails, the way Jane's hair moves or Dragon's claws move with each individual toe. This series not only appeals to kids but adults as well, the crafted story lines and humor kids love and the lessons and role-model qualities the adults will love. The voices seem to be fit perfectly for the characters, the animation is up there with Dreamworks & Pixar (if not better). the scenery is so colorful and vibrant that it pops right off the screen. The team at Weta Studios should be proud of their work and even happier that they have made so many people happy! I've seen all 26 episodes many times and never get tired of the show, there is always something new you miss! Hopefully this will not be the end (even though they wrapped up production) another season is still possible!
