Gigi Mc I live in the US and absolutely LOVE this series! I'm so happy that somehow I pick up the Qubo channel - secretly hoping 1 weekend they'll do a J&tD marathon! Sure the plots can be simple, and the theme song seems a bit annoying, but the characters & their relationships are great! What I'd LOVE to see is a prequel live movie to see how it *all* started. How the queen & king met, Jane starting out training to be a lady-in-waiting like her mom... the other kingdom inhabitants, Sir Theodore's past... per the theme song, we all know that the prince was snatched by Dragon at one point, but why *was* Cuthbert kidnapped? what really went on there? For all intents & purposes he should be afraid of Dragon, but they're reasonably cool with each other... hmm... Lavinia is by far my very favorite character-- She's so me when I was a kid! That's another thing - identifiability. It's all over the place with this series- love, friendship, loyalty, protection. Very strong. Well done!
acecondoruk British TV had Jane and the Dragon on @ 9:30 both days of the weekend.. All of a sudden, without notice, they pulled it off, WHY? This is a very good, educational, brilliant for children in this day and age to get a good understanding of what is ethical and morally correct. If you look in your own feedback, seems like everyone admires this program..So what happened to Jane and the Dragon here in the UK? Did the promotion run out? Did somebody cut the budget? Are the British to indirect aggressive (uppertiy and insolent) for their own good? They show crap to kids in this country, like the Tellitubbies who cause learning difficulties to all sorts of children according to the parents, now they take off a very good educational, warm, programme. Why? Any feedback on this? Regards, ACECONDORUK
fergusna This is a FABULOUS program! The animation style is unusual, but is faithful to the illustrations from the beloved original books. "Jane and the Dragon" is not attempting to look like "Finding Nemo" or "Cinderella"--it is a creative work with its own unique voice and unique look.I absolutely love this series (and am 39 years old). So does my mom (who is 65 and usually has no use for animation). Little girls also love spunky, brave, imperfect, funny, and loyal Jane, who has developed a really close and loving friendship with Dragon. (Of course, little boys can also relate to the knights backdrop of all the stories and the idea of befriending a dragon, and the program teaches boys a valuable lesson about treating girls as equals and building friendships with girls, too.) This is not the program for someone who likes shoot-em-'up, superhero style animation. (It is also not a program for sexist adults or "no girls allowed"-type boys.) Instead, it is a thoughtful, well-written, character-driven program. Jane is a great role model for girls and boys. The plots are interesting and empowering, and generally revolve around the problems Jane and Dragon face in the kingdom. The episodes explore the relationships between the characters and the characters are challenged to grow and change, just as real children are.I love "Jane and the Dragon", and I can't recommend it more highly to parents and lovers of good storytelling.
jak68 Caught this by accident while channel hopping and was blown away by its quality both in the animation and its humorous tone. The stories have a medieval setting based around a castle and Jane(her quest to train as a knight), the other kids in the castle and her best friend,who just happens to be a dragon. The dragon steals the show, as his mannerisms and sense of humour are just laugh-out-loud funny. The animation uses motion capture. I know that this is not the first time its been used in a cartoon(remake of Captain Scarlett)but nevertheless it adds quality and helps to lift this above the ordinary. The backgrounds appear to have been created to make them seem as if they were done in pencil;the subtle blend of this and the CGI work just gives this a fresh,different look.
