Jane and the Dragon [Animated TV Series] (2006) Reviews

Originally telecast on Canada's YTV beginning January 8, 2006, the weekly CGI series Jane and the Dragon was a lighthearted medieval romp featuring (what else?) a girl named Jane and a dragon. Though slated to be groomed as a lady-in-waiting, feisty 13-year-old Jane chose instead to be trained as a valiant knight--and managed to get that training despite the fact that knighthood was an honor exclusively confined to males. The Dragon, an outwardly fierce, fire-breathing creature, was actually Jane's best friend, restraining himself from traditional dragonly behavior because he owed the girl a favor. Based on a children's book by Martin Baynton, Jane and the Dragon was brought to the United States as a component of NBC's Saturday-morning cartoon manifest beginning January 8, 2006. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
