Girls can do anything they set their minds to--even if they happen to live in 9th Century England. Based on characters from Martin Baynton's "Jane and the Dragon" books, Jane and the Dragon: A Dragon's Tale is the story of an unconventional, adolescent girl whose best friend is a talking, fire-breathing dragon. More suited to knighthood than the traditional role of lady in waiting, the headstrong Jane receives King Caradoc's permission to become the first female knight's apprentice after rescuing the young Prince.Jane is determined to succeed in becoming a knight in spite of a significant lack of support from her fellow knight-in-training Gunther. Her mental and physical strength shine as she trains with Sir Theodore, but equally important to her ultimate success is her mastery of lessons in teamwork, honesty, self-confidence, and taking responsibility for the consequences of her actions. Add in Jane's inherent sense of compassion, her dedication to helping others, and her strong friendships with Dragon, and castle servants Pepper, Rake, and Jester, and Jane is definitely one very special girl.
The striking, pencil-drawn look of this animated series, combined with the animators' careful attention to details like how hair and fabrics look and move, give this production a powerful sense of uniqueness and authenticity. The bonus "The Art of Jane and the Dragon" featurette explores some of the goals and techniques used in the animation process while "Character Profiles" provides additional background information for each of the five main characters. Also included is the program's original concept art. An entertaining and inspiring tale of a strong young girl determined to live up to her full potential, Jane and the Dragon: A Dragon's Tale is a winner for kids ages 5 and older. -- Tami Horiuchi
