I thoroughly love this show. The animation made me a little hesitant to watch it at first but once I saw an entire episode, I was hooked. I love that this show flips the stereotypical gender roles and deals with real life issues. The characters are all well developed and they incorporate critical thinking skills for children. The perspective of our societal norms, not only in the cartoon but also in real life, are challenged by Jane and the Dragon. It doesn't just have a heroine as the main character, it also has a beautifully singing blacksmith and a spoiled rotten prince. I watch this show on Qubo, but I so wish they would bring it back and make more episodes!!

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!

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

Living in the UK I met the only other fan of Jane and the Dragon during a recent visit to Jamaica who watches it from the Caymen Islands. We shared an enthusiasm for the show and the family would marvel at our exchange.I understand there are at least 26 episodes and I have not seen anywhere near that many so am looking forward to the repeats or investing in a DVD when one is available.Dragon and Pepper are my favourites followed swiftly in no particular order by all the other characters.I would have given JATD 10/10 but for the opening song which comes across as a bit smart brat.Long live Jane and the Dragon. The world will soon yield to this best kept secret in the world.
