Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

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!

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 babysit on the weekends, and I really enjoy when Jane and the Dragon comes on. The animation is not feature film quality, but it's a television show, on Qubo or PBS or something, and when I first saw it i was actually impressed with the quality. the expressions and movements of the characters are spot on for a kids show, and actually subtle sometimes. The plots are those of a basic kids program- morals, doing the right thing, what to say to a friend who's upset, that sort of thing. I'm not sure what ages it's aimed for, but it manages to keep a three year old and and eighteen year old amused for half an hour and must be doing something right.And the theme song isn't that annoying, as the previous commenter claimed. It just really, really gets stuck in your head.

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.
