Let's All Go To Dragonland
11 August 2016
Dragon Tales stars two siblings named Emmy and Max who move to a new house with dragon wallpaper in the playroom. They discover a dragon scale in one of the drawers, which takes them to a place where they can play with and interact with dragons and befriend big blue Ord, shy smart pink Cassie, and conjoined twins Zak and Wheezie. I personally have always found Wheezie to be pretty fun (sometimes I quote the "love it" thing), but everyone else is pretty cool as well. The songs between each episode, while not masterpieces, are quite catchy and fun for the kids. As an added bonus, it's perfect for kids in the process of moving, especially the first episode and the episode To Fly With A New Friend and Room For Change, since the whole premise of the series is Max and Emmy discovering how to get to Dragonland after moving to their new house. The season 3 episode To Fly With A New Friend also features the idea of moving by introducing Enrique, who moved from Colombia (it's never stated within the show but I assume that Max and Emmy live in America when they're not in Dragonland). In Room For Change, Cassie has to switch rooms because some new eggs will soon add to her already massively numbered siblings. She is at first reluctant to move to her new room but discovers something special inside. Points also go to great side characters like Quetzel, Quetzel's brother, Enrique, Lorca, Cassie's siblings, Mungus the giant, Sid Sycamore, Cyrus, Eunice the unicorn, Mr Pop, Miss Tibbs, the Nodlings, Polly Nimbus, Dr Booboogone, and Celeste. If I were to name any flaws, they're that Ord's whining gets a little grating after a while but not enough to render the show unwatchable, and the later episodes lack the magic of the earlier ones. Overall, I'd say that this is a sweet sweet series that I would recommend to anyone with any imagination whatsoever.
