"I wish, I wish, with all my heart,

To fly with dragons, in a land apart!"

Dragon Tales was an animated Sesame Workshop and Columbia TriStar/Sony Pictures show on PBS Kids. Its original run lasted from 1999 to 2005. Repeats were also seen on PBSKids Sprout, but are no longer being broadcast, though a number of DVD releases remain available.

Max and Emmy find a magical dragon scale upon moving into their new home. By reciting an engraved rhyme, the magic sends them to Dragon Land. Once there, they meet and play with their new magical dragon friends: Ord, Cassie, Zak and Wheezie (the latter two are a two-headed dragon). They are also often accompanied by the Cool Old Guy dragon Quetzal, and in later seasons, they are joined by their friend Enrique, a boy of Emmy's age who moves next door from Colombia.

The show has a considerable Periphery Demographic, as it resembles a 1980s cartoon that was trapped in a time warp. How, you ask? Well, its colorful, fantasy themed, and is enjoyably trippy at times. Sound familiar? (Well, except for the fact that Sugar Apocalypses are not part of the package on this show - although, amusingly, this show shares some talent with the latest incarnation of that show.)
