Expert review

Dragon Tales is an American animated educational series produced by Sesame Workshop, broadcast from 1999 on PBS Kids and explicitly aimed at preschool-aged children. It follows Emmy and Max, two young siblings who travel via an enchanted dragon scale to a whimsical fantasy world populated by colorful and gentle dragons, with each episode conveying a simple life lesson such as friendship, bravery, or perseverance. The universe is entirely reassuring, the characters are warm and never threatening, and there is no notable sensitive content in terms of violence, fear, language, or sexuality. Parents can confidently allow toddlers and young children to watch this series on their own, and may choose to use episodes as a springboard for conversations about the values explored, such as cooperation, self-confidence, and embracing differences.

Synopsis

Two siblings, Max and Emmy, find an enchanted dragon scale capable of transporting them to a whimsical fantasy land inhabited by colorful anthropomorphic dragons by reciting a rhyme. They befriend four friendly dragons Cassie, Ord, Zak, Wheezie and Quetzal.

Difficult scenes

In some episodes, characters face mild situations of challenge or brief hesitation, such as daring to jump into a lake or approaching an unknown obstacle. These moments are always resolved quickly and positively, and are designed to show children how to overcome small fears with the support of friends. None of these moments are likely to worry or disturb a preschool-aged child.
