I loved watching Dragon tales on Sprout and PBS. My favorite character was Max. The music and stories about the dragons are always still in my heart.

I can still remember this show all the time growing up. The show taught children so many great things. Children’s television is so different today. I remember watching Sesame Street, Mister Rogers Neighborhood, Arthur, ZOOM, and many others

I love this series because 3 things that make me uncomfortable are absent from it: overuse of cursing, violence and sexual references. Which makes it a calming series for me. And i'm an adult.

Dragon Tales was one of my favorites when I was a kid, and I think it still holds up today. It is the perfect show for little kids!

I can't say as a kid I got any of the lessons, but I can say it hit my imagination hard. This was also one of my first introductions to disability and I really believe it shaped me for the better.

Little me was absolutely devastated when Dragon Tales was canceled. Of course I was too young to understand it was canceled, so in my eyes they just stopped playing the show I liked.

I met the creator of Dragon Tales once at a con and he sung the entire theme for me. I was a mess, he's such a nice dude. Even signed some stuff for free. That's a highlight of my life I hope to never forget
