Girls can do anything they set their minds to - even if they happen to live in 9th Century Kippernium.
Based on characters from Martin Baynton's books, Jane and the Dragon is the story of an unconventional, adolescent girl whose best friend is a talking, fire-breathing dragon.
More suited to knighthood than the role of lady-in-waiting, Jane receives King Caradoc's permission to become the first female knight's apprentice after rescuing the young Prince.
Jane is determined to succeed in becoming a knight in spite of a significant lack of support from her fellow knight-in-training Gunther.
The striking, pencil-drawn look of this animated series, combined with the animators' careful attention to details give this production a powerful sense of uniqueness and authenticity.
