Dragon Tales: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

 

Max and Emmy find a magical dragon scale upon moving into their new home. By reciting the rhyme, "I wish, I wish, with all my heart, to fly with dragons, in a land apart," the magic sends them to [[Magical Land|Dragonland]]. Once there, they meet and play with their new magical dragon friends: Cassie, Ord, Zak and Wheezie (the latter two are a [[Different As Night and Day|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.

 

 

Not to be confused with ''[[Dragon Tails]]''.

 

* [[Amazing Technicolor Wildlife]]: The dragons comes in all colors of the rainbow.

* [[Be Yourself]]

* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: Because everything is better bilingual

* [[Breath Weapon]]: Subverted. Fire breath is rarely used as a weapon and more like a tool in the series.

* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Definitely!", "LOoOoOoOve it!", among others. The latter is often the [[Berserk Button|tipping point]] for older viewers.

* [[Butt Monkey]]: Zak. It's very subtle, but watch the series carefully and you'll catch all sorts of little abuses happening to him.

* [[Dragon Rider]]:

** Emmy and Max get to ride on the dragons at least [[Once an Episode]].

* [[Feud Episode]]: Max and Ord begin fighting with each other about which color to use for the castles they were making whilst pretending to be kings. Eventually, they lament about how they're going to stop fighting. In the end, they solve the problem by combining their preferred colors to make one big castle.

** There was another episode where Emmy actually wished herself back home for a while after getting into an argument.

* [[Forgotten Birthday]]: The episode about Ord's birthday.

** [[Jaw Drop]] when his friends surprise him.

* [[Four-Fingered Hands]] on the dragons, five fingers for the humans.

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Priscilla, the manager at the lost-and-found, who during her first appearance, was feeling embarrassed because her wings (often called "feathers") were bigger than other dragons'. She eventually realized that ''boy dragons like girl dragons with big wings'' and raises her self-esteem.

* [[Gratuitous Spanish]]: Quetzal and Enrique. And sometimes, the original kids too.

** At one point they decided to sing "Are You Sleeping?" in Spanish, despite it being a French song.

* [[Grumpy Bear]]: Zak, to a certain extent.

* [[Holding Hands]] Max and Emmy do this to go home together

* [[Inept Aesop]]: Occasionally. See Inspirationally Disadvantaged immediately below. There was also a very odd episode where Weezy must learn patience and to wait her turn for a roller coaster. Thing is, one of the reasons humans enjoy and built roller coasters is because they are lacking in the wings department.

* [[Inspirationally Disadvantaged]]: Lorca. We get what they were trying to do with him, but it's still [[Inept Aesop|a little jarring]] to see a dragon in a wheelchair.

* [[Multiple Head Case]]: But they're two entirely different individuals.

** [[Fridge Logic|Of two entirely different sexes...]]

* [[Narnia Time]]: Can get confusing at times. It may be sunny outside when they leave for Dragon Land, and then when they get back, it'll be pouring rain. Also, it seems possible that the reason their parents don't notice they're missing is that the magic of Dragon Land / the dragon scale has a sort of [[Invisible to Normals]] effect, so that any time anyone starts to wonder where they are, they find themselves thinking about something else instead.

* [[OOC Is Serious Business]]:

* [[City of Adventure|Other World Of Adventure]]: Dragonland itself, of course.

* [[Our Dragons Are Different]]: One with the stomach of a bottomless pit, a little shy one from a extremely reproductive family, a two headed one, one in a wheelchair, a few Hispanic ones, one that is essentially an organic ''roller coaster''... enough variety for you?

* [[Pink Girl, Blue Boy]]: Cassie and Ord, respectively. Zak and Wheezie sort of count too as a green boy/purple girl.

* [[Primal Fear]]: Ord and his fear of darkness

** Played straight with Cyrus, arguably the most reptilian character in the series, who is portrayed as a thief and a liar.

* [[Riddle Me This]]: One of the trolls.

* [[Running Gag]]:

** Max and Emmy return home, and Max promptly falls asleep.

* [[Sesame Workshop]]: Produced this show.

* [[Shorter Means Smarter]]: Cassie is the [[The Smart Guy|Smart Girl]], and she becomes even smaller when frightened.

'''Zak:''' Only by five little minutes! }}

* [[Slumber Party]]: Max and Emmy need to get home, and Cassie is nervous about her first one. [[Subverted Trope|They agree to leave together at bedtime.]]

* [[Sugar Bowl]]: Dragon Land fits this trope perfectly.

* [[That Makes Me Feel Angry]]: Personified by characters such as the Grudge in "The Grudge Won't Budge." Used frequently in other instances as well.

* [[The Clan]] : Cassie. She has a bigger family than me and you, her brothers and sisters total 72.

* [[Title Theme Tune]]: "Dragon Tales, Dragon Tales! / Now it's time for Dragon Tales...!"

** [[Theme Tune Roll Call]]: For the first two seasons. Max and Emmy are mentioned first, then each of the main dragon Characters (Ord, Cassie, Zak and Wheezie)

* [[Water Is Dry]]: Whenever Max or Emmy fall in water.

* [[Winged Unicorn]]: Eunice in ''A Tall Tale''. She even has a golden horn. {{spoiler|And oh, [[Hey, It's That Voice!|was voiced by]] [[My Little Pony G 3|G3 Pinkie Pie]]}}
