A [[All CGI Cartoon|CGI cartoon]] about the adventures of the eponymous characters and their friends, in the castle of the kingdom of Kippernia. Set in approximately the 800's, Jane is in training to become the first female knight ever. She gained the position at the age of ten when a dragon kidnapped the crown prince and she rescued him, finding out the the process that Dragon meant no harm, and thought that the prince was a key part of solving the dragon runes on his cave. After she returned with Prince Cuthbert and Dragon, King Caradoc allowed her to become a squire, which she had trained in secret for months beforehand.
The show is notable for having [[Multiple Demographic Appeal|unusually sophisticated characters, storytelling, and dialogue]] for a cartoon that most sources consider suitable for ''five-year-olds.'' The CGI, developed by the [[WETA|same studio]] behind the [[The Lord of the Rings]] and [[King Kong]] films, utilizes motion-capture technology and is almost free of the usual clumsiness that plagues other CGI series. The characters have realistic expressions and gestures and only occasionally dip into the [[Uncanny Valley]].
In spite of some glowing reviews from parents' groups and an Annie Award nomination, Jane's adventures with her dragon were [[Too Good to Last]], and the show has been on hiatus since 2006.
