American Dragon in D23

[EbonyPatriot]

I'm a big fan of Disney's D23 and recently, they've mentioned American Dragon under their list of Disney dragons.

Jake Long—Disney Channel’s American Dragon: Jake Long (2005)
Chris Roman, executive producer and director, described American Dragon as “…a hybrid of both new and traditional Disney animation and storytelling techniques,” he said during the Disney Channel show’s development. “Oh, and having a 13-year-old boy who turns into a dragon as your lead character—from a story standpoint—well, that’s just very, very cool.”

Oh sweet! Awesome to see the American Dragon mentioned!

That really is cool because I really enjoyed the ADJL tv show and it was one of Disney's best things in the past ten years(other then Brother Bear 1 and 2 of course) but they somehow screwed it up and its off the air other then reruns.

Aww that's neat! And I also love how they added in Nessie too (for those of you that are not familiar with her, she comes from a short called The Ballad of Nessie that can be found from the new Winnie the Pooh movie!)

Ken'ichi: Arrgh I had completely forgotten that you liked American Dragon too (and I have your to my computer to boot) (I had thought Oreius and Epesi might like it). ^^

Heh I agree; I love seeing the more obscure shows mentioned. D23 does that a lot.

Oreius: Well... personally I can't say I agree that American Dragon as the best thing of Disney in the past ten years, excluding the Brother Bear films : that period includes Lilo and Stitch, Treasure Planet, Finding Nemo, Pirates of the Carribean: Curse of the Black Pearl, Home on the Range, both Chronicles of Narnia, Eight Below, the remake of Shaggy Dog, Cars, Meet the Robinsons, Enchanted, Walle, Bolt, Waking Sleeping Beauty, Toy Story 3, Bambi II, Cinderella III, D23, Disney Photopass, Up, Kim Possible Showcase, Little Mermaid on Broadway, Prep and Landing, Replacements, Suite Life on Deck, Tangled, Tarzan on Broadway, Kingdom Hearts series, How to Hook Up Your Home Theater, Disney's Aladdin the Musical Spectacular, Kim Possible, 101 Dalmatians II, Mickey's Philharmagic, Legend of Tarzan, Lion Ling 1 1/2, Three Musketeers, Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas, Light Motors Action, Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!, Hannah Montana, Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage, Toy Story the Musical, and the Middle, all of which I like too. ^^ But yeah, I liked American Dragon: it was a fun romp with good plots and animation.

Actually I'll have to find the exact years, but I think that it had the usual run for a Disney show, about two seasons. ^^ It could have been worst: Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!, for example, ended on a cliffhanger. ^^"

levy120: Heheh yep ^^; have you seen the animation exhibit at Disney's Hollywood Studios? That has Mushu too. ^^

Nadine: Heheh yep, they also have the gwythaints from Black Cauldron too. They actually a more in-depth article about Nessie here ^^: d23.disney.go.com/news/2011/04/a-loch-to-love/
