Jane and the Dragon

Jane and the Dragon is a CGI cartoon about the adventures of the eponymous characters and their friends, in the castle of the kingdom of Kippernia.

Premise
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 in 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.

Animation
The show is notable for having unusually sophisticated characters, storytelling, and dialogue for a cartoon that most sources consider suitable for five-year-olds. The CGI, developed by the same studio behind The Lord of the Rings and King Kong, utilizes motion-capture technology and is almost free of the usual clumsiness that plagues other CGI series.

Trivia

 * The show received some glowing reviews from parents' groups and even an Annie Award nomination.
