童年拾趣：經典動畫Dragon Tales

Dragon Tales is an animated children's television series chronicling the adventures of the human children Max and Emmy (brother and sister respectively) and their friend Enrique. The television series was created by the late Nina Elias-Bamberger of Sesame Workshop, who also helped create Tiny Planets and other children's shows. It has been shown on the PBS Kids network in the United States since September 6, 1999.

Dragon Tales was created by Laguna Beach, California artist and retired educator, Ron Rodecker. Drawing upon a long career of painting whimsical dragons in watercolor, Rodecker created the characters for the hit TV show based upon experiences from his own life and his career working with children.

The children transport themselves to Dragon Land through the use of a magical scale given to them by a musical Dragon with the line, "I wish, I wish with all my heart to fly with Dragons in a land apart," at the beginning of each episode. They are then transported back to their world using the same refrain and the phrase, "I wish, I wish to use this rhyme to go back home until next time.”

In Dragon Land, the children meet up with their Dragon friends — Cassie, Ord, Zak and Wheezie (the latter two being conjoined twins) — and their bilingual teacher, Quetzal, as they learn valuable life lessons, aided by the fact that the children are inexperienced with the magical flora and fauna of Dragon Land.
