American Dragon: Jake Long

Well... i see some people don't like this show - But I do! I've noticed the animation has changed over the years. This is a good teenage show about a hero (teenager who turns into a dragon). I find it entertaining... The show has its giggles and laughs and it can teach some lessons about life. For example, growing up and competitions. I like this show :). I was reading some of the other comments here, like the one on the actual webpage for this title. I agree with the reference to the older shows, and the television is coming out with shows that (for lack of better terms) suck. But, this particular show, I like.

Go Disney!. I hope it stays on family channel and the Disney channel.

This show does not have particularly overdrawn characters. I am a girl who loves this show and does't get to watch it enough, although there are some faults. The plot lines are a bit wishy- washy and sometimes lopsided. There should be a bit more mystery within this mythical world and the only thing that is mysterious is the huntsman and the secret identity of Rose, (by the way has that been revealed yet? I think she'll be the hunts girl ). The ideas are really good, maybe a little more editing, but the overall idea itself is great. I mean, compared to demonic Yu Gi Oh this show provides a screening of beasts not seen by kids, unless they are all reading Greek and Roman Mythology which I highly doubt, (Some do, I know and I have read all the Greek and Roman mythology and I'm 12), so they are even getting a bit of culture. Sure, Danny Phantom did it better, but is he still on the air? No, and like many timeless classic TV series, they are replaced by copies for the younger generation. Jake Long is a great show and I think it is fine.

> First Season < "American Dragon: Jake Long" (AD:JL) is not the greatest and original show Disney has ever made, but it's still a good show, funny, with cool characters. However, Jake's language (he speaks like a Rapper or something like that) is REALLY annoying (trust me). Anyway, there are other interesting characters in this DisneyShow, for example, Lao Shi, Jake's grandpa and Dragon Master. Lao is the first Chinese Dragon. Fu Dog is Lao Shi's shar-pei. He's a 600 years old dog. Trixie & Spud are Jake's best friends while Rose is Jake's crush.

The TvShow has a lot of villains though. The most recurring villains so far are The Huntsman and his Hunt-student (lol), Thorn (who is Rose's Dark-Side). However, the REAL enemy of the show is The Dark Dragon: we don't know much about him, for now...

> Second Season < The 2nd Season of "American Dragon" is even better than the 1st one! The Animation may be weird, but the story-line and the characters (and, eventually, the ratings) really improved. Jake speaks like a normal kid. Spud is smarter and Trixie is less annoying. I recently saw "Bring it On" and I think that the fight sequences were awesome. The 2nd Season has a Lot of CGI too. However, some fans still think that the new Season sucks: and that is NOT true. Even the villain are getting better! You really should watch the 2nd Season. Watch it, and you will love it!

This is the best show ever. I love it so much. I really don't like SS1 of the film because of the way the characters were drawn. It's just so childish and the story is so childish, too. But when I saw SS2 of the film, I watch it everyday, I can't stop watching, I fell in love with AmDrag since then. It's not just like other cartoons. It has action, romantic love, family, friends, things around us. The show taught us a lot of things, and really is a meaning show. Most of SS2 eps make me cry when I see the love between Jake - Lao Shi (Grandson - grandfather), Jake - Haley (siblings), Jake - his father, Jake - Rose (love) and Jake - Trix, Spud (friends). I save watched a lot of cartoons series, but only this show makes me cry, I am really attracted, the film makes me feel, think. This's not a show for kids only, the story of the film attracts adults. It's the only cartoon series has many fans who are more than 50. But Disney canceled the film, Disney ruined themself by canceling the best film ever. I love them more than anything else, I don't know if I can do something to bring it back, but if I know. I will do anything to save it. Let's show Disney that's they're all wrong to cancel a show like this.

I really like American Dragon but what do I know, I'm 34? My neighbor (an 11 year old boy) loves it! He's a huge Harry Potter fan and digs martial arts and thinks American Dragon is "really cool". This cartoon combines Karate Kid and Harry Potter and is very clever, almost too clever I think at times for kids but again, I had trouble following Yuggio and I'm 34. American Dragon is Asian influenced but not Annimae, thank god, it still has that Disney coated gloss. Some of the jokes are hilarious but may go over the kids heads but I love cartoons with adult humor. There is a lot going on in this cartoon with a WB teenage drama mixed with magical creatures and superhero - Jake saves the day endings. Kids have a short attention span and there is enough here to keep their minds excited for the half an hour. Great fun!
