Dragon Hunters (French: Chasseurs de dragons) is a French-Canadian
animated fantasy comedy television series created by Arthur Qwak and
produced by the French company Futurikon and Tooncan. It follows the
adventures of two hunters for hire through a medieval world of
floating land masses that is terrorized by a widely varying menace of
monsters known collectively as dragons. A 3-D feature film and a
videogame based on the same creative universe have also been released.
The original French title is Chasseurs de Dragons.Set in a Medieval
world made of Floating Land Masses, two men, Gwizdo and Lian-Chu, are
professional dragon hunters who have known each other since they were
children. Perpetually flat broke, they are forced to continually stay
at the Snoring Dragon Inn until they can get another dragon-hunting
contract to pay their rent. The proprietress of the inn is Jeanneline,
a three-time divorcee with two daughters, one of whom is also a
professional dragon hunter who doesn't see her mother much.Lian-Chu is
a sword-wielding, muscle-bound warrior who actually deals out the
dragon slaying. In contrast to Gwizdo, he is more kindhearted and
honorable. He is also an avid knitter. In the episode "The Conjunction
of the Three Moons", it is revealed that his parents were killed by a
dragon, and in "Farewell Lian-Chu" it's revealed that they were killed
because his uncle did not give notice to the people when the dragon
was on his way to the village. He only knows how to count to 10 and
can not read and thus depends on Gwizdo for this.Gwizdo is the brains
of the group, and negotiates their contracts with the helpless people
terrorized by dragons. He is a small, gangly young man who speaks with
a New York or New Jersey accent. He and Lian-Chu have known each other
since childhood, and were raised together in an orphanage called
Mother Hubbard's Farm. He is avaricious, cowardly, egotistical,
cynical and unsympathetic, and abuses Hector constantly with violence
and insults. However, he has a heart of gold hidden deep inside, which
is elicited by Lian-Chu, Zaza or anyone else he considers a close
friend. Furthermore, he is charismatic, and therefore something of a
lovable rogue. In "The Orphan Farm" it's revealed that his egotism
stems from his miserable childhood at Mother Hubbard's Orphan Farm,
where he was bullied, abused and called names for being scared all the
time. He is the one who can read, write and count at the inn,
therefore Lian-Chu and Jeanneline depend on him for business and
contracts. He also flies their airship, the St. George, and wears a
pilot's cap (which he very rarely takes off) and goggles. A good deal
of the time his attempts to exploit others' predicaments leads to
failure, either because of some oversight or because his better nature
prevails.
