Pocket Dragon Adventures is a 1998 syndicated animated series, based
on the Pocket Dragon character created by artist Real Musgrave, best
known from Pocket Dragons figurines also based on his work. The
cartoon is about the Pocket Dragons (a group of very small dragons)
who live with a kindly old wizard, and their many adventures. The
series was produced by Bohbot Entertainment, D'Ocon Productions and
DIC Productions, L.P. The show first aired in the
late-1990s/early-2000s in syndication in the US and about 50 other
countries.The show itself was created by Craig Miller and Marv
Wolfman, who produced and story edited the series. Together or
separately, they wrote over 40% of the total number of episodes.
Pocket Dragon Adventures was also the first animated series signed to
a labor contract with the Writers Guild of America.The setting is
shown to be in the Medieval era, with other elements thrown in, often
bizarre ones (e.g., yellow-painted taxicabs pulled by rhinoceroses).
Stories have included standard Medieval fare, such as armored knights,
and some science fiction elements, such as flying saucers.Each
half-hour episode contained two 11-minute cartoons. The stories
contained some educational quality, but were mostly written for fun
and imagination. The plots usually involved the Pocket Dragons getting
into some kind of mess, either due to their own actions or those of
others, and going through some wild and crazy situations while trying
to make things right.
