Pocket Dragon Adventures: In Your Dreams: Kazoodles! Here's a show which I went into with very low expectations and ended up being delightfully surprised. I've been working on this show for the last few days and just finished it tonight.

The premise of the show is, as the title suggests, about a group of dragons who are "pocket sized." As is usually case with childrens' shows of this nature, each character basically has a single definite trait. For example Filbert is the leader due to being the oldest. Zoom-Zoom is obsessed with flying because he cant. Next is my favorite, Specs, who has over sized glasses and always wants to research while Scribbles wants to just go forward and create a new invention. Cuddles is, as his name implies, the one who wants to sleep all the time. Finally there is the young one of the group, Binky.

The show is episodic with 12 minute stories getting simply stories told just in time for a commercial. It all plays out like the kind of Saturday morning cartoon I would have watched were it made ten years earlier.

While the other new and more pricey Digiview release of a BKN show, Princess Starla, left me feeling as though I wasted my time and money, I really feel I got a bargain on this show. I will
be sure and get subsequent releases of this. I highly recommend it.
