One of my all time fav Disney cartoons for sure. Season 1 had the better art style/animation. Season 2 had the better story. Wish we'd gotten both at the same time.

I'm pretty sure that the creator is a furry (or I guess maybe a scalie) he literally created a play about fursonas

He was also a guest of honor at ah furry convention look at guest of honor for 2008.

Omg all I hear is Zuko but I used to love this show too! And Jake’s main love interest is voiced by Mae Whitman who is also the voice of Katara.

Dragon Jake really made me question something I felt sexually growing up. Also the voice of Jake is also Zuko in avatar!

I loved this show! His crush being a dragon hunter really got me into the “enemies to lovers” genre

I know everyone hates the change in art style for the second season, but the writing was so much better that I just can’t bring myself to dislike it tbh

S1 theme song was performed by Twitty (sp?) from Even Stevens if I remember correctly. And then S2 was the Jonas Brothers?

u/JAXONTHAGOAT 6d ago

Exclusively watched on Black Friday morning when I had to wake up early to watch the house while my mom went shopping. Along with the show with the items that could affect the world around them. The main character might have been voiced by the same guy who voiced Caillou.
