Dragon, based on the books by best-selling children's author Dav Pilkey, is a stop-motion series for preschoolers about a kind-hearted blue dragon named Dragon.

Set in a colorful world populated by a menagerie of animal pals, the series playfully explores themes that are universally identifiable to children: wanting a friend, being afraid of the dark, and trying new things.
