Dragon Tales is a children's television series chronicling the adventures of the human children Max and Emmy (brother and sister respectively) — whom transport themselves to Dragon Land through the use of a magical dragon scale with the line, "I wish, I wish with all my heart to fly with dragons in a land apart." at the beginning of each episode. The series was created by the late Nina Elias Bamberger of Sesame Workshop (who also helped create Tiny Planets and other children's shows). It is shown on PBS in the United States.
There, they meet up with their dragon friends — Cassie, Ord, Zak and Wheezie (the latter two conjoined twins), and their teacher, Quetzal, as they learn valuable life lessons (as well as a bit of Spanish; the series mixes in Spanish language elements in order to promote a bilingual learning experience for all audiences, this is being done more often in the 2004-2005 season episodes with the introduction of human neighbor Enrique joining Max and Emmy on their adventures). The show is divided into three segments: the first episode, a song, known as a "Dragon Tune" and the second episode. Each episode is approximately 10-12 minutes long.
