Pocket Dragons

Show Summary

Aired: 1998 - Unknown
Show Type: Animated
Country of Origin: UK

What can I say? I don't know what attracted me to this cartoon, but the first time I saw it, I was instantly enchanted. For those who remember some of the cuter 80's cartoons, this is like that only with 90's animation. Don't want your kids watching an action cartoon like Spider-man, but they're a bit too old for the youngster programs? Hey! This cartoon is a perfect balance in between. And it's not like some of the more bizarre cartoons with sick humor either. The characters are cute, tiny dragons, and the things they say are sometimes hilarious. Yet their cuteness isn't overly flowery. They get into wild adventures, yet nobody gets hurt or whacked in a ridiculous fashion like you see in some of the other cartoons. And even the occasional villain, who also hardly ever gets hurt, is an amusing character. The episodes also occasionally teach various things. Every once in a while, the characters invent things which help them overcome their small size. This might help the child understand various basics about physics. Other times, however, the inventions are just plain weird. Lessons about friendship and other things occasionally pop up too. However, the educational value of this cartoon is small compared to the real educational programs. The main emphasis of this cartoon is on wacky adventures, good clean fun, and silly hilariousness and mishaps. This is a fabulous cartoon.

FINALLY!! Someone put this show up here at long last. I've been checking occasionally, but up until now my searches always came up empty. Thank you to whoever added this show. If you haven't guessed already, I do remember the ever adorable "Pockety Dragons" as G-norman the G-nome used to call them. I never knew the show originally came out in the 80s, though. I first discovered the show in the mid-90s. I also never knew for a long time that like "Pound Puppies", "My Little Ponies", and "Littlest Pet Shop" that "Pocket Dragon Adventures" was based on a line of toys.

I miss the show. Wish they'd release it on television. I think it would be one of the unique cartoons that I'd still enjoy even in my 20s. I'll go ahead and post the theme lyric just in case no one else has a copy the sequence to upload either. WOOKERPOP!!

Pocket Dragons! Pocket Dragons!
Pocket Dragons! They're brave as they can be
They're small, but what you get isn't always what you see
Something new 'round every corner action-packed with mystery
Pocket Dragon Adventures!

There's Cuddles and there's Binky. Philbert always thinks he's right
Scribbles loves inventing, but her gadgets are a fright
Zoom-Zoom tries to fly but he never gets too far
And Specks has got another plan to raid the cookie jar

Pocket Dragons! They surely will amuse
They'll stand up to a knight and barely see above his shoes
They'll build a new contraption you would never think to use
Oh-no! Look out! Kazootles! It must've blown a fuse!

There's always an adventure waiting to be found
But they don't always see it coming 'cause they're so close to the ground
Still they'll rise to the occasion, headed straight for victory
And they won't stop for anything unless they pass a bakery

Pocket Dragons! Get ready, here they come
So many ways to save the day they can't decide which one
Though their magic doesn't always work it's always just as fun
Pocket Dragon Adventures!
(Pocket Dragons! Pocket Dragons! Pocket Dragons!)
