On The Air: Dreamworks' Dragons (2012)

The success of 2010's "How To Train Your Dragon" led Dreamworks Animation to develop a weekly animated series that served as a bridge between "Dragon" and its sequel, which was released in 2014.

Dreamworks' Dragons has gone by a number of subtitles in the course of its run (2012-present), starting with Riders of Berk. The lush computer animation makes it stand out in the overcrowded cable cartoon landscape.

Originally, Dragons aired on Cartoon Network, which relinquished the rights to the series when Dreamworks forged a deal with Netflix. The streaming service took over the series in 2015. Reruns currently air on Universal Kids (check your listings).

Here's a sample clip:



I personally think CN gave up on the show due to its obsessive-compulsive need to spam Teen Titans Go! into the ground. What do you guys think?

Rating: A.
