9:30am Dragon
"Dragon" is based on the books by best-selling children's author Dav Pilkey (author of the popular "Captain Underpants" series). "Dragon" is a stop-motion series for preschoolers about a kindhearted blue dragon named Dragon. Dragon is friendly and helpful, but tends to see things from a much different perspective than most of us--and that's when the fun begins. 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. Voice-over narration underscores the educational purpose of the story by asking questions and reinforcing the problem-solving strategies that Dragon incorporates as he playfully skips through his day. |

10:00am My Friend Rabbit
"My Friend Rabbit” is a charming and whimsical animated series based on the Caldecott Gold Medal winning book of the same name by Eric Rohmann. This world-premiere series introduces young viewers to the world of Rabbit and Mouse, best friends through thick and thin, and their colorful friends from across the animal kingdom. As Mouse says, his friend Rabbit means well but somehow he just can't avoid getting into sticky situations. This series follows this duo on adventures that might include a topsy-turvy game of Follow the Leader with geese friends, the Gibble Girls, or a rainbow chase to see where they might end up. Along the way, Rabbit and Mouse join friends like Hazel the squirrel, Jasper the wise alligator, Thunder the hard-charging rhino, and others, on unique journeys that call for ingenuity, creativity and, most of all, friendship. |

“Jane and the Dragon” is an animated comedy-adventure series, co-produced by Nelvana and developed by the leading design team from Weta Workshop ("Lord of the Rings," "King Kong"), which follows the comedic exploits of a 13-year-old girl in medieval times.

As an only child, Jane was raised to be a lady-in-waiting, but through her determination and a stroke of luck, she ends up being trained as a knight in the King's Guard instead. Accompanied by her best friend, a giant green 300-year-old dragon who lives in her backyard, Jane experiences a series of adventures that test her character and skills as a young knight in a castle full of friends and foes. Entrenched in each episode are social-emotional messages that hinge on the universal themes of courage, kindness, honesty and friendship. |
