Jane and the Dragon


Jane and the Dragon is one of our favorite Saturday morning cartoons. Jane is a lovely role model for little girls. Sugar and some serious-bad-guy-kicking spice. I love that Jane can stand on her own and beat any male knight, but is still soft and caring. I can't wait until they're old enough to read the actual book. Here Knight Sicily proves that busting bad guys doesn't belong to boys. You can wear a dress and floral boots and still be major tough stuff. (And props to Analiese for your very dramatic hand-over-forehead bad guy fall.)




and the victorious knight strolls away, pony tail only slightly off center.



*note: I feel I should say this is as violent as our imaginative play gets. Knights, Dragons, and Princesses are stories we play out. We aren't the gun supporting type.
