As I was watching Netflix with my brother one night, I came across a show that I used to love when I was a kid: Dragon Tales. It used to be one of my favorite shows and I remember watching it constantly. My brother did not want to watch it, of course. You can imagine my surprise when I came home for fall break and saw my brother laughing and singing along with Max and Emmy. I was so excited that he finally followed in my footsteps and loved the show as much as I did. For my entire fall break, we watched Dragon Tales endlessly. While watching this show a few issues that I never noticed before arose.

1. Did Max and Emmy's parents not question why there were dragons on their children's wall when they moved in?

Maybe this does not bother you, but I would at least have some questions. Dragons are not a common interest between girls and I do not remember it being a common interest for boys either.

2. Does Max's and Emmy's parents not wonder where they go all the time? Do they not wonder why they spend so much time in their room, quietly I might add.

I do not know if you guys have ever been around young children, but they are never to be trusted alone for long periods of time. If a child is silent for more than a couple of minutes, they are more than likely up to no good. You would think their parents checked in on them more often.

3. Why do Max and Emmy leave Dragon Land at odd times?

I mean one moment they are bonding with the dragons and the next? "I wish to use this rhyme to go back home until next time." They just disappear without a proper goodbye. I find that a little rude especially since Ord shares his Dragon Berry Muffins with Max and Cassie always tows Emmy around.

4. Max is 4 years old.

He is a pretty intelligent four year old. His speech is fantastic and he goes to Dragon Land all by himself without Emmy. That's impressive, but terrifying.

5. Max and Emmy hardly ever change clothes, if they even change at all.

As a child, this would not bother me too much. As a young adult, however, why could they not have changed clothes? I mean really, everyday they wear the same outfit. That is a little too predictable.

Even though there are a few issues that bug me about Dragon Tales, it is still a great show altogether. Max and Emmy had the best childhood any kid could hope for and with their intelligence I am more than confident that they would have grown up to be prosperous adults.
