The community lives in a circle of houses on a little island. Vanessa the Dragon is the lynchpin in the neighbourhood, always forging connections between her neighbours, and encouraging them to help each other out. Each episode starts with the anticipation of finding out which house we're going to stop at today.

It is based on everyday experiences people have.




* NoAntagonist: There's no villain, the main conflict is trying to get along.

\n* AmbiguouslyHuman: The wizard family look human enough, but the fact they seem very adept with magic, are chalk-skinned (but do not have albinism) and seem not to age, can make some question what they really are. They seem human enough in behavior terms though.
* LostAesop: The episode "Green Island" was about environmentalism, with Alba the owl, Tufty the owl's policewoman mother, having a crisis of conscience over climate change and she went around the island trying to fix things. The aesop was supposed to be about how anyone can make a difference, however small, but by the end of the episode they weren't sure what the moral was supposed to be. "Installing a wind turbine solves some problems" was one suggestion viewers read into it, but that's probably not a moral.

* StatusQuoIsGod: [[EnforcedTrope Enforced]]. Things have to return to normal after each episode so a conflict can occur and characters can learn a lesson. Also, the target audience don't learn lessons immediately so they cannot do anything that dramatically changes the series' status quo.
