* ActionHoggingOpening: In a smooth animated opening, a silhouette trying to lever a large wheel succeeds. This flies over the silhouette of a large cat and down a mountain, where it picks up a dragon who is eating flowers. The dragon rides along on the wheel, which somehow produces a seat and turns into a wagon as the dragon goes through several different climate zones and into a tunnel. He goes down a waterfall and the wagon turns into the TitleCard.

*AsYouKnow: Tom and Linda discuss topics that frankly most adults would not find an interesting topic without children around, like several minutes of discussing why a ceramic lion is not alive and will never grow in episode one.
*InevitableWaterfall: The dragon goes over one at the end of the opening credits.
*LoudGulp: The dragon utters one in his predicament.
*MundaneUtility: The dragon uses his fire breath to light a candle.
*NoFourthWall: At times, the viewer is addressed directly.
