Trivia / Jane and the Dragon

• Adaptation Sequence: There are books based on episodes of the cartoon series, which in turn is based on the original books.
• Children Voicing Children: Most of the younger characters are voiced by actors/actresses about the same age or slightly older than them.
• Edited for Syndication: The American run on NBC added an And Knowing Is Half the Battle segment called "Dragon Talk" at the end of each episode in order to get the mandated E/I certification.
• Fake Nationality: All of the voice actors are Canadians speaking with English accents, although Adrian Truss, the voice of Dragon, is British-Canadian.
• International Coproduction: Between Nelvana in Canada and Weta in New Zealand.
• Keep Circulating the Tapes: The full series has yet to be released on DVD.
• Only So Many Canadian Actors: Many of the voices will be familiar to Canadian audiences and others who have watched a lot of Toronto-produced cartoons, including such talents as Noah Reid, Juan Chioran, Sunday Muse, and Jill Frappier.
• Word of God:
  • According to author Martin Baynton, Jane is aware of Jester's feelings for her but doesn't want romance to get in the way of her training to be a knight.
  • Baynton is also on record stating that Jane felt that if she did wear a dress, it would be seen as backsliding from her goal to be a knight, especially in the eyes of her mother.
