Pocket Dragon Adventures (Spanish:Pocket Dragons) is ananimated TV series produced by the Spanish animation studio D'Ocon Films Productions, in co-production withTelevisión Española,Bohbot Entertainment, andDIC Entertainment. The series is based on the Pocket Dragon characters created by artist Real Musgrave, best known for thePocket Dragons figurines also based on his work.^[1]

The series centers on the Pocket Dragons (a group of very small dragons) who live with a kindly old wizard, and their many adventures.^[2] The show premiered in the United States on theBohbot Kids Networksyndicated programming strand in early 1998.

The series itself was created by Craig Miller and Marv Wolfman, who also produced and story edited the series. Together or separately, they wrote over 40% of the total number of episodes.Pocket Dragon Adventures was also the first animated series signed to a labor contract with theWriters Guild of America.^[3]

The setting is shown to be set in theMedieval era, with other elements thrown in; often bizarre ones (e.g., yellow-paintedtaxicabs pulled byrhinoceroses). Most episodes of the series include standard Medieval fare, such as armored knights, and somescience fiction elements, such asflying saucers.

• Filbert (voiced byIan James Corlett) – The largest and oldest of the six Pocket Dragons, who wears a redbandanna around his neck, and assumes the role of leader, even though he's seldom in control of the others.
• Zoom-Zoom (voiced byJason Gray-Stanford) – The fastest runner of the group, who wears an old-styleaviator's helmet and wishes that he could fly, despite the Pocket Dragons' inability to fly.
• Specs (voiced bySamuel Vincent) – The bookworm of the group, who wears a pair of human-sized glasses balanced on his nose. He has a crush on the Princess.
• Scribbles (voiced byKathleen Barr) – One of the two female dragons; a somewhat scatterbrained inventor whose creations tend to cause more problems than they solve. She and Specs disagree as to which of them is smarter. She wears a specialquiver in which she carries a pencil. Scribbles often fills in the leadership position when Filbert is incapacitated.
• Binky (voiced byTabitha St. Germain) – The other female dragon, who is the smallest and youngest of the six dragons. In one episode, "Attack of the 50 Foot Binky", she wanted to be as tall as Filbert, so she used a growth potion and because she didn't put a limitation on it, she gradually grew bigger until the others found the antidote. Despite her childlike qualities, she sometimes surprises the others with her competence and clear-headedness. She is the only one of the group who usually does not wear anything.
• Cuddles (voiced byVenus Terzo in Season 1 andTerry Klassen in Season 2) – A drowsy dragon who wears bedroom slippers and carries a pillow, and is usually shown sleeping. Sometimes when he sleeps, he"sleep-plays" that he's a daring adventurer named Sir Cuddles; he snaps out of this and wakes up whenever someone says "Cushladoo".

• Wizard (voiced byChristopher Gaze) – A kindly, avuncular wizard who watches over the Dragons and owns the castle in which the dragons live. He tries to keep them from getting into too much trouble. An accomplished magician, he has a vast library and a laboratory in the castle.
• Library Cat – A winged cat who is the wizard's familiar and a helpful companion to the Pocket Dragons. The cat also wears spectacles.
• Theobearus – A living teddy bear, who occasionally aids the pocket dragons.
• Sparkles (voiced byRobert O. Smith) – A full-sized dragon who is not very bright. He is able to float through the air by inflating himself like a balloon.
• Princess Betty Bye Belle (voiced bySaffron Henderson) – The princess who runs the town library; when the former librarian retired, the Princess offered to let him live in the castle while she took over the library, because of her love of literature. She seems to be aware of Specs' feelings toward her, although she sees him more as a friend.
• Shmahz – A short wizard who hates the Dragons for disrupting his evil schemes and often tries to get revenge on them.
• Sir Nigel (voiced byGarry Chalk) – A full-sized dragon who is a friend of the Wizard and the Pocket Dragons. He is a figure of culture and learning.
• Trafalgar – A villainous full-sized dragon, who takes tips on how to be evil from his guidebook.
• The Pie-Rats – A trio of rodent thieves named Cuda, Wuda, and Shuda who specialise in stealing pastries.
• Gnorman the Gnome (voiced byBrian Drummond) – A bumbling, sometimes villainous, sometimes helpful character. The "G"'s in his name are not silent (it is pronounced "G-norman the G-nome"). His brother is called Gnasty and his sister is called Gnoxious.
• Chumley – Sir Nigel's bumbling artistic brother, he speaks with aWelsh accent and is based on aWelsh Dragon.

Development of the series started after Kaaren Lee Brown, Bohbot Entertainment's general manager, went to a party and oversaw a set ofPocket Dragon figures - finding out that Craig Miller and franchise creator Real Musgrave were negotiating to adapt the figures into an animated TV series. In October 1995, Bohbot bought the television rights from Miller and Musgrave and signed D'Ocon Films Productions as a European co-producer in April 1996.^[4]

The series was officially announced in July 1996^[5] and was pre-sold atMIPCOM that year in some territories. In February 1997, D'Ocon was confirmed to handle a majority of the series' production, as well as holding rights in Spain and Portugal, while Bohbot would control all other territories.^[6] In December, the series was confirmed to be the first to be supplied under a new deal with the WGA.^[7]

Each half-hour episode contained two 11-minute segments. The episodes contained some educational elements, but were mostly written for entertainment. The plots usually involved the Pocket Dragons getting into some kind of mess, either due to their own actions or those of others, and going through wild and crazy situations while trying to set things right.

Some of the episodes' plots and titles are parodies of films or TV series, such as the episodes "Binky, Warrior Princess", and "Attack of the 50 Foot Binky".

104 eleven-minute episodes were produced. They aired as 52 half-hour episodes in the United States, with some countries airing them as 15-minute programs (in the United Kingdom, for example, the series ran seven days a week on BBC1^[8] and BBC2 for six years as part of its children's programming strandCBBC).^{[citation needed]}

Pocket Dragon Adventures has been released on DVD in the United States and around the world (including the United Kingdom, France and other European countries) but availability is limited. DVDs contain selected episodes only. The entire series is currently available on the free streaming platformsTubi,Pluto TV, andPeacock. In the United Kingdom, the show currently airs in repeats on London Live as part of Bounce!.
