## Synopsis

Dragon Booster (2004-2006) is a Canadian-American three dimensional animated fantasy series created for family audiences and rated TV-Y7, with its production tied to CBC Television. Its protagonist, a stable boy named Artha Penn, is drawn into the role of a Dragon Booster, a hero charged with stopping an impending war between humans and dragons. Voice actor Kathleen Barr leads the principal cast as Lance Patrick Penn, with Scott McNeil also playing a major role as Cain, and a large ensemble of voice performers filling out the supporting roles. Across three seasons and thirty nine half hour episodes, the series follows a serialized quest in which each episode moves the larger conflict forward through encounters with dragons, rival factions and the constant pressure of an approaching clash. The emotional core is a young hero learning responsibility while trying to bridge a deep divide between two peoples who distrust each other. The mood is earnest, adventurous and hopeful, with a bright computer animated look that suits younger viewers. Fans of Dragons: Riders of Berk and Avatar: The Last Airbender will find a similar blend of dragon lore, chosen hero destiny and gentle moral heart.
