There are cute animals with vibrant personalities-chief among them Ezran’s sassy, color-changing bulldog toad Bait-and humor that transcends its medieval fantasy setting (there’s a whole discussion about the concept of “hangry” in one episode). While they’re off on their quest, the king’s advisor, Lord Viren, tries to snatch up the throne while manipulating his children to do his bidding (he’s essentially a cross between Littlefinger and Cersei).īut while The Dragon Prince takes the bones of Thrones, its tone is all Airbender (episodes are even delineated using that show’s book and chapter title cards). But in a climatic moment in episode three, which feels like the end of an introductory movie that leads us into the rest of the season, Callum, Ezran, and Rayla discover a dragon egg, the first in an age, and decide to join forces to carry it across the map in hopes of ending the war between their factions. They succeed, notably not by Rayla’s hand, as she’s tasked with executing Ezran, the true heir. We’re also introduced to Rayla (Paula Burrows), a tough as nails Moonshadow Elf who is part of a team of her kin planning to enter the castle and assassinate the king. We primarily follow young Prince Callum (Jack De Sena, the voice of Airbender’s chief source of comic relief, Sokka) and his even younger brother Ezran (Sasha Rojen), who would inherit the throne of the human kingdom in his father’s place. As we learn through a Fellowship of the Ring-style prologue, this is a world where the egg of the last dragon king might just be able to bring peace to the world, as well as its two divided, warring peoples: humans and Moonshadow Elves from the land of Xadia.
