Druuna is an erotic science fiction and fantasy comic series featuring a voluptuous heroine of the same name and created by Italian cartoonist Paolo Eleuteri Serpieri. All in all, great show, great message, amazing characters and enjoyable episodes. Humor and continuity is gold! Cast superb! Not so favorite: NO TOYS? my 4 year old already added all the characters to her Santa List!! Also, When they are flying to the Roost, it looks static, would love to have seen that change up a bit. Favorite moments: how the team works together, what trouble they get in or out of, and the valuable lessons are a bonus. My littles would love to see some live footage or even attend a meet and great with the cast. I don't understand why the talent isn't highlighted much as I think we would genuinely enjoy hearing their experience on what seemed to have been a lengthy production. I am also quite impressed with the young voice cast. It's time we all respect the fact that the younger generation doesn't need to be desensitized by violence and foul language to enjoy GOOD entertainment. This series is BASED on the original books, something a true fan can appreciate. From the animation, to the clever and humorous dialogue, there is something for everyone. This is FOR little kids, but enjoyable for the adults as well. The fact that Dreamworks themselves created this with Emmy award winning producers, who have worked on HTTYD, and yet "fans" of the franchise are complaining. I have been appalled at the rude comments all over the internet regarding this show. The dragon scales and attention to detail of each different dragon is quite beautiful and yet simple for a little one to grasp. Your detail to the characters, with the expressions to the adorable freckles is fantastic. First and foremost, thank you for making a series the little ones can relate to and the parents don't have to worry about what they are watching. I'm usually an observer, but felt compelled to write a review based on our experience and the comments I have read since this was announced. Very impressed by the spinoff to HTTYD series.
