The story follows Embers the Dragon on a typical day where everything seems to go wrong, starting with being awakened by his mom, to bumping into his friend on the way to school and making him drop his lunch, to hurting the feelings of a bee. Fortunately, his teacher, Mrs. Owl sees how his day is going and intervenes, helping him figure out what's up.
The animation is quite colorful and fun. All of the characters are very distinctive, and well executed. Embers is cute as can be. Mrs. Owl, the teacher, appears as insightful and kind. Embers' character development, even in this 6 minute clip is quite impressive. I love that the story is focused on identifying Embers' issues and finding ways to resolve them in a short period of time. I would love to see the rest of this series as it develops. The message is about recognizing your feelings and learning how to deal with them.
I give Embers the Dragon: Hurry Up Embers! 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 3 to 6, plus adults. Reviewed by Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
