American Dragon: Jake Long

Jake Long è un tredicenne sino-americano che vive a New York con la sua famiglia. Come i suoi coetanei, Jake ama andare in skateboard, giocare ai videogiochi e uscire con gli amici. Però, il ragazzo nasconde un segreto: è infatti il primo dragone (tra l'altro long, in cinese, significa proprio "dragone") nato su suolo americano. Jake viene segretamente addestrato dal nonno (di nome Lao Shi), anche lui un potente dragone. Il compito di Jake è, precisamente, proteggere le creature magiche e mistiche che vivono a New York e negli USA, dai Gargoyle dell'Empire State Building fino ai Troll delle fogne, poiché tutti questi son braccati continuamente da una setta chiamata "I Cacciatori", il cui fine è sterminare ogni creatura magica.
