Set in Manhattan, this animated series tells the story of thirteen-year-old Jake Long who must balance ordinary adolescent transformation with the amazing power and ability to change into the form of a dragon. When he eventually unlocks his full potential and turns into the American Dragon, he will overcome obstacles to protect the magical creatures living in the city, but as his ordinary self, Jake Long can't conquer his crush on pretty blond schoolmate Rose who, unbeknownst to Jake, has an amazing dark secret of her own: she's a natural dragon slayer named Huntsgirl! Jake navigates the city with fellow skateboarders Trixie and Spud, and when he gets home, it's to an extended family: a businessman dad originally from the Midwest who doesn't know he's married into a family of dragons, Jake's Chinese mom, his grandfather (who recently immigrated to train his grandson in the ways of the ancient dragon), younger seven-year-old sister Haley (a nascent dragon) and Grandpa's gruff sidekick, a magical Shar-Pei named Fu Dog.
In this episode . . . When an ancient magical chalice containing a powerful evil Jinn is being used as a trophy at his school's talent show, Jake must compete with Fu Dog as his ventriloquist puppet to get it back.
The evil genie bearhugs the American Dragon towards the end of the episode, just after 3 minutes in the video link. |
