Potatoes and Dragons is an French-Canadian animated series, created by Jan Van Rijsselberge (best known for Robotboy among many other credits) and produced by Alphanim and Cinar for Teletoon and France 3. The show takes place in a kingdom, run by the moderately competent King Hugo III, with a dragon living in it. The dragon makes a regular game of torching the king; thus, the king hires knights from all over the world (read: whoever shows up gets the job). The king's daughter Melodine, the jester Riri, and a little kid named Juju all know the dragon is harmless, and defend him from the competent knights.The series premiered in 2004 for a brief run of 78 7-minute shorts. While the show didn't premiere in the US during it's run, it did get some air time there on This TV's Cookie Jar Toons block. The series also used to be on the Canadian streaming service Crave at one point. | |

Only Sane Man: Both played straight and inverted; usually, only King Hugo is close to insane. Other times, it flips between Melodine, Riri and Juju. | |

Bilingual Bonus | |
| Potatoes and Dragons / int_294ed981 | comment |
Bilingual Bonus: Juju's name is (spelling aside) the nursery word for 'toy' in French. Likewise, Riri's name is derived from "ris ris", meaning "laugh laugh". | |

"Freaky Friday" Flip | |
| Potatoes and Dragons / int_36754cc7 | comment |
"Freaky Friday" Flip: Happens in "It Wasn't Me", between King Hugo and the Dragon. Interestingly, whilst the Dragon is in King Hugo, the Dragon retains his ability to breathe fire, leading to King Hugo running around spouting flames. | |

Dragons Prefer Princesses | |
| Potatoes and Dragons / int_8a97b762 | comment |
Dragons Prefer Princesses: The King keeps calling for knights to kill the dragon that lives near the palace, for fear it might kidnap his daughter; unbeknownst to him, the princess has befriended the dragon and is actively thwarting each attempt on its life. | |

Happy Harlequin Hat: Riri wears a two-point version with bells on the tips. It is also a mask that covers his face. (Or his face is the same colour as his hat. It's hard to tell.) | |

Jerkass | |
| Potatoes and Dragons / int_eb8ec7c8 | comment |
Jerkass: One could argue that the dragon and King Hugo are both examples of this, and the whole show revolves around watching the two of them harass each other. King Hugo is a bad-tempered, egotistical royal pain of a king, who often acts like a brat despite his age. In comparison, the dragon's idea of fun is to wander on over to the castle and burn King Hugo and/or his belongings to cinders whenever he feels like it, even when the king is minding his own business — which of course is why the king wants to chase the dragon out of the kingdom. | |
