Il Drago

The beautiful princess waits anxiously for her brave prince to return, and when she sees his boat appear in the distance, she runs out to embrace him. During the celebration on the island, the princess dances happily, unaware that she has attracted the attention of the evil black dragon, who wants to kidnap her and add her to his collection of young girls. In the dragon's palace, the faithful octopus oversees the bustling preparations for his master's birthday party. The young princess is captured and removed temporarily to a desert island, where she cries in desperation, remembering the night on which the prince told her he loved her with all his heart. The handsome prince sets out to look for his princess, but when the going gets difficult, he seems to give up. The princess's father encourages the prince to continue his quest, and advises him to forge a weapon with which to confront and defeat the dragon. The prince makes himself a formidable sword, and then sets out to do battle.

This series is largely composed of segmented episodes hosted by a bear, and each of these features one or more creatures. One can learn about a creature's life and habits during a question-and-answer session at the end of each episode. This brief educational section covers the featured topic and answers typical questions, such as "Where does an animal live?", "What does it eat?", "What are its enemies?" and "How is its relationship with human beings?"

Locations featured vary from sea, land, and sky... and the creatures in question include many kinds of fish, mammals, insects and birds. On occasion, a featured animal is presented with its own name, while at other times, creatures are presented according to only their species.

Towards the end of the series, multi-segmented stories are presented with human characters in supporting roles. These episodes allow the host to introduce fantastic, imaginary animals, such as the winged horse and the dragon, and also to share information about their prominent roles in mythology. The moral of the series is that because certain animals were looked upon as gods and immortalized in the mythologies of ancient history, we should, therefore, learn to pay better attention to the animal kingdom of today, so as to improve our understanding of the world in which we dwell.
