In kicking off the new year, YTV has a host of special events in January, highlighted by the debut of Weta Digitals first 3D TV series, JANE AND THE DRAGON.
Premiering on Sunday, Jan. 8 at 11:00 am, JANE AND THE DRAGON is the coming-of-age story of 12-year-old Jane, a headstrong knight-in-training who, unlike most girls of her time has a suit of armor in her closet, a sword in her belt and an unforgettable and unpredictably endearing 300-year-old dragon by her side. JANE AND THE DRAGON airs Sundays at 11:00 am, repeating throughout the week on Thursdays at 8:30 am and 12:30 pm, and Saturdays at 6:00 pm.
