The sheep constantly tries to sneak up on them or make noise to blow their cover, so it is funny how the kids always have a \u201cnot again\u201d moment but are still able to avoid the sheep. I also love how each character is unique, but they come together and have fun with each other like they are one of a kind. My favorite character is Alex Gonzalez because of her combination of personality traits.\u00a0 She is really into electronics and anything that has to do with cameras or using advanced technology, and yet she also is willing to help out others and make friends. Alex will even break some rules, though she is very introverted and shy\u00a0person at first, which seems to make her an unlikely rule-breaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-medium is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/dragons.9realms.g.jpg?resize=225%2C124&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8401\" width=\"225\" height=\"124\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/dragons.9realms.g.jpg?resize=300%2C165&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/dragons.9realms.g.jpg?resize=1024%2C562&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/dragons.9realms.g.jpg?resize=768%2C421&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/dragons.9realms.g.jpg?w=1500&amp;ssl=1 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The message of&nbsp;<em>Dragons: The Nine Realms<\/em>&nbsp;is to be yourself, take time to appreciate who you are and stand up for what you believe in. Coming together is a key theme: all the characters have different personalities and beliefs in this series, but they all come together in The Dragon Club and protect the dragons from their parents who may harm them with their experiments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I rate&nbsp;<em>Dragons: The Nine Realms<\/em>&nbsp;4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 10. You can find&nbsp;<em>Dragons: The Nine Realms<\/em>&nbsp;streaming on Hulu and Peacock starting December 23, 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Set 1,300 years after the events of How To Train Your Dragon, dragons are now just a legend to the modern world.
