She-Ra And The Princesses of Power

A Series With Many Detractors, But A Goddamn Great Thing To Watch

This series has been highly criticized and has accumulated as many followers as detractors, but the truth is that they’re focusing on the wrong aspects of the show. Its animation is a mixture of Anime and American Toon, with a unique Art Style very similar to series like Star Vs. The Forces Of Evil and Steven Universe.

Readers might be reluctant to watch this series due to its highly inclusive content, but they should give it a chance. Its narrative is solid, its characters compelling, and the visuals are gorgeous. This spin-off of MOTU is action-packed, and with memorable characters; what else can fans ask for?

Over the Garden Wall

A Short But Incredible Tale Of Adventure

This lovely series is a fantastical adventure bordering surrealism, with an impactful message and absolutely beautiful designs. Sadly, it only has one season, but that is good enough to tell a compelling story such as this.

If readers enjoyed The Dragon Prince’s heartwarming construction of friendship, then they’ll surely enjoy the adventures of Wirt, Beatrice, Quincy, and all the band of merry (and fantastical) creatures they meet on their journey.

The Owl House

An Epic Tale With Snarky Humor And Great Visuals

This series is a must-see for every lover of fantastical creatures, magic, adventure, and heartwarming friendship. With high doses of witty humor that generate more than one spark of joy throughout this adventure of a young witch’s apprentice named Luz.

The series has deep character developments that remind those of The Dragon Prince (Luz and Rayla are quite similar). This, added to a deep and engaging world-building makes the series a jewel among modern animated adventures.

Hilda

A Lovely Adventure Tale

Combining an art style similar to series like Gravity Falls and Bluey, this story is about a young girl named Hilda (hence the title) and her friends. It’s safe for all ages, which is a plus, and it tells a tale of exploration of a fantastical world, where new and memorable events will tie the characters closer than ever.

Its style diverts away from The Dragon Prince, but the construction of the narrative that surrounds the characters has a very similar message: the power of friendship changes the world.

2

Amphibia

A Warm And Colorful Series

This quirky adventure is one of the best examples of the potential of modern animation in the right hands. The producers of this show clearly know what the audience is yearning for when they search for adventure shows: heartfelt moments, great comedic relief, and the right mixture of emotional depth and character growth.

Amphibia might be closer to style to shows like Rick And Morty and Regular Show than to The Dragon Prince, but the construction of its characters and how they evolve while fighting together for a common cause, as well as the dynamic flow of their friendship are really similar to Wonderstorm’s epic tale.

Kipo And The Age Of Wonderbeasts

Action And Adventure Go Hand To Hand

Set in a post-apocalyptic world, this fantastical tale of adventure, exploration, and friendship will melt fans’ hearts with its lovely approach to friendship and trust. It has a lot of the good features of The Dragon Prince since it was heavily inspired by Avatar: The Last Airbender.

But it also has its own identity, with its unique art style, beautiful soundtrack, and captivating world-building. It is one hell of a ride for those who enjoy low-stakes adventure tales, and it has many surprises along the way.
