The series is targeted at the six to 11 year-old audience. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This partnership promises to be a great experience for Nelvana&#8217;s CGI studio,&#8221; says Scott Dyer, executive vice-president of production and development at the Corus Entertainment-owned Nelvana. &#8220;We&#8217;re looking forward to working with the talented Weta team.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Weta Workshop founder Richard Taylor says their first venture into children&#8217;s television animation will blend classic animation design and modern computerized motion-capture technology.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have enjoyed a wonderful opportunity to create a fantastical world around the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien,&#8221; Taylor says. &#8220;It is therefore a great treat to be able to create our own world for Jane and her Dragon.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Thanks,<\/p>\n<p><b>Hobbitangel<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greetings!
