  AnimeOnDVD.com >> Disc Reviews >> Taro: The Dragon Boy
He was sent down the river to where she picked him up and she tells that his mother then moved on to a lake many mountains away to hopefully await the arrival of her son.
She left him with the mark of dragon claws on him and gave him her eye to give him sustenance during his trip downstream.
Taro's learning of this, coinciding with his helping of a young girl from the nearby mountain where a red devil was accosting her, gives him the idea that he needs to travel to where this lake is so he can find his mother.

The dragon could not be killed, either, for he was covered with four coats of horny scales, and the arrows would not penetrate these.
Now this perplexed and enraged the old dragon, for he could not find the hiding place of the boy; but he said that he would destroy the mother if she did not reveal the child's hiding place.
At the boy's request his uncle (who was the only man then living) made a little bow and some arrows for him, and the two went hunting the next day.

Dragons have no control as to the mythologies of the common man." But it saw that the boy was too tired for that concept.
In the faint light, the boy sat in awe of the shimmering gold-greens with hints of blue that were the dragon's colour.
Light blurred images for dragons, but here, in the flness of the night, she could see the whiteness of his skin, the darkness of his hair which he had cut short, the greenness of his eyes which were a good match for the green of her scales.

Boy, you are nice and fat, so when I have eaten this venison I shall eat you.’ The boy said, ‘No, you shall not eat me, and you shall not eat that meat.’ So he walked over to where the dragon sat and took the meat back to his own seat.
The dragon said, ‘I like your courage, but you are foolish; what do you think you could do?’ ‘Well,’ said the boy, ‘I can do enough to protect myself, as you may find out.’ Then the dragon took the meat again, and then the boy retook it.

Dragon got right into the face of a fan in the front row on his way to the ring, which was a running theme throughout the DVDs.
Dragon gave a nice looking Curb Stomp to Quicksilver in the corner, and Quicksilver’s face hitting the turnbuckle adds a lot to what was already a cool looking move.
Dragon’s offense combines the best of the stiff strikers and high flyers and his signature movies (including Curb Stomp, Pyscho Driver and Violence Party) are among the best in indie wrestling today.

 DVD Talk > Reviews > Taro, the Dragon Boy
Taro, the Dragon Boy is for the most part exquisitely made, with beautifully designed backgrounds, expressive characters, and thoughtful mise-en-scene, all of which compensate for the limited (budget-driven) animation, which lacks the relative fluidity of Hollywood-produced feature film animation.
(As a dragon, Taro's mother sacrifices her sight to feed her infant son.) Other references would be instantly recognizable to Japanese children but lost on most American audiences, such as the appearance of the Akaoni, the Red Demon of Thunder and Lightning that, among other things, is a fixture on TV weather reports.
Taro, the Dragon Boy is presented in a handsome 16:9 enhanced transfer that retains the crucial original framing, is bright and sharp and outside of a few age-related flaws near-perfect.

It is sort of unfair since he got that oppurtunity and perhaps Dragon would have done the same had he won against B-Boy, but that's simply the way it was.
Dragon and B-Boy's BOTB performances were equal for the most part.
Dragon and B-Boy (or even Dragon and Rising Son) could have done exactly what the Brits did, and kept up with them if they wanted to, but they wanted to go a different route, and I totally respect that now, and am glad they did.

The boy felt his hands shake harder; if that was true, if he was of noble blood, he would have the training that went with that life-style...
The boy felt his hands dropping, his tired body wanting to comply; the threat of such a thing to his parents was terrifying.
So as of late, the boy had stayed in his room, sneaking among the shadows to the kitchen if he was starved, avoiding the pampered slaves waiting their turn for the Prince's favor.

After the second one, Dragon rolled out of the ring but B-Boy caught him on the apron and proceeded to back drop him over the ropes back into the ring for the decisive three count at 15:11.
At one point, B-Boy suplexed Dragon into the turnbuckles in a sick looking bump, but they rushed themselves to the next spot.
I think Dragon was too wiped out himself to go for the pin, thus allowing B-Boy to roll out of the ring.

When he was less than twenty years old, Gianlorenzo Bernini carved this marble boy with a dragon for the palace of Maffeo Barberini, later Pope Urban VIII.
Even at this young age, Bernini was such a skilled marble sculptor that he could differentiate the textures of pudgy flesh, soft hair, waves of water, and dragon scales.
A hole in the dragon’s mouth shows that the sculpture was used as a fountain.

 Taro the Dragon Boy | Anime Reviews | SCI FI Weekly
Taro Tatsunoko, the child who gives the film Taro the Dragon Boy its name, is well known in his small village for his laziness and greed.
Impressed by Taro's spirit, he gives the boy a magic potion that confers the strength of a hundred men—but only when Taro is helping others.
Taro the Dragon Boy is based on a traditional Japanese legend, and while it does have a strong Japanese flavor, it's still similar to Western fairy tales in many respects—it's an episodic adventure about magic powers, talking animals, evil monsters, a quest for self and a coming of age.
