Dragons & Spirits is a small crew based in Southern England. It consists of two allied groups, the Dragons and the Spirits who support each other and sometimes collaborate. As of January 2010, there are just four Dragons and six Spirits but there are also several "Official Dragon Friends", including cyber-friends, who are also Newgrounds animators, from the USA. In addition to creating content for Newgrounds, the members of the crew often meet in person, and participate in charity work, play sports and games, and sing and dance together. Two crew members are also published authors. The various members of the Crew have eighteen Flash Submissions on Newgrounds. Several of these flashes are in themed collections, including the 2006 Halloween and Christmas Collections.


History of the Crew

The Dragons & Spirits already existed as two gangs of friends in London, when an associate of the Dragons, MEKoftheMEKKingdom, introduced the D&S to Flash and Newgrounds in 2006. They immediately set about learning flash. Codester, AKA Tiger Spirit, was the first to get through judgement, followed by various Official Dragon solos and collaborations. The Spirits have not submitted for some time, but IceDragon64 continues to collaborate with various authors on NG, with support from fellow Dragons & Spirits and has been the main voice of the D&S on Newgrounds for years.

The Movie "Ibby's Hair Restorer"

Starting from an experimental flash of a few seconds made by Earthdragon77, the Dragons set out to get the first official Crew submission through judgement. Ibby's Hair Restorer was blammed and improved three times before getting through judgement in 2006. IHR is the Dragons' iconic movie- scenes, art and images appear in various subsequent projects and talk of the sequel and the Final Version continues.


Dragon & Spirit Style

The submission style of the Dragons & Spirits owes nothing to the Clock Crew unlike most other crews on NG. The two allies each have an official image at the beginning and use DS as a preface to their titles. As yet none of their movies include characters based on their crew in the same way as DD, LL etc. The Dragons, the main submittors on NG, have rules about basic quality for Dragon submissions and the DS are not involved in trolling, or spam submissions. This, together with their officially friendly approach, ensures that the DS, have little conflict on NG. The Dragons take their reviews seriously and work on improvements over time. This has resulted in various movies being re-submitted after major improvement.

The Movies

The movies are a mostly quizzes with a couple of comedy cartoons, a documentary and an art tutorial. As of Jan 2010, the crew has yet to recieve a trophy and their top score for an official DS submission is 3.46
