Dragon Booster is an animated series created by Rob Travalino and Kevin Mowrer for CBC Television that aired from October 23, 2004 to December 16, 2006. The first series produced by Nerd Corps Entertainment, the series is about young Artha Penn, a stable boy. He is chosen by Beaucephalis (or "Beau" for short), the dragon of legend, to be his rider, turning him into the Dragon Booster, a hero to protect the world from the impending Dragon-Human war and unite humans and dragons for all time.

The story takes place in the world of Draconis, where 3,000 years ago, a huge dragon-human war erupted. The golden Dragon of Legend chose a human rider, the Dragon Booster, to bring peace and show that dragons and humans can coexist.

In the present-day, humans have been commanding dragons, the very thing the original Dragon Booster sought to prevent, and another war is looming. However, Connor Penn breeds back into existence one last Gold Dragon of Legend, Beau. Beau chooses a stable boy, Artha Penn, to be the Dragon Booster. Artha seeks to protect the world from the impending Dragon-Human war by defeating villains such as Moordryd Paynn and his father Word.

In March 2004, it was announced that ABC Family (United States), Five and Sky One (United Kingdom) and ABC (Australia) and Spacetoon and MBC 3 (Arab World) acquired broadcast rights to the show in their respective countries.

The end of the final episode of the third season alluded to a planned name change to Dragon Booster: Academy for the next season. However, in an interview with Matt Hill (the voice of Artha Penn) on June 10, 2006, at the Otakuthon convention held in Concordia University, it was made apparent that Dragon Booster failed to pull together a large enough fan base and production has permanently ceased on the series. He stated, "We did not get the following 13 episodes." When asked why the series lost its bid for more episodes, Hill responded, "They were not selling enough action figures".
