Review of "The
Bravest Knight"

This fantasy is a kids' series about a royal family. The dad, Sir
Cedric, is a knight who used to be a pumpkin farmer and had many adventures. Now
he's teaching his daughter, Nia, how to be a knight. He regales her with
his past adventures, which are educational as well as fun. Nia has another
dad, Prince Andrew. They all live in a castle, along with Cedric's
longtime friend, a troll.
T.R. Knight ("Grey's Anatomy") does the voice of
Sir Cedric. The actors do a fine job in
voicing their roles. The stories would
probably be enjoyable for any children. I
can't imagine parents objecting to the empowering
stories. They're not violent nor deal with any
questionable issues.
The theme song is cool, too, and there's a lot of
humor in the series. The characters make a lot
of jokes or do funny/silly things. However, it's not
as frenetic as some kids' shows that I've seen.
It doesn't knock you over the head with loud voices
or songs. It's only 12 minutes per episode, though,
so it's great for the kiddies who have short
attention spans. Check it out if you have kids!

Unique and Diverse Series The Bravest
Knight To Air on Hulu June 21

Santa Monica, CA (May 23, 2019) – Today, Hulu
announces the premiere of brand-new Hulu Original animated
kids series, The Bravest
Knight. Based on wildly popular
children’s book by Daniel Errico “The
Bravest Knight Who Ever
Lived,” the story chronicles a young pumpkin
farmer’s adventure as he attempts to become the
bravest knight
who ever lived. Hulu has ordered 13 episodes of The
Bravest Knight
from Big Bad Boo Studios. The first five episodes
will premiere on Hulu June 21, followed by additional
episodes later this year.
The new series is breaking boundaries, featuring a household
with two dads (Sir Cedric and Prince Andrew), making it one
of the first children’s television series with an openly gay
main character. Following the inspiring and perseverant
former pumpkin farmer, Sir Cedric, now grown and married to
the prince of his dreams, The Bravest
Knight recounts personal tales
of his journey. Sir Cedric shares his story with his adopted
10-year-old daughter Nia, on how he transformed from
day-time farmer to full-fledged knight.
Nia, who is training to become a brave
knight herself, learns important values such as
honor, justice and compassion; proving that knighthood is
much more than slaying dragons.
The show boasts a star-studded cast including T.R.
Knight as “Sir Cedric,” Bobby
Moynihan as young Cedric’s troll sidekick “Grunt,” Storm
Reid as Not-Yet-Knight “Nia,” and
will also feature the voice talents of RuPaul, Christine
Baranski, Wanda Sykes, Wilson Cruz, Teri Polo, Steven Weber,
Donna Murphy, AJ McLean, Dot-Marie Jones, Maz Jobrani,
Chance Hurstfield and more. The
Bravest Knight’s opening
theme song was written and performed by Grammy-nominated
musician, songwriter and activist Justin Tranter.
The Bravest Knight continues
Hulu’s commitment to connecting with kids and families
through bold approaches in storytelling, and continues to be
a supporter of LGBTQ content and creators. The
Bravest Knight joins
Hulu’s impressive kids original content offering, including Holly
Hobbie, Find Me In Paris and Doozers along-side
its acquired library of premium kids and family content.
