Cartoon Network EMEA has announced a long form series of The Heroic Quest of the Valiant Prince Ivandoe whose critically acclaimed original 10 shorts have proved to be a high-quality 2D European series for Cartoon Network. The series is being developed and co-written with executive producer Daniel Lennard, who also oversaw development on Gumball and Cartoon Network Studios’ Apple & Onion.
The Heroic Quest of the Valiant Prince Ivandoe tells the tale of Ivandoe, a delusional young prince who has embarked on an epically silly quest to Eagle Mountain, in search of the legendary Golden Feather. Accompanied by his squire and best friend, Bert, he travels through the Five Kingdoms, encountering royal rivals, magical fairy tale creatures and a bunch of assorted weirdos along the way!
Created by Danish animators Christian Bøving-Andersen and Eva Lee Wallberg, who began their animation careers on Cartoon Network’s EMEA-produced series The Amazing World of Gumball, the comedy series of 10 three-minute shorts now has an order of 20 x 11′ episodes.
Launched in 2017 as part of a unique interactive web game, The Heroic Quest of the Valiant Prince Ivandoe has enjoyed glory among viewers and critics alike. It picked up four trophies at the 2018 Emile European Animation Awards and has received nominations for other prestigious awards and festivals, including BAFTA and Annecy Animation Festival.
