The Heroic Quest of the Valiant Prince Ivandoe Gets Long-Form Series

Cartoon Network EMEA has greenlit a long-form series of The Heroic Quest of the Valiant Prince Ivandoe following the success of the critically-acclaimed shorts.

Created by Danish animators Christian Bøving-Andersen and Eva Lee Wallberg, the 10×3-minute comedy series now has an order of 20×11-minute episodes. It is being developed and co-written with executive producer Daniel Lennard, and will be produced in partnership with Copenhagen-based Sun Creature Studio.

The Heroic Quest of the Valiant Prince Ivandoe tells the tale of Ivandoe, a delusional young prince who has embarked on a silly quest to Eagle Mountain in search of the legendary Golden Feather. Accompanied by his squire and best friend Bert, they travel through the Five Kingdoms, encountering royal rivals, magical fairy tale creatures and a bunch of assorted weirdos.

Christian Bøving-Andersen and Eva Lee Wallberg said: “It has been such an exciting journey creating The Heroic Quest of the Valiant Prince Ivandoe and seeing how well people have responded to the show. We are now very happy to continue Ivandoe’s quests in a longer format, with even more silly characters and adventures, and we are very grateful to our magnificent team and to Cartoon Network for making this happen!”

Daniel Lennard added: “It’s been great fun working on this spectacularly silly show, bringing a cast of flawed but loveable characters to life. As with Gumball, we’ve created a self-contained world for kids—of all ages—to enjoy. It somehow makes complete sense, whilst at the same time making absolutely no sense whatsoever.”
