The Bravest Knight



The Bravest Knight is an animated series based on the childrens' picture book The Bravest Knight Who Ever Lived. It premiered on Hulu on June 21, 2019.

Plot
Sir Cedric shares the story of how he transformed from a pumpkin farmer into a full-fledged knight with his adopted 10-year-old daughter, Nia, who is training to become a brave knight herself.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) The animation is beautiful and the character designs are cute.
 * 2) It stays faithful to the original book.
 * 3) Catchy theme song.
 * 4) It has an interesting story arc.
 * 5) The show is very LGBTQ+ positive, as it depicts a gay couple with their adopted daughter very well.
 * 6) Handles diversity and moral lessons well.
 * 7) All-star cast including Bobby Moynihan, Wanda Sykes, RuPaul and more.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Sometimes it can be boring.
 * 2) It can also get rather preachy from time to time, as shown in one episode where Lucy, a male pixie, says that names belongs to people, not genders when asked about his traditionally feminine name. While what he said was true, it felt shoehorned in.
