Redwall (1999) was a godsend. I was a big fan of Brian Jacques growing up. I remember through the forums a film was in development but the whole thing was a hoax. Cruel world we live in. They even had a poster for it.  In the right hands, it could have been the next Narnia or something. |

I voted for Gummi Bears mostly because it's the show I'm mostly familiar with.

I always had a weakness for Xcalibur, which although it appears set in an alternate reality has that 'medieval feel'...

I like D&D, but it seemed every episode thay almost made it back home but Bobby or Uni screwed it up for them by getting caught or something.
I also liked Wildfire and The Biskitts.

I haven't seen most of these, but I've gained interest in watching Redwall at some point.

I always had a weakness for Xcalibur, which although it appears set in an alternate reality has that 'medieval feel'... wow, never heard of this one. King Edwin, ruler of a medieval-like Kingdom is assassinated by his brother and regent, Bragan, who has sold his soul to the devil, Kwodahn. The murder is witnessed by Prince Erwann who carries out the dying King's final orders; to take Xcalibur and hide it in a safe place. After hiding the sword, Kwodahn curses Erwann, turning him to stone. Erwann's feisty teenage daughter, Princess Djana befriends Herik, a young apprentice of the exiled Shogis, a sect of sorcerers, who has been entrusted with the Book of Life, the collected knowledge of the Shogis. Together, they retrieve Xcalibur, however upon reaching the Royal Palace, they learn Bragan has taken control of the Kingdom as regent to Arthus, the 10-year-old sovereign, too young to rule himself, and confiscated Prince Erwann's lands as his own, falsely branding him as the assassin.
Unable to convince the lords or Arthus that Bragan is a traitor, Djana goes on the run with Herik, Tara - a member of the People of the Sea, often referred to as Barbarians - and Wip, a small dragon, and are branded outlaws by Bragan. Djana's resistance to Bragan's alliance with Kwodahn sparks a rebellion in the kingdom, assisted by the people of the villages of Mallory and Quinn, and (later), secretly assisted by Prince Duncan, one of the lords of the Kingdom. [Wiki]
Although the series has the weakness of much relatively early computer animation (relatively few active characters on screen at the same time, and smooth environments etc) it is still worth a look if you like this sort of thing. Much of the landscape looks as if it was inspired by the seascapes of the South of France, while the story itself has distinct Arthurian echoes as one might expect, but there are some interesting twists and additions. I still think the world created in Xcalibur is, in its own way, very aesthetically pleasing. I once held a conversation with actor Tom Eastwood who plays the chief villain, and remember that he told me that he was instructed to overplay his part, which explains why his Bragan appears such a parody, but entertaining none the less.

The Smurfs
80's Saturday mornings revolved entirely around The Smurfs. That show was the f'n king of the castle.

Prince Valiant for having the balls to actually kill people, and in ways they would actually die back then.
Gummi Bears for just being so much fun, and smartly written to shocking degrees. It was WAY better than any show based on a snack had any right to be.

Up until Disenchantment there hasn't been a medieval fantasy tv cartoon that has interested me enough to watch all the available episodes. I tried out Ronja the Robber's Daughter but I didn't care for it very much because the characters didn't really appeal to me and the character animation was slightly uncanny. I suppose pirates are post-medieval but I enjoyed the first couple of episodes of that show before Dic took over and it went to crap. I've never been a fan of mainstream animated television to the degree that so many others are. The 70's and 80's are considered the dark age of American animation for a reason. Xcalibur seems pretty interesting so I'll try it out.
