My Knight & Me

So Cartoon Network's latest addition for 2017 is an CGI show about an squire, whose attitude wouldn't be out of place in modern times;a bumbling, yet courageou knight; the obligator princess; and an jerkass of a dragon.

My money's on the dragon.

A CGI show on CN? That's new.

Anyways, here's the trailer for the show that I found so you guys can see what it's about:

Huh... That trailer was rough, and reminds me too much of the new Alvin And The Chipmunks, at least in the CGI style.

Still, it could be good.

It's a European import that CN got American distribution to.

Yep, this thing is giving me cringe-heavy flashbacks to The Leauge Of Super Evil, Hot Wheels Battle Force Five, and those direct-to-DVD holiday specials they use to air.

Yeah, a curse on everyone who was involved making this n' shit. Not invested.

It's hitting right in the uncanny valley for me, probably doesn't help that I've been spoiled by watching Miraculous Ladybug. Everything just seems so plastic.

CN seems to have a medieval obsession as of late, this show, Mighty Magiswords, and if Long Live the Royals ever gets picked up we'll have 3 shows.

Yeah, that's never going to happen, unless JG needs the money.

If you mean JG Quintel, he has nothing to do with Long Live the Royals (it was made by an RS crew member though, Sean Szeles to be specific). Getting back on topic, i did legit LOL at the "anyone got a map?" scene, so this may be better than it looks.

Not going to lie, I'm kind of interested. The map scene was great and the princess has some personality.

Also, you can never have enough Medieval Fantasy.

Other than all the anachronistic stuff, I actually found this funny. I'll check it out.

After watching the previews that CN has been airing, I'd say this show has potential. Sure it's cliche, but at least the kid is smart enough to poke holes in the villains' plans.

Ooh, I just saw the commercial yesterday on our CN and I kind of like the different medieval vibe it's got previous CN stuff. There's the dad who seems sort of a clean-cut bumbling protagonist, but his son and a princess who seem like likeable characters. Plus I like that angle of a dad-son knight in general, it adds to the different vibe.

Before we've also had that King Arthur show and that was sort of... like parts of it were entertaining but it was kinda not so exciting to watch back then i guess.

I like the CG because it's way more stylized than what 3D animation usually is.

I'm still weary of this cheap looking CG, but at least it's not as cliche as World Of Quest

Few episodes in and it's not bad. Few rough spots but it succeeds more than fails IMO.

I watched an episode, and yeah, the animation and designs are pretty awesome. It's just that the writing is just as I expected: Cliché Storm. It can work for a quick Saturday morning time killer, but for me, that's all it can be.

Oddly enough, the most ineteresting thing to me is that this series was made by Team To, the animation studio also responsible for my favorite guilty pleasure, Rabbids Invasion. Just looking at the designs of the characters remind me of the humans from Rabbids.

Huh. Just now noticed that.

Not every series (in fact, MANY if not all series) that use CGI, cannot be like Miraculous Ladybug.

This started as an animated short that starred the titular knight, although he was the only character in it, and he wasn't a dad. But it made the festival rounds and won many awards, so the studio decided to adapt it loosely into a series.
