Dave the Barbarian
Created by Doug Langdale
A witty, high-spirited animated comedy that subverts barbarian fantasy tropes through a protagonist who'd rather cook and bird-watch than fight, sustained across 41 episodes of family-centered adventure.
This animated comedy series is set in the Middle Ages and follows the title character, Dave, in his comedic adventures with his family (his sisters, Candy and Fang) as they protect themselves and their family from a world of oddball foes. Dave himself combines strength with an appreciation of the finer things in life, including origami, bird watching, and even gourmet cooking.
