Production notes

Take the unlimited fantasy of the legend of King Arthur and Camelot, mix it with the silliness of an ensemble cast of the likes of "Scooby-Doo," and you start to get the gist of "Gawayn", an action-comedy series.

William, the bright-eyed, optimistic hero, is an eager 10-year-old knight-in-training who is completely devoted to his mentor, the lovable but slightly inept knight in gleaming armor, Sir Roderick.

The day that Princess Gwendolyn is miniaturized by the evil Duke of Amaraxos who takes over the kingdom, William, the Princess and Sir Roderick set off on an epic journey to undo the terrible curse.
