Production notes
Raven Tales is a series of CGI animated television/film programs targeted at school-age children and their families. It features Native American folklore developed to appeal to a broad international audience in a contemporary, humorous and entertaining way.
Raven Tales concentrates on the wild and funny adventures of Raven, the most powerful, and one might add, trickiest troublemaker of Native American folklore.
The Raven Tales, like the Simpsons, centers its humor on the interactions of its reoccurring ensemble cast. The three principal characters, Raven, Eagle and Frog, anchor the show and provide familiar faces and humorous antics that feature widely in each episode. Along with the principal characters are a cast of humans, their children, and a group of mythological creatures whose foibles and flaws give our heroes plenty to worry about. And with 10,000 years of market research to support them, these stories are surefire hits with any audience.
The pilot episode, How Raven Stole the Sun, was adapted from a popular Haida myth, but has elements of Salish and Kwakiutl, while other episodes have been adapted from Cree, Cherokee, Lakota, Navajo, Nisgaa and other Native American stories from all across North America.
The cast, music and sound design are all by Aboriginal talent.
This series is scheduled to run for 13 episodes.
