The Heroic Quest of the Valiant Prince Ivandoe, also known as Prince Ivandoe or Ivandoe for short, is a Danish-British adventure/fantasy television series created by Christian Bøving-Andersen and Eva Lee Wallberg, and co-created by Daniel Lennard. It is a parody of the 1820 British novel Prince Ivanhoe, written by Walter Scott. It is produced by Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe, in association with Sun Creature, for Cartoon Network. It ran from 2022 to 2024, airing 40 episodes across one season. It is the first series under the Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe banner, although it began life as a short-form series under Cartoon Network Studios Europe (the original name of Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe) in 2017.
The series tells the tale of Prince Ivandoe, a young, pampered buck, who leaves his cushy life in the Stag Kingdom, to set out on an almost impossible quest to Eagle Mountain, where the fabled Golden Feather sits. Along with his trusted and dotting bird squire, Bert, he must endure the hardships of the surrounding four kingdoms if he wishes to find the so-called feather that he believes will ensure his legacy to each of the five kingdoms of the world that he surely is the brave, strong, and noble prince he sees himself as.
