The Mighty Ones S1
DreamWorks Animation’s latest cartoon series, The Mighty Ones, follows the hilarious adventures of a group of creatures: a twig, a pebble, a leaf and a strawberry, who live in an unkempt backyard belonging to a trio of equally unkempt humans whom they mistake for gods.
Voiced by legends like Eric Bauza (Looney Tunes’ Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck), Fred Tatasciore (Looney Tunes’ Yosemite Sam and Taz) and Josh Brener (Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Donnie and Neeku Vozo in Star Wars: Resistance, plus Nelson in Silicon Valley), the series was nominated for a 2021 Emmy for Outstanding Voice Directing for an Animated Series. With cartoon violence and slapstick humour, it’s suggested for ages 8+.
