TVOkids and Apartment 11 launch new Indigenous kids series Raven’s Quest

Jan 24, 2018

Raven’s Quest features first-person stories told by Indigenous children from across the country.

TVOkids and Apartment 11 are proud to present Raven’s Quest, a unique show that hands the camera to 21 Indigenous children living in communities across Canada.

In every one of the 20 episodes, Raven, an animated character, meets a young host who shares their story by taking viewers through their daily life. The production team worked with each host’s family to capture real moments, big and small, in their home lives. Raven’s Quest invites viewers into the lives of 21 Indigenous kid hosts who share their hobbies, customs, and dreams.

“Raven’s Quest is one way we are striving to reflect the diversity of kids across the country,” says director of TVOkids, Marney Malabar. “We are excited that through this show and its online game, our viewers can hear from kids whose voices are often not represented.”

The seven-minute-long Raven’s Quest will air Mondays and Wednesdays at 6:20 p.m. Episodes are rebroadcast Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8:20 a.m. and Saturdays and Sundays at noon. Episodes can be streamed free online at tvokids.com.

Raven’s Quest is the fifth series Apartment 11 and TVOkids have co-produced.

Kids can play an online game featuring The Raven, where they must complete quests to help their animal friends retrieve the missing objects that Raven has hidden.
