Dave the Barbarian is an American animated television series created
by Doug Langdale for Disney Channel. The show centers on a barbarian
named Dave and his friends and family, who go on surreal
Medieval-themed adventures. The series premiered on January 23, 2004
and ended on January 22, 2005, with a total of one season and 21
episodes. Reruns aired from January 23, 2005 to December 28, 2009.
Reruns have also aired on Toon Disney until February 13, 2009 when the
channel was shut down and was replaced by Disney XD.The series takes
place in the kingdom of Udrogoth during the Middle Ages. It centers on
Dave (voiced by Danny Cooksey), a powerful yet cowardly barbarian who
lives with his fashionable yet self-centered older sister Candy (Erica
Luttrell) and feisty younger sister Fang (Tress MacNeille). His
parents, Throktar and Glimia, are the King and Queen, but are away
"fighting evil" across the world (though they sometimes communicate
via a magic crystal ball or cauldron), and have left Candy in charge
of the kingdom as Princess Regent while Dave is supposed to defend the
kingdom (since he is the biggest). Together the three siblings, along
with their gluttonous and mildly incompetent "wizard" uncle Oswidge,
are left to run and protect the kingdom from the villainous yet
dimwitted The Dark Lord Chuckles the Silly Piggy (Paul Rugg).There is
a Narrator, referred to either as "the Narrator" or "the Storyteller",
voiced by Jeff Bennett. He is able to talk to the characters of the
show, and vice versa, which breaks the fourth wall to the extent where
he was once captured by The Dark Lord Chuckles the Silly Piggy, and
was forced to tell the story from his kidnapper's commands.The show
was created and written by Doug Langdale. After premiering on Disney
in 2004, it began broadcasting on Toon Disney a year later. In Latin
America, the show was broadcast on Jetix.
