Mike the Knight is a CGI-animated children's television series created by Alexander Bar and written by Marc Seal. The series premiered on Treehouse TV in Canada on September 8, 2011,[2] and aired until January 13, 2017.

Premise[edit]

The series stars Mike, a knight-in-training who aspires to be a knight like his father, the King, who is away exploring other lands. He goes on adventures with his dragon friends, Sparkie and Squirt, his sister Evie, who is a witch-in-training, and his horse, Galahad, through which he learns from his mistakes and learns how to be a proper knight.

Characters[edit]

  • Mike is an eight-year-old knight-in-training who aspires to be a knight like his father. He is voiced by Jake Beale, later Trek Buccino, in North America and Benjamin Baker[3] in the United Kingdom.
  • Galahad is Mike's horse.
  • Evie is Mike's younger sister: a witch-in-training who joins him on missions whenever she can. However, her magic often goes awry. She is voiced by Erin Pitt in North America and Jessica Hann in the United Kingdom.
  • Mr. Cuddles is Evie's pet frog and best friend.
  • Sparkie is a large, red fire-breathing dragon. He is voiced by Martin Roach in North America and Colin McFarlane in the United Kingdom.
  • Squirt is a small, blue water-squirting dragon. He is voiced by Andrew Sabiston in North America and Russell Tovey in the United Kingdom.
  • Flutter is Squirt's younger sister, who is also a water-squirting dragon. She does not appear much, and when she does she is usually with her parents.
  • Queen Martha is Mike and Evie's mother and the King's wife, who is wise and kind. She is voiced by Alyson Court in North America and Beth Chalmers in the United Kingdom.
  • The King is Martha's husband and Mike and Evie's father. He is absent in earlier episodes due to being on adventures, but appears in multiple episodes in the third season.
  • Yip and Yap are Queen Martha's corgis. Yip is male and wears a blue collar and Yap is female and wears a red collar. They often get into trouble, usually because of Mike's knightly interests or Evie's magic. They are voiced by Robert Tinkler in both versions.
  • Fernando is a bard whose ditties begin and end each episode. He is voiced by Scott McCord in North America and Russell Trovey in the United Kingdom.
  • Trollee is a troll who is one of Mike's friends and can be shy. He is voiced by Nissae Isen in North America and Samantha Reynolds in the United Kingdom.
  • Mr. Troll and Mrs. Troll are Trollee's parents.
  • Richard and his younger brother Peter are companions.[4]
  • Edward is a knight-in-training from a different kingdom and Mike's rival.[citation needed]
  • Robin & Marian are young children who sometimes help out.[citation needed]
  • The Great Walforfini is an elderly wizard who sometimes teaches Evie.
  • Mrs. Piecrust is a baker who produces pies and who Mike often rescues. She is voiced by Sarah Carbanoose.
