Princess Gwenevere and the Jewel Riders
television series
Princess Gwenevere and the Jewel Riders, sometimes spelled as the more traditionally Arthurian "Guinevere", and known outside of North America as Starla & the Jewel Riders, is an American fantasy animated television series aimed at the pre-teen girl audience. It was produced by New Frontier Entertainment and Enchanted Camelot Productions, with animation provided by Hong Ying Animation. It was distributed internationally by Bohbot Entertainment, and broadcast in the United States on their syndicated Amazin' Adventures block, where it originally ran from 1995 to 1996, for two seasons and twenty-six episodes.
The series follows the titular protagonist, Princess Gwenevere of Avalon, and her fellow teenage Jewel Riders, Fallon and Tamara, in their quest to find the seven lost enchanted jewels and to stop the evil sorceress Lady Kale from conquering Avalon. In the second season, the Jewel Riders gain new powers and fight against Kale and a new enemy Morgana, as they search for more magical jewels in order to rescue their banished mentor, Merlin, and restore harmony in magic.
The series bears similarities to The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers. They had the same creator and director, Robert Mandell, as well as some writers in common, notably Christopher Rowley. The series was initially planned to be an adaptation of Dragonriders of Pern and was developed as part of Bohbot's earlier take on the Arthurian legends, King Arthur and the Knights of Justice. During the 2000s, Jewel Riders inspired the novel and comic book series Avalon: Web of Magic. A Princess Gwenevere and the Jewel Riders soft reboot comic miniseries was published by Mad Cave Studios starting in 2024, including a crossover story merging it with the world and characters of King Arthur and the Knights of Justice.
