Princess Gwenevere and the Jewel Riders, also known outside of North America as Starla & the Jewel Riders (and sometimes spelled as the more traditionally Arthurian "Guinevere"[note 1]), is an American fantasy-themed animated television series aimed at pre-teen girl audiences and produced by Bohbot Entertainment in association with Hong Ying Animation Company Limited. It was internationally syndicated by Bohbot on their Syndicated Amazin' Adventures block, where it originally ran for two 13-episode seasons from 1995 until 1996. The show's plot follows the quest of the eponymous young Princess Gwenevere of Avalon and her two fellow teenage Jewel Riders, Fallon and Tamara, to find the seven lost enchanted jewels so they can stop the evil sorceress Lady Kale from taking over the kingdom. In the second season, the Jewel Riders receive more powers to compete against the returning Kale and the mighty new enemy Morgana for more magical jewels in order to rescue their banished mentor Merlin and restore harmony in magic.
The series is in many ways similar to The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers, and both had the same creator and director, Robert Mandell, as well as some of its writers, notably Christopher Rowley. The series was initially planned as an adaptation of Dragonriders of Pern, came in the wake of Bohbot's earlier take on the Arthurian legend, King Arthur and the Knights of Justice, and shares similarities with the magical girl subgenre of anime and with some American cartoons. Although critics were divided on the show, it was a major hit in France. It was later rebooted as the novel series Avalon: Web of Magic during the 2000s. In 2023, Princess Gwenevere and the Jewel Riders sequel comic was announced by Mad Cave Studios.[6]
