Mighty Magiswords is an American Flash animated fantasy-comedy online and television series created by Kyle A. Carrozza (creator of "MooBeard: The Cow Pirate" from Nicktoons' Random! Cartoons) specifically for Cartoon Network Video, being the network's first online original series. The web shorts officially premiered online on May 6, 2015 as well as the interactive games shown in the app, Cartoon Network Anything.
On June 13, 2016, it was confirmed that Mighty Magiswords was picked up as a full-length TV series and premiered on September 29, 2016 on Cartoon Network.[2] A sneak peek of the episode "Mushroom Menace" aired on September 5, 2016, prior to the official premiere date.
Plot
The series is about Vambre and Prohyas, a sibling team of "Warriors for Hire", who go on hilarious adventures and crazy quests around the world to find and collect magical swords.[3]
Background and production
Mighty Magiswords is created by Kyle A. Carrozza, an animator, voice actor, musician and storyboard artist who currently writes songs for The FuMP and was previously the creator, storyboard artist and voice actor for his short "MooBeard: The Cow Pirate" on Nicktoons Network series, Random! Cartoons. Produced in Flash animation, this series is the first original cartoon show on Cartoon Network made specifically for online.[3] These characters were created by Kyle when he was at high school in 1996[4] and was pitched to Cartoon Network in 2005-2006 under the names "Legendary Warriors for Hire" and to Mondo Media[5] in 2007-2008 as "Dungeons and Dayjobs"[6] before Cartoon Network picked it up in 2013. Most of the series is done in-house at Cartoon Network Studios while the oversea mid-production was done at Malaysian animation studio, Inspidea.
Characters
Main
- Vambre Warrior (voiced by Grey DeLisle-Griffin): Vambre is Prohyas' older sister. She has a zero tolerance for pants and that's why she doesn't wear them and instead wears a blue leotard. She also has a British accent and it was revealed in one Mighty Magisword Vlog entry that her original magisword is the Tomato Magisword, which was given to her by her mother, Kablammica Warrior, when she was still young. She is completely obsessed with the "Veronica Victorious" books. After the events of The Mystery of Loch Mess, she and her brother became the official go-to adventurers for royal Rhyboflaven missions for Princess Zange. As of "Dungeons and Dayjobs", she and her brother get a new job at Slug Burger and their promotion as the official Slug-Burger Monthly Magisword Kitchen Staff Trainers.
- Prohyas Warrior (voiced by Kyle A. Carrozza): Prohyas is Vambre's younger brother. He is impulsive, compassionate and brave, and will always do the right thing. Compared to his sister, Prohyas is sometimes depicted as the kinder or more emotionally intelligent sibling. Prohyas's favorite animals are dolphins and that's why he loves the Dolphin Magisword. He also can play the accordion, based on the fact that his voice actor Kyle Carrozza is an accordionist and musician himself. It is revealed in one Mighty Magisword Vlog entry that his mother, Kablammica Warrior, gave him his very first Magisword, the Dolphin Magisword, when he was still young. After the events of The Mystery of Loch Mess, he and his sister became the official go-to adventurers for royal Rhyboflaven missions for Princess Zange. As of "Dungeons and Dayjobs", he and his sister get a new job at Slug Burger and their promotion as the official Slug-Burger Monthly Magisword Kitchen Staff Trainers.
Recurring
- Grup the Dragon (voiced by Kyle A. Carrozza): Grup is a small dragon who enjoys sandwiches and cooking. After being vanquished by the Warriors for Hire and having his home taken over by the Mysterious Hooded Woman, he now lives with the Warriors. His wings are so small and weak that he tends to fall down on them. He also works as an employee at the Cave of Stuff. With the help from the Warriors, he won a talent contest and became the official royal entertainer of Rhyboflaven but was fired by Princess Zange shortly after she sees how terrible he is and was replaced by The Mysterious Hooded Woman.
- Princess Zange (voiced by Grey Griffin): Princess Zange is the princess of Rhyboflaven who often hires the Warriors on missions to get paid and earn Magiswords. Despite her valley girl personality, she is quite intelligent as she is aware of the existence of Magiswords.
- The Mysterious Hooded Woman (voiced by Grey Griffin): A mysterious woman known for wearing a purple robe with a hood who sends the Warriors on missions. Despite her mysteriousness, she enjoys partying and raves. She became the new royal entertainer of Rhyboflaven because she came in second place in the talent contest and after Princess Zange fired Grup for his terrible singing and awful song.
- Hoppus (voiced by Eric Bauza): Hoppus is a rabbit who serves as the royal messenger to the King, Queen and Princess of Rhyboflavin often giving news from them to the Warriors for Hire. He is always after vegetable-themed Magiswords as clear as his motto "All vegetable magiswords shall be mine!", and carries a Carrot Magisword.
- Phil the Pilferer (voiced by Eric Bauza): Phil is a petty thief who can vanish and appear in sight at the blink of an eye. He often gets into the Warriors' way by stealing their stuff. He is also a member of the secret society called "The Brotherhood of Thieves". His voice is modeled after Antonio Banderas. He is also a talented juggler.
- King Rexxtopher (voiced by Eric Bauza): King Rexxtopher is a Tyrannosaurus who is the ruler of the Dinosaur Kingdom. He often banishes the Warriors for Hire for smuggling dinosaurs from his kingdom and eating them. Despite this, he is willing to cooperate with them at various situations and also carries the Claw Magisword.
- Old Man Oldman (voiced by Kyle A. Carrozza): Old Man Oldman is an elderly, diminutive man who often hires the Warriors for Hire to do manual labor and chores for him, much to the Warriors' chagrin. He is also an insomniac. His talent is training squirrels on doing various tricks and skills.
- Nohyas (voiced by Kyle A. Carrozza): Nohyas is the mysterious doppleganger of Prohyas who believes that he is him, even though his clothes are palette swapped and his wears a derby and a mustache. He also has a sister named Handbre who speaks French and is actually his hand dressed like Vambre. His voice is based on the late Randy "Macho Man" Savage, even mimicking his catch-phrase, "NO YEAH!". His talent is doing impressions, which is pretty much using his Pencil Magisword to make someone look like him.
- Ralphio (voiced by series head writer Mr. Lawrence): Ralphio is the owner of Ralphio's House of Swords; a shop at Mount Ma'al where he frequently sells the Warriors "magiswords". He has a habit of conning the Warriors (mostly Prohyas) by charging extra for Magiswords, upselling them with lame Magiswords and selling them fake maps, and even steals candy from babies. He has a pet slimeball named Wobbles (voiced by Kyle Carrozza) given to him by Prohyas, who also helps him in the shop.
- Morbidia and Gateaux (voiced by Candi Milo in "Too Many Warriors" and Mary Faber in the TV series and Arin Hanson): The sorcerer rivals of the Warriors for Hire who run a similar business called "Witch Way" as Sorcerers for Hire. They have been rivals with the Warriors since Adventure Academy and the two are often overshadowed by them. Morbidia dresses in a witch outfit, often emphasizes her speech, has an overbite, makes exaggerating facial expressions when she speaks and has an ill-temper. Gateaux dresses in a wizard outfit, often repeats the last word that Morbidia says against his will, lacks a tail for unknown reasons, loves Veronica Victorious as well as writing fan-fictions and is addicted to texting. Morbidia's voice is based on William Shatner and Gateaux's voice is based on George Takei, two actors known for working in the Star Trek series.
- Goomer and Frankylo (both voiced by Kyle A. Carrozza): Goomer is a slimeball who speaks in slime language which Vambre understands since she studied it at Adventure Academy. He hires the Warriors to get him a dinosaur to be his best pal due to being limbless. Frankylo is a friendly baby Ankylosaurus who makes friends fast and is friends with Goomer.
- Witchy Simone (voiced by character designer Lindsay Smith-Carrozza): A hyperactive, over-zealous and odd-tempered witch girl who is a loose cannon at times and has a hard time controlling her magic powers, causing disasters to occur. She works full-time as a cashier and manager at Slug-Burger. Her goal is to be re-admitted to Adventure Academy in order to graduate and become a full-time Adventurer for Hire. Prohyas has a habit of calling her "squirt", to which she usually shouts "That's not my name!" and unleashes her magic. She delivers leftover food from Slug Burger and gives them to Prohyas for free. She is later promoted to manager of Slug Burger by Mr. Spoony.
- Noville (voiced by Phil LaMarr): Noville is the store owner of the Printed Page on Mount Ma'alI who has a crush on Vambre. He is very sensitive and often speaks quietly due to his fear of being social. He delivers the new Veronica Victorious issues to Vambre and Gateaux. He also has regular training sessions with Vambre on how to use his Swish Navy Magisword.
- Omnibus (voiced by Hal Lublin): The self-proclaimed The Great Omnibus the Accumulator, Omnibus is a magician who is a frequent customer of Warriors for Hire, who can be quite annoying and is sometimes ignored by them. He lives in a vast house filled with rare artifacts and collectibles which he often purchases every year, even with some without his knowledge such as Jest-O the Best O (voiced by Mr. Lawrence). He has the ability to disembody his body parts and teleport at will. He also claims to turn people into toads as he threatened the Warriors if anything in his home is out of place.
- Füd (voiced by Grey Griffin): A rare-food enthusiast who hires the Warriors to retrieve items that are in relation to food, hence the name. Füd is always shown with a red-apple on her head and speaks with a soft Southern drawl. She can bake 100 pies in 100 seconds(1 min, 40 sec). She also has a boyfriend named Snax (voiced by Jack McBrayer) who shares the same interest as her.
- Skullivan (voiced by Luke Sienkowski): Skullivan is a skeleton cave monster who, alongside Lady Hiss, Grup and Prug make up the Cave Weirdos in the Cave of Stuff. As Level 1: Cave Weirdos, their job is to make the caves as hard as it can be for the adventurer to find the treasure. Skullivan has a long-suffering outlook on life and longs for his retirement in 500 years.
- Lady Hiss (voiced by Lindsay Smith-Carrozza): Lady Hiss is a rattlesnake cave monster who, alongside Skullivan, Grup and Prug make up the Cave Weirdos in the Cave of Stuff. As Level 1: Cave Weirdos, their job is to make the caves as hard as it can be for the adventurer to find the treasure. Lady Hiss has a laid-back personality and speaks with a skater accent and a lisp.
- Prug (voiced by Kyle A. Carrozza): Prug is a dragon and the brother of Grup. He is a cave monster who, alongside Skullivan, Lady Hiss and his brother, make up the Cave Weirdos in the Cave of Stuff. As Level 1: Cave Weirdos, their job is to make the caves as hard as it can be for the adventurer to find the treasure. Prug has a deadpan expression and looks like a larger version of Grup. His personality in the series is also similar to how Grup's was portrayed in the 3-minute shorts.
- Helmut (voiced by Mr. Lawrence in the TV series): A annoying dwarfed man who is known for his silver helmet which covers his eyes and often pops out of nowhere annoying the cast by shouting "Dorks!". He is very similar to Nelson Muntz from The Simpsons. He works as an assistant for Noville in the Printed Page and often covers for him when he's out, but often messes with the customers and the books. He is currently a frog due to Morbidia turning him into one in the episode "Gotta Get Grup to Get Down". He also enjoys coloring.
- Neddy the Mallet (voiced by Townsend Coleman): A bear adventurer who was a former classmate of Prohyas and Vambre at Adventure Academy. Living in a life through adventuring and borrowing food from picnickers, he took over the Cave of Stuff after retrieving the Bee Magisword and gave himself the official title "King Neddy" and claiming the cave as his castle. He has a habit of eating and sleeping due to his bear natural instincts. He also has a problem remembering peoples' names which led to his dethronement from the Cave of Stuff. His mannerisms are based on The Tick, also voiced by Coleman, which is the primary reason why he was booked for the show.
- Mr. Spoony (voiced by Kyle Massey): Witchy Simone's hard-headed superior at Slug Burger who makes sure that Witchy follows the rules and obeys the motto that "The customer is always right". He became reluctant to help her due to promoting her as manager. After seeing the Warrior's skills with their magiswords which improved work productivity, he gives Simone a raise and purchase his own magiswords from Ralphio so he could use them too to help him with his work at Slug-Burger.
- Mr. Packadermus Packard (voiced by series' supervising director Ken Mitchroney): The Warriors' ill-tempered landlord who makes sure that the Warriors aren't late on their rent. His name is based on the fact that he's an elephant.

Reception
Critical reception
Mighty Magiswords has received mixed to average reviews. Some praise was for the animation and jokes, but some said that it didn't stand out as much as other Cartoon Network shows, with only a 5.1 IMDB score.[58] one mixed reaction came from Emily Ashby of Common Sense Media who wrote, "...Short on substance or value. Kids may not learn much from watching, but they'll undoubtedly enjoy the characters' antics and the laughable mayhem that ensues when each new magisword gets put to use."[59]
