Awesome Magical Tales is an exciting animated show for kids and teens. It was first known as Teenage Fairytale Dropouts. The series was created by Adolfo Martinez Vara and José C. Garcia de Letona. It's based on characters from a Mexican animated movie called Magos y Gigantes (which means Wizards and Giants).
The show was made by Ánima Estudios from Mexico. Other companies like SLR Productions (Australia), Home Plate Entertainment (USA), and Telegael (Ireland) helped produce it. Awesome Magical Tales first aired in Australia on December 31, 2012. In Mexico, it was released online and called Generación Fairytale.
The show came to the United States on the Hub Network in May 2014. However, it didn't finish airing all its episodes there. This was because the Hub Network changed its name to Discovery Family later that year.
Ánima Estudios launched official YouTube channels for the show. The Spanish version started in May 2015, and the English version followed a week later. Recently, a company called Bejuba! Entertainment took over distributing the show. They also gave it the new name, Awesome Magical Tales. The show has even been renewed for a second season in Australia! This happened because it was very popular there.

What the Show is About
This fun show takes place in a world full of fairy tale characters. It follows three main friends who are teenagers. They want to live their own lives and be themselves. This is sometimes hard because of their famous parents and magical family histories!
- Jeremiah is the son of the Giant from Jack and the Beanstalk. But Jeremiah isn't a giant himself!
- Trafalgar is the nephew of Merlin the Wizard. The funny thing is, Trafalgar isn't very good at casting spells!
- Fury is a fairy, but she doesn't have wings. She is the daughter of the Tooth Fairy.
These three friends go through everyday teenage life. They face challenges and adventures, all while trying to figure out who they are.
