David and Friends (TV series)

David and Friends is an Australian children's slice-of-life animated TV series produced by Media Eureka, and based on the book series of the same name. It stars a sweet but sensetive 8-year-old boy named David Willson whose main interests and knowledge area are in TV shows, especially animated ones, that are more stereotypically associated with children younger than him. This usually results in the show's two main antagonists - his father and Bertie, the school bully - giving him a hard time. However, he is always in good company with his two best friends - Molly Kaneshiro and Warren Choolburra.

Main characters

 * David Willson - The show's protagonist. He is known for his drawing skill and is a nerd about lots of TV shows, especially ones people often say he's too old for.
 * Molly Kaneshiro - David's friendly next-door neighbour. Like David, she can be shy, but she's always there to lend some comforting words when anyone needs them.
 * Warren Choolburra - David's excitable friend with a rebellious streak. He loves superheroes, robots, monsters, aliens and anything else that goes crash, bang, pow!
 * Ms. Croileagan - David's bubbly teacher who is firm when she needs to be.
 * Jonathon Willson - David's dad. He has hints of kindness sometimes, but his trouble understanding David and his interests has been known to anger him.
 * Linda Willson - David's much kinder mother who can be firm, but will always side with David if Jonathon is being unreasonable.
 * Bertie Griffin - David's school bully, who's big and mean, but far from smart.
