Queen to star in cartoon
Apr 4, 2006, 18:02 GMT
Britain's Queen Elizabeth II is to guest star in a children's cartoon to mark her 80th birthday.
The monarch will appear brandishing a sword as part of popular children's show 'The Amazing Adrenalini Brothers'.
During the cartoon, the leader of the Adrenalinis, Xan, loses a precious red cape under the wheels of the queen's carriage. The trio of brothers then creep into Buckingham Palace in a bid to get it back. Their mission ends with Xan having a sword fight with the queen. Series director Claire Underwood admits the monarch may not be too pleased with her animated character.She is quoted in Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper as saying: 'We caricatured her in a cheeky way, so bang goes my chance of being Dame Claire!'
Producer David Hodgson added: 'Viewers will see the queen in a new light - we really hope she is not unamused.'
The episode, called 'Cape of Majesty', will be screened on Britain's ITV channel at 3.55pm on April 21.Copyright 2006 BANG Media International
