The delightful "Choppy and the Princess" aka "Princess Knight" (English dub on Crunchyroll), tells the story of a princess who is raised as a prince by her parents, the king and Queen, since no girl can become ruler in their medieval country. Two members of the court, one who sounds a like W. C. Fields the other who wants his own son to gain the throne, are always trying to prove the prince is a girl which you'd think would be easy since she has such a high chipper voice thanks to Carole Wyand.
Princess Knight is brave and takes on all challengers including dragons, soldiers, thieves, and even supernatural beings. While she is aided by her horse and a not so helpful angel named Choppy, what is remarkable compared to modern anime heroes is that she has no magical or super powers. She fights with her own strength and sword skills and sometimes loses, at first.
The animation and soundtrack have a nostalgic style reminiscent of old Disney movies and Silly Symphonies. The episodes are fun and aimed at children under 11. Parents can enjoy it with their children.
