The Amazing Adrenalini Brothers is an animated television series created by Dan Chambers, Mark Huckerby, and Nick Ostler, known collectively as The Pox. Starting off as online shorts for the CBBC website in 2002, it was eventually commissioned as a full series by CITV and Cartoon Network in the United Kingdom, S4C in Wales, YTV and VRAK.TV in Canada. It is an international co-production between UK studio Pesky and Studio B Productions in Vancouver, British Columbia. A total of 26 episodes were produced.
The show's directors Claire Underwood and Dan Chambers and producer David Hodgson picked up the British Academy Children's Award for Animation in 2006.
Overview[]
The show follows a trio of travelling showmen called the Adrenalini brothers who are hailing from the mysterious land of Réndøosîa (a fictional Eastern European country that experiences an unusually high rate of natural disasters to the point that its flag is always depicted with a hole in it, as well as being at war with the neighboring nation of Grimzimistan). Together, the Adrenalini brothers are named Xan, Enk, and Adi, and they travel across the world staging ridiculously hazardous stunts, usually succeeding (but more out of luck than skill). In their travels, they have visited many real countries and places in the world, and even many periods in history (and, in some cases, fiction).
