[2] Borrowing from the original premise of the classical tales of One Thousand and One Nights, the TV series features Scheherazade, the storyteller, in a Persian court with her sister Donyazad, King Shahryar, Prince Shahzaman and a playful monkey named Maymoon.

This is the first time a media company has serialized the books of One Thousand and One Nights into an animated TV series for children.

There are also a number of recurring characters such as Sinbad and Dina, Mujab and Samir and Harun al-Rashid.

A red herring is presented in each episode such as a flying carpet which leaves room for the stories to continue.

Voiced by Nicole Oliver Confident and older than her years, Scheherazade is savvy, quick-witted, and no nonsense in her dealings with Donyazad and Shahzaman.

She serves the role of queen, mother, educator and peace-keeper and it is through her that we are told many captivating stories.

Voiced by Colin Murdock Shahryar is slightly older than his wife Scheherazade, and has little experience or knowledge of what it takes to make a good king.

Often when Scheherazade is telling a story to the kids, Shahryar is listening in and will draw the wrong message.

Majid frequently finds himself trying to calm Shahryar down when the king is throwing a temper tantrum.

Voiced by Scott McNeil Maymoon is a mischievous pet monkey who belongs to Shahzaman.

Together with partner Aly Jetha, Series and Creative Director Chad Van De Keere, story editor Randy Rogel as well as the Big Bad Boo team, they formulated the 1001 Nights TV series, which would be appropriate for a modern audience.
