What's the Story?

FREEFONIX is a British animated series about a renegade musical band and its attempt to keep the world from total disharmony. Years ago an ancient Sonic Lord named Sugar Che (Susan Zelouf) imprisoned the evil Sonic Lord Vox (Adam Longworth) to the Void of Silencia. But now he is back, and seeking to take over the world by controlling a perfect-sounding, mind-bending musical energy source called the 13th Note. To protect it she brings together musical performers BB (Shelley Longworth), Freestone (Marcel McCalla) , and Mostart (Jules de Jongh) to form the Freefonix, who must do everything they can to keep the 13th Note out of Vox’s hands. But Vox has recruited Maya De Zya (Zelouf), the greedy owner of ComaCo record label, which produces formulaic pop bands, and Mantyz, an edgy heavy metal band under contract to do his bidding. Protecting the 13th Note isn’t easy, but Freefonix is willing and able to battle them in epic Soundclashes to keep it, and the planet, safe.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say: (1):
Kids say: Not yet rated

This futuristic and fun series offers a creative and edgy story world in which music is viewed as a powerful force. It also serves as a subtle critique of pop music and its performers, while underscoring the importance of good sound, talent, and creativity in the music scene.

Freefonix doesn’t teach much about music, and some of the show’s clever quips, including a few of the characters’ names, will go over the heads of younger viewers. Nonetheless, it offers an entertainingly (and loud) homage to music and the important role it plays in people's lives.
