Disenchantment

'''Disenchantment''' is the creation of [[The Simpsons]] and [[Futurama]] creator [[Matt Groening]]. It was released on [[Netflix]] on August 17th, 2018. It is a fantasy fiction adventure cartoon set in a mythical Middle Ages time period and features a variety of well-known creatures including humans, elves, ogres, giants and mermaids, as well as it's own novel species such as Dankmirians and Maruvians. The main [[Protagonist|protaganist]] is a Princess called ''Tiabeannie'' ("''Bean''" for short), who rebels against her father ''King Zog'' and step-mother ''Queen Oona''. She has a series of misadventures with her elf buddy ''Elfo'', and her personal demon (daemon) ''Luci'' in a quest to find the Elixir of Life, and her true identity.

Tropes used in Disenchantment include:

Call Back
- King Fight at the beginning of season 1 is called back to with a Queen Fight at the end.
Dreamland: the citadel where the humans live is called "Dreamland"
- the land of the elves - "Elfwood" - appears from another dimension and is an example of a dreamworld within a dreamworld.
Fantasy World Map
Evil Stepmother: inverted
Fantastic Aesop: episode 8, "The Limits of Immortality"
High Fantasy: Affectionate Parody
Immortality: the quest for the elixir of life and the Eternity Pendant.
The Kingdom - Dreamland
Meaningful Name - Luci is short for Lucifer - and is a Maru demon, similar to the daemons of His Dark Materials.
- Parodied with all the elves having silly elfish names like Elfo, Shock-o, Return-o etc
Pun-Based Title: episode titles such as "Swamp and Circumstance", "To Thine Own Elf Be True"
The Quest: to find the elixir of life, of course.
Running Gag
- Luci likes to ride on the back of as many of the other characters as possible
