Harvey Beaks

Harvey Beaks centers on a shy, well behaved young bird who finds himself amid the bright, odd world of the forest where creatures talk and surprises lurk around every corner. Rather than chasing fame or high drama, he clings to kindness and curiosity as a compass. His closest friends are Fee and Foo, a pair of lively siblings whose appetite for mischief clashes with Harvey's cautious nature. The trio roams the magical woods around their home, chasing small adventures, solving simple problems, and learning how to stand up for themselves without losing their gentle spirits. The show blends whimsy with warmth, creating a world where friendship and empathy matter more than bravado or flashy tricks.

Harvey Beaks is an original animated series created by C. H. Greenblatt that premiered in 2015 on Cartoon Network. It uses a team directed approach across episodes and features a voice cast that includes Max Charles, Angelina Wahler, Thomas Robinson, Scott Adsit, and Kerri Kenney.
