A thrilling mix of folklore, mystery and adventure about a young minotaur – half boy, half bull – found and raised in the human world. With the help of his fiercely loyal human brother, he recruits a bold group of friends to uncover the mystery of his minotaur past and fulfill his destiny, all while battling dark forces determined to see him fail.
The animated series features voice performances from rising stars Ely Solan, Billy Jenkins, Luciana Akpobaro and Billie Boullet, alongside Michael Sheen, Brian Cox, Paul Kaye and T’Nia Miller.
On composing the original score, Christian said, By far my favourite genre to work in is underscoring dramatic stories for younger audiences. The emotional bandwidth is far broader—when something is frightening, I like to push it to its limits; when it’s joyful, it can be expressed with complete openness and sincerity. When I was approached to work on My Brother the Minotaur, I set out not only to create a thematic narrative, but to build an entire world.
