The animated comedy starring Will Arnett, titled “Super Team Canada“, will premiere on the Canadian streaming service Crave on May 16th. This timing is strategic as it coincides with a growing sense of Canadian nationalism due to an intensifying trade tariffs dispute between Canada and the United States.
The series about six Canadian superheroes saving the world from giant evil robots has an all-Canadian cast that includes Cobie Smulders voicing the role of Niagara Falls, Kevin McDonald as the Canadian prime minister and Charles Demers as Poutine, a French Canadian crime fighter.
Arnett voices the role of Breakaway, a former minor league hockey player who uses his skates, stick and special pucks to fight crime as the unofficial leader of Super Team Canada. The ensemble voice cast also has Brian Drummond, Ceara Morgana, Veena Sood and guest star Jay Baruchel.
Super Team Canada from Arnett’s Electric Avenue and Thunderbird Entertainment’s Atomic Cartoons is written by Emmy winners Robert Cohen and Joel H. Cohen (The Big Bang Theory) and has Bryan Adams writing and performing the theme song.
“With more action, heart, and hilarity than a Fredericton bonspiel, Super Team Canada follows six lesser known and underrated Canadian superheroes, tasked with saving the world from giant evil robots, an unemployed octopus, and a seriously needy hardware store clerk. When the world’s other heroes are trapped and killed, these wanna-be benchwarmers become Earth’s last and most maple-syrup-powered hope,” a synopsis from the producers states.
The animated comedy series consisting of ten parts is set to premiere with its first two episodes on Crave on May 16. Subsequent episodes will be released every Friday thereafter.
News of the launch date for the homegrown animated series comes amid the United States’ trade war with Canada. Trump earlier announced 25 percent targeted tariffs on Canada and Mexico, his country’s largest trade partners, and has threatened to impose tariffs on all Canadian goods imported into the U.S. on April 2.
Trump has also stirred nationalism north of the border by calling for Canada to become the 51st U.S. state. Canada has threatened its own retaliatory measures and new Canadian prime minister Mark Carney is expected to call an early national election to be held in late April or early May.
