Stuntboy: The Animated Series

Every great hero needs a great home. In this first episode, the Cat with No Name takes us on a tour of Skylight Gardens and introduces us to the community that makes Portico Reeves who he is. From Zola and her parents to Mr. Mister and Brawner Family and all the neighbors who fill these halls with warmth, noise, and love, this is the world that holds Portico up. Before we ever see Stuntboy in action, we get to understand where he comes from and why this place matters. Because every superhero story starts with the people who made them.

What happens inside your body when everything feels like too much? In this episode, Herbert Singletary comes with his words sharp and ready, and Portico has to face something bigger than any stunt he has ever pulled. The Fretz shows up, that swirling, spinning, heart-pounding, stomach-dropping feeling that takes over when anxiety hits hard. This episode goes inside the feeling so kids know they are not alone in it, and so they know that even the bravest people in the world have to learn how to breathe through the storm.
