The Kind Heroes is the original series of animated cartoon films created by a renowned Dutch artist, Toon van Driel, and produced by LIVEKINDLY Collective. The Kind Heroes are passionate and lovable animals making conscious living the new norm. The cartoons are chronicling the Kind Heroes’ quests to use their magic powers and save themselves and their animal friends from being hurt.
It was Dutch cartoonist Toon van Driel's passion for animals that inspired him to create Ralph the Calf and his kind, heroic animal friends. He comments: "It's a fun cartoon with a serious message behind it. I hope these tales will help people find empathy for animals."
