| The Elephant Princess | comment |
The Elephant Princess is an Australian children's show created by Jonathan M. Shiff (creator of H₂O: Just Add Water). Only had two seasons consisting of 52 episodes which aired from 2008-2011.The show follows Alexandra "Alex" Wilson, an ordinary teenage girl... or at least that's what she thinks, until a boy named Kuru and a magical elephant named Anala appear in her garden on the day of her 16th birthday. Kuru informs Alex that she is in fact the heir to the throne of the kingdom of Manjipoor. With Kuru's help, Alex learns to use her newfound magical abilities and stakes her claim to the throne against her scheming cousin, Vashan. | |

Frothy Mugs of Water: In the second season, Alex and her friends get a gig playing at a club which apparently serves nothing but juice. | |

The Reveal: Omar, the queen's advisor, is Alex's biological father. Diva is actually a 600-year-old sorceress who'd been plotting to take over Manjipoor and was using Vashan while he thought he was using her. She also killed the king of Manjipoor. | |

| The Elephant Princess / int_754df088 | comment |
Put on a Bus: The only characters from season 1 that appear in season 2 are Alex, Amanda, Kuru, Anala and Diva. Justified at least in part by the fact that Alex has moved to a different city to start university (and also not surprising given that three years elapsed between the seasons in real life). | |

Overly Long Name: Alex's full, real name is Liliuokalani Parasha Kaled Persephone Amanirenas. The name Liliuokalani is of Hawaiian origin (and was in fact the name of the last Hawaiian queen), Parasha is a Russian name, Kaled resembles a variant of the Arabic name Khalid (which is more commonly given to males), Persephone is the name of the Greek goddess of the Underworld, and Amanirenas was the name of the queen of the Nubian kingdom of Kush. | |

The Evil Prince: Vashan is Alex's cousin and (presumably) next in line for the throne of Manjipoor after her. He very much believes that he is the rightful heir, and spends a good portion of the series trying to find ways to undermine Alex or otherwise demonstrate that she is unfit to rule. | |

Canada Does Not Exist | |
| The Elephant Princess / int_c0965210 | comment |
Canada Does Not Exist: A weird, Australian version. The school the kids go is possibly in Australia, but unlikely. The lack of school uniforms (extremely unusual in Australia) compounded with the unbiquitous use of lockers (which are not as widespread Down Under) and the time spent hanging around them, evokes the schools of basically any North American kids' show ever made, rather than an Aussie place of education. | |

| The Elephant Princess / int_c67af1b0 | comment |
Big Bad Wannabe: Vashan spends all of Season 1 plotting to seize the throne, arrogant about his powers, smug in how he's got it all under control... or at least he believes he does, until Diva pulls the rug right out from under him by revealing that she has been ten times the powerful wizard and wicked ruler he could ever hope to be. She then proceeds to entirely drain him of his powers before tossing him into the dungeons. | |
