T-Bag: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

T-Bag began life as a simple educational adventure serial teaching children about letters, but the strength of its central characters and its quest-genre concept made it an extremely popular series, leading to over ten years of enchanting children's adventure. Developed by Grant Cathro and Lee Pressman , the series dealt with a young girl challenging the dominion of the nefariously powerful witch T-Bag in several wondrous fairy-tale lands that blended both fact and fiction, collecting several items across many "lands" of the world they were inhabiting, when all the items are successfully retrieved, they form a weapon that either banishes T-Bag from the realm completely or restores the balance of power.
