Marvin the Tap-Dancing Horse (also known as Edouard et Martin for the French dub in Quebec) is a children's animated television series co-produced by Nelvana Limited and Hong Guang Animation for Teletoon and PBS. Among the series' executive producers are Michael and Betty Paraskevas, whom they created Maggie and the Ferocious Beast, and they also made the book that the show is based on. It tells the stories of a young horse named Marvin who is part of a 1950's carnival. Some episodes include original songs to help illustrate the theme or accompany montages that carry the story forward.
