"Дети свободы" - это анимационный образовательный исторический телевизионный сериал, выпущенный DIC Entertainment, первоначально транслировавшийся на PBS Kids с 2 сентября 2002 года по 4 апреля 2003 года, хотя PBS продолжала транслировать повторы до августа 2004 года. Шоу с тех пор было синдицировано с DiC филиалами небольших телевизионных сетей, таких как CW и MyNetworkTV и некоторыми независимыми станциями, чтобы эти станции могли выполнять образовательные и информационные требования FCC. С 16 сентября 2006 года сериал транслировался на новом блоке CBS под названием KOL "Секретная вечеринка" на CBS, затем он транслировался на KEWLopolis, который принимал 12 сентября 2009 года. В 2008 году он работал на The History Channel. Сериал в настоящее время находится в блоке Cookie Jar Toons на этом телевидении и CBS's Cookie Jar TV. В 2012 году Qubo объявила о том, что канал выйдет на свободу в Liberty's Kids осенью 2012 года. Сериал была основан на идее Кевина О'Доннелла и был разработан для телевидения с Кевином О'Доннелом, Робби Лондоном, Майком Малиани и Энди Хейвордом. Его цель - научить своих слушателей от 7 до 14 лет о происхождении Соединенных Штатов Америки. Подобно мини-сериалу CBS, основанному на ценностях; "Это Америка" Чарли Брауна несколько лет назад, «Дети Свободы» рассказывают о молодых людях в драме, окружающих крупные события в годы революционной войны. Голоса знаменитостей, такие как Уолтер Кронкайт, Сильвестр Сталлоне, Бен Стиллер, Билли Кристалл, Дастин Хоффман, Арнольд Шварценеггер и Дон-Франциско придают большое значение персонажам, критичным к формированию свободной страны от Бостонского чаепития до Конституционного собрания.
