== Characters ==
Protagonists
Beck Granger (Daryl Sabara)-The main character. After losing his parents at a young age, he was raised by his uncle, Sir Alan Granger. Years of travelling around the world with his parents have honed his survival skills and he often ends up in life-threatening situations.
Alan Granger (Patrick Stewart)-Beck's uncle, originally born in London, England. He is trained in zoology, anthropology and survival.
David and Mel Granger (voiced respectively by Michael Madsen and Christina Hendricks)-Beck's parents who died when he was young.
Peter Samson (Will Friedle)-Beck's childhood friend. He knows little to nothing about survival, often preferring the comforts of the modern world.
Bryony Harrison (Tara Strong)-Beck's childhood friend. Raised in the back country of Wyoming, she has knowledge of survival passed down from her maternal grandfather who is a Cheyenne shaman.
