Plot
The show follows the adventures of Dorg, a normal kid, living in the very normal town of Normill. That is, until he meets the Magicals; Jet Lazor, the super-cool unicorn; Patronella, an ancient witch; RD, a curious alien; and Yooki, an eerie ghost. They all escaped from Area 52 and are in desperate need of help and refuge.
To have them blend in with the citizens of Normill, Dorg disguises them as teenagers and hides them in the basement in the local shopping mall. With his new best friends attempting to help navigate life's challenges, Dorg's world just got a whole lot less normal and a lot more fun!
Characters
Main characters
- Dorg (voiced by Chance Hurstfield) - the main character, a 13-year-old boy.[1] He often serves as the voice of reason when problems arise among the Magicals.
- Jet Lazor (voiced by Deven Mack) - a super-cool unicorn who is the last of his species. He's rather smug and often comes across as self-centered.
- Patronella (voiced by Tabitha St. Germain) - an ancient witch. She speaks broken English with a foreign accent. Her way of solving problems involves using magical spells.
- RD (voiced by Andrew McNee) - a curious blob-like alien. He is capable of shapeshifting, as well as storing vast amounts of objects within his body. He is somewhat dimwitted and goofy, with quite the appetite as well.
- Yooki (voiced by Kazumi Evans) - an eerie ghost. Though she seems polite at first and is cheerful, she can quickly become very frightening.
Recurring characters
- Mr. Munch (voiced by Michael Dobson) - a mall security.
- Fretta (voiced by Briana Buckmaster) - Dorg's mother and the owner of a 98-cent store at the mall.
- Voulez (voiced by Gracyn Shinyei) - Dorg's little sister.
- Smarmin Smarts (voiced by Ian Hanlin) - A mean kid who works at the comic book shop and bullies Dorg.
