Wallykazam! is an American/Canadian interactive children's animated television series created by Adam Peltzman. The series was first broadcast February 3, 2014 on Nickelodeon. In Canada, it is broadcast on Treehouse TV.[1]

Plot

The literacy series takes place in a colorful world resembling that of inside a fairytale, in which the central characters reside. The show revolves around young troll Wally Trollman, who uses his magic stick to turn words into physical objects or occurrences, along with his pet dragon Norville and other friends. The duo occasionally runs into trouble, mostly caused by Stan of the Swamp or Bobgoblin.[citation needed]

Characters

Main characters

  • Wally Trollman[2] (voiced by Thomas Langston) is an adventurous 6-year-old[3] blue troll who uses the "power of words" and his magic stick to allow words to come to life. His mother Mrs. Trollman debut in the season 1 finale "Mission for Mom".
  • Norville Trollman[2][4][5] (voiced by Dan Bittner) is a red dragon and Wally's pet (specifically his "critter"). He cannot speak clearly, his barks and yips form words but are sometimes hard to understand. In some cases Wally repeats the words Norville says, allowing the audience to hear it pronounced more clearly.
  • Gina Giant[2] (voiced by Taliyah Whitaker) is Wally's neighbor[citation needed] and one of his best[6] friends. She is a purple giant with blonde hair and turquoise eyes who has a collection of dolls. Wally magically enhanced her agility by transforming her into an acrobat,[7] and she is able to do cartwheels, front flips and a double backflip while capturing Wizard Jeff's flying fish Sheila. Afterwards on her right arm she is able to hold a 1-arm handstand for six seconds.
  • Ogre Doug (voiced by Jorge Vega) is one of Wally's good[6] friends. He is a gentle yellow ogre who has red hair and wears suspenders. He is a creature expert[citation needed] who likes studying creatures, playing with creatures, and writing songs about creatures. Also, he likes to hug, saying "Doug Hug!" as he does so.
  • Libby Light Sprite (voiced by Jenna Iacono) is an energetic pink light sprite with purple hair and the ability to trace words from light. Like Doug, she is also good[6] friends with Wally. She is later revealed to be the Buddy Pal Friend of Gina.
  • Stan of the Swamp (voiced by J.R. Horne) is a stubborn and irritable swamp monster who would rather spend his day sitting in his muddy home than going on an adventure.
  • Bobgoblin (voiced by Aria Capria) is a troublesome green goblin who talks in the third person and habitually addresses people by their full names (first and last). He sometimes pops his head out as he is leaving to repeat his name or some variation of it. This may be involuntary, as he claims "I can't help it!" when Wally tells him to stop when they are trying to hide from the Goblin Guard behind a conjured bush. He has an uncle named Robgoblin who lets him take care of his pet dragon Hortis sometimes. His buddy-pal-friend is Hattie. He is also among Wally's friends[6] and his strength was enhanced by Wally enchanting him with the word "Lift."[8]
