Plot

edit

Rolling with the Ronks! follows Flash, an alien who is sent to Earth, to the Ronk tribe in 37,520 BC[3] to show them the future. To do this, the Ronk tribe are introduced to a variety of ideas. He is friends with two members of said tribe - Mila and Walter, who accompany him to try and prove he can succeed at his goal. However – Mormagnon, along with Godzi (his pet lizard), will do anything to ruin his plans.

Characters

edit
  • Flash (voiced by Tom Kenny) is a blue alien with two eye-stalks and frog-like legs. He acts as a mentor to the Ronk tribe, showing off concepts that would be recognizable but possible to do at the time (as there is no electricity, etc.), like technology.
  • Mila (voiced by Jessica DiCicco) is a cave girl. She is tomboyish and courageous, willing to try new ideas. However, this also ends up making her take advantage of Flash's ideas, but she feels sorry for what she does.
  • Walter (voiced by Scott Whyte) is Mila's uncle. He is also well-meaning in assisting Flash, even if it means getting his niece involved. While he is large and is not very smart, he also cares about Mila.
  • Mormagnon (voiced by Charlie Adler) is the antagonist of the series. He is greedy and petty. Mormagnon wears a furry costume.
  • Mama (voiced by Cree Summer) is the chief of the tribe, happy to accept Flash's next idea. However, she calls him out whenever her tribe is at a disadvantage at times. She appears to be the oldest member, with graying hair.
  • Godzi (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker[episodes 1-12], Billy West [episodes 13-52]) is Mormagnon's pet, who resembles a frilled-neck lizard. While not as malicious as his owner, he follows along with Mormagnon's plans anyway. He can breathe fire - a trait sometimes used to the others' advantage.
