Di-Gata Defenders [Animated TV Series] (2006)

Member Rating:

From the busy Canadian headquarters of Nelvana came this half-hour animated adventure series, which made its American bow as part of Fox's weekend-morning cartoon lineup. The series' backstory concerned the faraway world of RaDos, which since the dawn of time had been protected by a powerful energy source. The humanoids of RaDo had managed to harness this energy by creating the Di-Gata Stones, four pure rocks which, scattered throughout the planet, had formed a strong barrier between the "good" people, headed by the Wizards of Yan, from the "bad" ones, headed by the Order of Infinis. Nazmul, the evil former Wizard of Yan who ruled the Infinis, was determined to grab the stones for his own nefarious purposes. Forming a united front against Nazmul and his stooges Brackus, Flinch and Malco were the Di-Gata Defenders, the children of the original Di-Gate warriors who'd been appointed to keep RaDos safe centuries earlier. Leading the "new" Defenders was a handsome youth named Seth; his cohorts included Adam, an enigmatic part-time thief who only showed up when needed; Erik, the "techie" strategist of the bunch; Melosa, a young Wizard of Yan whose fighting skills were offset by her terrible singing; and Kara, the youngest and most eager of the Defenders, and the one most capable of absorbing the energy and power of the Di-Gata Stones. In most American markets, Di-Ga Defenders first aired on July 28, 2007. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
