Gormiti Nature Unleashed
Gormiti (2018)

Gormiti (Italian: Gormiti, che miti or Gormiti - Il ritorno dei Signori della Natura) is an animated series co-produced by Giochi Preziosi Group and Marathon Media, based on the Italian Gormiti toy line. It consisted of three seasons with 65 episodes. The first season, titled Gormiti: The Lords of Nature Return!, premiered on October 27, 2008. The second season, Gormiti: The Supreme Eclipse Era! debuted on October 29, 2009, while the third season, Gormiti: The Neorganic Evolution, aired on October 30, 2010.

It was broadcast for the first time on Italia 1 and Canal J from 27 October 2008. It aired on October 5, 2009 on Cartoon Network in the United States, and on CITV and Nicktoons in the United Kingdom.[1] The second season returned to the USA and Canada in Summer 2012.[citation needed]

The series had high ratings worldwide and received positive reviews.[2] A new CGI series, titled Gormiti Nature Unleashed, began airing in Italy in 2012, followed by a third series in 2018.[3]

Plot

The show follows two brothers, Nick and Toby, who discover that they have the power to transform into powerful creatures known as Gormitis. Their two friends Jessica and Lucas join the fight, and together they harness the power of the four elements. Now it is up to them to save their world, and many others, from destruction.[2]

Characters

Toby Tripp

Nick's older brother and somewhat lazy. The lead protagonist and a popular character, a 13-year-old boy with blond hair, fair skin, and blue eyes. He would rather "go Gormiti" than stay as a Keeper in the Primal Pad. He can become the Lord of Water and can control water from rivers and seas and can breathe underwater.but he still has a sense of humor In "Curse of the Crown", Toby is revealed to have arachnophobia, and in "Going Buggy", he is forced to face his fear head on to save his friends, allowing him in the end to conquer his fear of spiders (although he still gets startled by them). He loves playing football and playing tricks on his friends. Favorite attack: "Aqua Blast". Voiced by Paolo De Santis (Italian), Sam Riegel (English), Emmanuel Garijo (French).

Nick Tripp

The co-protagonist of the series, a 12-year-old boy with brown hair, fair skin, brown eyes, wearing glasses and naturally is the nerd of the team. A counter to Toby, he is tidy by nature, worries about his studies and likes to observe proper manners and protocols on Earth and in Gorm. Can become disappointed when he can't be the Keeper in the Primal Pad (and guide his friends through the Gorm world), since he's the one who studies up on it the most. He is Toby's younger brother. Often at odds with Toby, differences are usually reconciled by the end of each episode. He is the Lord of the Earth, so he can control the rocks and stones. Favorite attack: "Seismic Smash". Voiced by Massimo Di Benedetto (Italian), Brian Beacock (English), Hervé Grull (French).

Lucas Wanson

A 11-year-old boy with brown hair, brown skin and green eyes that is a great lover of nature. He loves gardening school. He is the Lord of the Forest and can control the trees and plants. He has a disproportionate obsession with the environment and loves flowers, trees and birds. He is oblivious of Gina's feelings for him. Favorite attack: "Jungle Attack". Voiced by Federico Zanandrea (Italian), Ogie Banks (English), and Alexandre Nguyen (French).

Jessica Herleins

The only 12-year-old girl in the group. Also blonde, fair skinned, and blue-eyed. She is optimistic and never afraid to face the Gormiti. Toby gets her mad sometimes. Along with Gina, who is her best friend, she sometimes can show a strong interest in shopping, saying for instance that "you can never have enough shoes". Physically, she can show sporty abilities even when she is not transformed, scoring higher than Toby in judo for example. She is the Ruler of the Air, so she can fly and control the winds. Although often engaged in fashion-related occurrences, she is always there for her friends and above all else when there are problems, does not hesitate to risk her life to save them. Favorite attack: "Wind Attack". Voiced by Patrizia Mottola (Italian), Marcella Silvestri (Italian), Melissa Fahn (English, episodes 1-26), Kate Higgins (English, episodes 27-65), Laura Bailey (English, episode 53), and Delphine Braillon (French).

Razzle

He is a small, sarcastic talking dinosaur entrusted by the Old Sage with the task of finding the Lords of Nature. He lives in the Primal Pad, and acts as the kids' guide and a link between Earth and Gorm. When there is trouble in Gorm, he goes to find the Lords of Nature and always risks being seen. He startles the Lords of Nature when he appears (and usually gets startled himself by their initial shock). He has a habit of running off when there is danger. Voiced by Graziano Galoforo (Italian), Brian Beacock (English), and Christophe Lemoine (French).

Paula Pickney

A girl who appeared in a few episodes in the first season (she also made a cameo on the first episode of the third season), she always tries to catch Toby, Lucas, Nick and Jessica. She thought they were aliens (it was actually a joke that the boys had spread to get rid of her). In the episode "Slip Rift" (in which she has more importance), a giant whirlwind carries Paula to Gorm, and finds out that Toby, Lucas, Nick and Jessica were the Lords of Nature and Razzle is a talking lizard. She did test shots with her camera and then showed them to her brother Ike, but, unfortunately for her, the photos had been deleted by Razzle, and in the end she was unable to catch them. Voiced by Colleen O'Shaughnessey (English) and Laura Préjean (French).

Ike Pickney

A classmate of Nick and Archaeology Club Component is always cracking jokes in bad taste and hates Toby for unknown reasons and usually tends to be his bodyguard. He is the older brother of Paula. He also appears only in the first season. Voiced by Wally Wingert (English) and Tony Marot (French).

Gina Louren

She is the best friend of Jessica. Like Ike and Paula, she mostly appears in the first season. She is also obsessed with fashion, like Jessica, and is always there when needed. She is in love with Lucas and has no problems showing it and is also the football team's mascot for the soccer team Toby and Nick are on. Voiced by Tara Platt (English) and Sylvie Jacob (French).
