So goes the ExpositoryThemeTune of this Irish-Canadian co-production by Creator/CartoonSaloon and Creator/WildBrain created by Fabian Erlinghäuser. Dorg Van Dango is a thirteen-year-old boy who lives in the relatively quiet town of Normill. One day, his world is turned upside down by the arrival of four supernatural beings - {{unicorn}} Jet Lazor, [[BlobMonster amorphous alien]] RD, BedsheetGhost Yooki and [[IneptMage inept witch]] Patronella - who have escaped from the government facility Area 52. Dorg immediately accepts them as his friends, dubbing them The Magicals and disguising them to blend in amongst humans, while also finding a secret hangout place under the mall for them to stay and him to meet them when no one's looking. And so, Dorg and his pals navigate all sorts of challenges, whether it be the Magicals trying to help Dorg solve his everyday problems or Dorg having to deal with the risk of his new buddies being exposed by mall owner Munch, as well as Dorg's own doting mother Fretta and annoying little sister Voulez.
The show debuted in Ireland on Creator/{{RTE}} in 2020, making its way to Creator/FamilyChannel (owned by Creator/{{WildBrain}}) in Canada and Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} everywhere else.

Dorg Van Dango - a normal kid in a normal town, until four magical beings ESCAPED from a top secret compound and CRASHED into his life! Disguising them as regular kids, Dorg's world is about to become '''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis WAY! MORE! MAGICAL!]]'''
So goes the ExpositoryThemeTune of this Irish-Canadian co-production by Creator/CartoonSaloon (yes, [[WesternAnimation/TheSecretOfKells that]] [[WesternAnimation/SongOfTheSea Cartoon]] [[WesternAnimation/TheBreadwinner Saloon]]) and Creator/WildBrain. Dorg Van Dango is a thirteen-year-old boy who lives in the relatively quiet town of Normill.

The show debuted in Ireland on Creator/{{RTE}} in 2020, making its way to Creator/FamilyChannel (owned by WildBrain) in Canada and Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} everywhere else.
!!The series shows examples of the following tropes:
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Fretta has a noticeably darker complexion than either of her two children.
* BalefulPolymorph: Dorg is accidentally turned into a [[AnimateInanimateObject golf ball]] by Patronella in an attempt to make him a better golfer in the episode "Dorg Plays Mini Golf".
* BerserkButton: Whatever you do, '''DON'T''' look under Yooki's sheet. Also, don't remind Jet he's the LastOfHisKind though he's more likely to cry than get angry if you do so.
* BlindWithoutEm: The first episode (aptly titled "Dorg Needs New Glasses") shows how reliant Dorg is on his glasses - and only his glasses.
* DisappearedDad: Dorg and Voulez's father is never seen and it's not explained what happened to him either.
* TheDitz: RD's not the brightest of the Magicals.
* ExpositoryThemeTune: See above.
* ExpressiveMask: Dorg's glasses are somewhat like this as his eyebrows can be shown overlapping them when he's displaying certain emotions.
* GirlishPigtails: Yooki's disguise has these.
* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Every episode title starts with "Dorg".
* KidFromTheFuture: In "Dorg Wants a Rewind", after overshooting with the time potion, Dorg ends up thirteen years in the past. He meets his own pregnant mother and seems to be unwittingly responsible for his own name simply by introducing himself.

* LimitedWardrobe
* PunnyName: Jet Lazor and the town of Normill itself.
* Really700YearsOld: Patronella is 400 years old [[AllThereInTheManual as described in official media]] but doesn't look it. Similarly, the youthful-looking Yooki (who has been described as the youngest Magical in official media) reveals she is 214 years old after [[ItMakesSenseInContext possessing a pickle]] in "Dorg's in a Pickle".
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Yooki does this when she's angry or in the process of scaring someone.
* {{Shapeshifting}}: RD is capable of this. He can either [[VoluntaryShapeshifter do it himself]] or do it after being stretched by the other characters. The intro shows the latter example.
* SkintoneSclerae: Dorg is the only character to have these, being revealed when he's not wearing glasses, thus an example of the trope of nearsighted cartoon characters being depicted this way.
* SupernaturalIsPurple: Patronella's spells produce purple smoke.
* SwissArmyTears: Taken UpToEleven with Jet as ''every substance his body produces'' has magical qualities. As a RunningGag, Patronella uses them as ingredients in her spells much to his annoyance.
* ThemeTuneRollCall: The intro features the instrumental variant of this trope after the ExpositoryThemeTune.
* WeirdnessCensor: Though RD and Patronella arguably pass well for humans when disguised, bystanders don't seem to notice that Jet and Yooki are a unicorn and a ghost respectively.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Fretta has a noticeably darker complexion than either of her two children.
* BalefulPolymorph: Dorg is accidentally turned into a [[AnimateInanimateObject golf ball]] by Patronella in an attempt to make him a better golfer in the episode "Dorg Plays Mini Golf".
* BerserkButton: Whatever you do, '''DON'T''' look under Yooki's sheet. Also, don't remind Jet he's the LastOfHisKind though he's more likely to cry than get angry if you do so.
* BlindWithoutEm: The first episode (aptly titled "Dorg Needs New Glasses") shows how reliant Dorg is on his glasses - and only his glasses.
* DisappearedDad: Dorg and Voulez's father is never seen and it's not explained what happened to him either.
* TheDitz: RD's not the brightest of the Magicals.
* ExpositoryThemeTune: See above.
* ExpressiveMask: Dorg's glasses are somewhat like this as his eyebrows can be shown overlapping them when he's displaying certain emotions.
* GirlishPigtails: Yooki's disguise has these.
* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Every episode title starts with "Dorg".
* KidFromTheFuture: In "Dorg Wants a Rewind", after overshooting with the time potion, Dorg ends up thirteen years in the past. He meets his own pregnant mother and seems to be unwittingly responsible for his own name simply by introducing himself.
--> '''Fretta:''' Dorg... now that's an interesting name for a baby.
* KiddieKid: Dorg has shades of this.
* LimitedWardrobe
* PunnyName: Jet Lazor and the town of Normill itself.
* Really700YearsOld: Patronella is 400 years old [[AllThereInTheManual as described in official media]] but doesn't look it. Similarly, the youthful-looking Yooki (who has been described as the youngest Magical in official media) reveals she is 214 years old after [[ItMakesSenseInContext possessing a pickle]] in "Dorg's in a Pickle".
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Yooki does this when she's angry or in the process of scaring someone.
* {{Shapeshifting}}: RD is capable of this. He can either [[VoluntaryShapeshifter do it himself]] or do it after being stretched by the other characters. The intro shows the latter example.
* SkintoneSclerae: Dorg is the only character to have these, being revealed when he's not wearing glasses, thus an example of the trope of nearsighted cartoon characters being depicted this way.
* SupernaturalIsPurple: Patronella's spells produce purple smoke.
* SwissArmyTears: Taken UpToEleven with Jet as ''every substance his body produces'' has magical qualities. As a RunningGag, Patronella uses them as ingredients in her spells much to his annoyance.
* ThemeTuneRollCall: The intro features the instrumental variant of this trope after the ExpositoryThemeTune.
* WeirdnessCensor: Though RD and Patronella arguably pass well for humans when disguised, bystanders don't seem to notice that Jet and Yooki are a unicorn and a ghost respectively.
* [[WhereTheHellIsSpringfield Where the Hell is Normill?]]: It's most likely North American, given that this show was co-produced in Canada and one of the mall stores is a 98¢ store.
* WitchClassic: Patronella's undisguised outfit.
* [[WhoNamesTheirKidDude Who Names Their Kid "Dorg"?]]
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Or purple in Patronella's case.
