Rolling with the Ronks! (French: Bienvenue chez les Ronks !) is a cartoon co-created by Olivier-Jean Marie and Charles Vaucelle, and produced by Xilam (for Space Goofs, Shuriken School and Oggy and the Cockroaches fame). It focuses on a sensitive alien named Flash, who is sent to the Ronk tribe on Earth to introduce them to various technology—but Darwin's ancestors don't seem ready to go to such a radical (re-)evolution. There, he befriends (and lives with) a cave girl named Mila and her uncle, Walter. Other notable characters include the chief of the Ronk tribe Mama, and the Big Bad Mormagnon, with his pet lizard Godzi.
Rolling with the Ronks! provides examples of:
- Anachronism Stew: Justified, as Flash is trying to shock the Ronk tribe to the future.
- Aliens Speaking English
- All Cavemen Were Neanderthals
- Ambiguously Human: Mormagnon without his costume.
- Ambiguously Brown: Some of the characters.
- Beauty, Brains, and Brawn: Mila (beauty), Flash (brains) and Walter (brawn).
- Big Eater: Mormagnon is this, to the point of greed.
- One episode has Mormagnon eating a lot of food, including rotten ones.
- Balloon Belly: Though Downplayed, one episode has Mormagnon eating many food (as said above).
- Cartoon Creature: Just what the crud is Mormagnon meant to be? (at least, in his costume.)
- Deranged Animation: Downplayed, though it makes sense as Xilam also produced Oggy and the Cockroaches, Space Goofs, Zig & Sharko and Ratz, notable for having their own crazy animation.
- Excited Show Title!
- Eye on a Stalk: Flash has two of these.
- Expy: If you've watched Space Goofs before, then it's likely that you'll notice Mormagnon does look sort of look like Etno (albeit with Candy's voice).
- Extreme Omnivore: Downplayed in one episode, as Mormagnon eats rotten food.
- Fiery Salamander: Godzi.
- Gonk: Downplayed with some characters.
- Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Walter is the Huge Guy to Mila's Tiny Girl. This also applies to few other characters.
- Large Ham: Mormagnon, when he tells his made-up, believable stories to the Ronks.
- Jerkass: Mormagnon, big time.
- Tertiary Sexual Characteristics: Flash and Mormagnon are blue. Subverted with Mila and Mama, who are still identifiable as females with the lack of visible eyelashes.
- Thin-Line Animation: Uses the colored outlines variant.
