Premise
Every morning, Nate and Malika go to school but get sidetracked on adventures that make them late. When they finally arrive at school, Principal Prudence never believes their stories.
Characters
- Nate (Oscar in French, Mats in German; voiced by Jane U'Brien) – an elementary school-aged boy who is enthusiastic about going on adventures.
- Malika (voiced by Sarah Aubrey) – an elementary school-aged girl who is Nate's best friend. Malika acts as the calmer and grounded of the duo, although is prone to making silly decisions as Nate.
- Principal Prudence (voiced by Aubrey) – the principal of Nate and Malika's school who almost always asks Nate and Malika their excuse for being late.
In addition to the three main characters, other characters are introduced in most episodes as Nate and Malika embark on their journeys.
