Moville Mysteries



""Here is where it gets weird.""

- Mo in the intro of every chapter

Moville Mysteries is a Canadian animated TV series starring Frankie Muniz as the main character, Moville. The show is on YTV in Canada and Jetix in Latin America. It was originally an ''Oh Yeah! Cartoon'' on Nickelodeon, making it the only short to not be adapted into a series by Nickelodeon.

The series was about the short guy Mosley Moville, better known just as Mo, and his friends Hitch and Mimi living a normal and peaceful life in Ouigee Falls, if your definition of normal and peaceful includes chilling mysteries every day — including weekends — and ...well, I think that now you have the idea.

Moville Mysteries provides examples of:

 * Absentee Actor: Hitch and Mimi don't appear in the episodes where Mo just appears as a narrator to isolated incidents that happened with other citizens of Ouigee Falls.
 * Abusive Parents: The coach's dad was a total jerk.
 * Agent Mulder: B.B. Boon. Mo is like this as well, though he is more normal and common-sensed than Boon.
 * All Animals Are Dogs: In "Goo On You" with that blot-like green slime.
 * All Just a Dream: The episode "The Good Old Days" and "The Tell Tale Recliner".
 * Well, both finals were Or Was It a Dream?.
 * All Myths Are True: And you are only starting.
 * Almighty Janitor: Mr. Cistern was some kind of former Indiana Jones in his ol' good days.
 * It counts too as a case of Retired Badass since he left that life after his possesed foot kicked The Queen of England.
 * Amazing Technicolor Population: Even the main character was part of this one.
 * Badass Family: Mo has a ancestor that was witch hunter and his gramdma makes her tea with roots of the cemetary and Mo himself fight monster or ghost every week, tell me that isn't badass?!
 * Beware the Nice Ones: Matilda and probably the old lady of the garden gnomes.
 * Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: In the episode "So You Sell Your Soul for... What?",
 * The Chosen Mo: In "Follow That Mo"
 * Cool Old Guy: Mr. Cistern
 * Cool Old Lady: Mo's grandma is kinda interesting for an old lady.
 * Crazy Jealous Guy: The viking boyfriend of Hitch's guardian angel in episode 15.
 * A Day in the Limelight: Pretty much a lot of episodes were about mostly other people than Mo, Hitch and Mimi, showing sometimes Mo at the end only to probably exchange some words with the character.
 * Deadpan Snarker: Mimi.
 * Deal with the Devil: The main plot of the episode "So You Sold Your Soul For ... What?", with a small reference to the urban legend that famous blues guitarrist Robert Johnson had sold his soul to the Devil in exchange to become talented.
 * Eldritch Abomination: Boon accidentally summons one in episode 21.
 * Evil Chef: Boon thought in this in "How Green Was My Lunch Meat" with a lot of Conspiracy Kitchen Sink
 * Expy: B.B. Boon seems like a less psychotic (but still highly paranoid) version of Dib from Invader Zim.
 * The Fair Folk: The last episodes of the series featured a group of mean-spirited gnomes who schemed to turn all the humans in statues and a selfish leprechaun who tried to rid off of Mo and his friends from finding his gold.
 * Freaky Friday Flip: In "Curse Of The Mommies" not directly body swap, but the moms act exactly like their daughters.
 * Don't forget all the modern fashion that the moms were wearing.
 * Free-Range Children: Mo and his friends. (always ending up at the cemetery is not normal for kids of their ages)
 * Freudian Trio:
 * Mo: idealistic, curious to the point to put himself in danger (Superego)
 * Mimi: rational, the most common-sensed of the group (Ego)
 * Hitch: impulsive, adventure lover, naive (Id)
 * Friendly Neighborhood Vampire:
 * Not so friendly with the pizza guy.
 * Future Badass:
 * Headless Horseman: Episode 7 features Pumpkin Reaper, an urban legend that seemed to exist in Ouigee Falls when Mo's grandmother was younger. Mo comes face to face with the monster itself when he experiences a weird time travel phenomenon.
 * Jerk Jock: Averted, Rico was maybe the best at sport in the entire city, but the guy was maybe the nicest boy too!
