In a world where grown-ups rule and where big kids and even big dogs get more respect than lil kids, who is there to look out for the lil guy?
Who can save lil kids from big problems like an exploding bubble gum bubble, or a runaway super-ball, or a bathing suit gone missing in the deep end of the pool?
Who can help navigate the tricky ins-and-outs of grown-up rules about eating liver, minding manners, and finishing what you started?
Captain Flamingo! That's who!
Armed with his backpack of powerful joke store novelty items, Milo Powell – lil kid turned superhero saves the day every time with a little help from his best pal, anonymous sidekick, and not-so-secret admirer, Lizbeth.
Are you little? Do you have a big problem? Have no fear. Just call out, 'Uh-oh, Flamingo!' and the Good Captain will soon be there to save the day in a way you'll never expect.
Captain Flamingo. Looking out for kids in a big way!
MILO POWELL
Milo is an energetic and driven little boy with the kind of imagination and faith in the world to want to become a superhero. He stands proudly in pink tights and an otherwise ridiculous flamingo beak. With Milo, things rarely turn out as planned, but somehow they do always manage to turn out. He carries a heavy heroic burden because little kids everywhere rely on him to get them out of trouble. So as he approaches these little kid problems, he does so with utmost seriousness, as if the fate of the world depended on it (and who knows? Maybe it does!).
LIZABETH ZARAGOZA
Lizbeth is focused and organized but darn it, just a pile of emotions when it comes to that little square shaped boy, Milo. Lizbeth is strong and smart but a bit of a loner because of it. Her best friend, besides Milo, is her monocled stuffed elephant confidante, Chester. Secure in the knowledge that girls mature faster than boys, she's sure Milo will catch up to her one day, and she's willing to guide him along and wait for that day to come.
MILO'S MUM
A little nasally and chirpy, Mom has her own life as an ornithologist. She loves her boys, but adult schedules and family events come before little kid desires. She's very huggy and supportive, but also extremely practical and firm. If she's said 'no' twice, Milo knows asking a third time would be foolhardy.
MILO'S DAD
Deadpan, monotone and humourless, Dad runs a humour and novelty store. With a voice that borders on deep-funereal, Dad is still somehow a warm guy, despite his overall stiffness.
THOR
Thor is Milo's diaper clad baby brother. Thor likes to crawl after Milo and ride his cape. And he likes to slobber on Milo's tights. As Thor's primary babysitter, Milo often has to juggle his little brother and his work sometimes literally.
MAX
Max is the tiniest little kid you ever saw. He's itty! He's bitty! He's teensyweensy! His voice is impossibly tiny. Also Max has a speech impediment where his r's turn into w's, and he often adds w's to his l's. Therefore, 'really' becomes 'reawwy' and 'small' becomes 'smawl.' He's innocent and kinda sweet and very, very impressed by 'Captain Fwamingo'.
RUTGER
Rutger is the kid who bites off more than he can chew. He's excitable, kind of like a puppy, and has no lack of confidence. But with his maverick attitude, he's always getting himself into trouble by taking stuff on before he's ready or big enough to do it. If he had a catchphrase, it'd be 'how hard can it be?'
OWEN ONLY
An over-protected only kid, he's been padded, helmeted and parentally locked out of most of the thrills of being a kid. And pop culturally, he's waaaaaaayyyyy behind. This is a kid who's never tasted junk food or felt the wind in his hair on his scooter or told a joke where the punch line was 'poo.' So you have to forgive him for not getting stuff or stating the obvious to the point of being really annoying sometimes. Given what he's up against, you gotta love the guy.
THE AVALANCHE KID
Avi 'The Avalanche Kid' - has a real knack for disaster. Is it a bad moon that hangs over his head or just too-long bangs that hang in his eyes? Whatever the cause, Avi is seriously dexterously-challenged. All it takes from him is one 'uh-oh' move to start off an inevitable chain of building disasters. Captain Flamingo doesn't mind cleaning up his messes, usually, but sometimes he wishes Avi would plan and call ahead, because, let's face it - if he's going with his mom to the china shop on Monday, Milo really should book the week off.
WENDELL
Milo's cousin and nemesis, he and Milo are always competing against each other. Wendell often loves to point out how much better he is than Milo at everything; due mostly to the fact that he is, as he relishes pointing out, an eighth of an inch taller than Milo. A bit of a geek, Wendell always looks at the mathematical and/or scientific ways of gaining an advantage over Milo. Later invents his own superheroic alter ego, Commander Whooping Crane!
TABITHA
Tabitha is Milo's over scheduled, over stressed, over achieving neighbour. A tiny CEO in the making, Tabitha's many playdates, lessons and various 'opportunities for growth' keep her busy, frazzled and close to implosion. Her bright red kinky hair is a simple indicator of her stress-level. The more stressed she is, the wilder it gets - much to her dismay. Has a brother who loves drums, and a toddler brother into streaking!
KIRSTEN
Kirsten - is a sweet little girl who really believes in Captain Flamingo and is even doing a project on him for school. Whenever she gets near Milo she peppers him with fan questions, always proceeded by, 'I was just wondering'
