Nate Is Latenote Oscar and Malika, Always Late in the original French version. is a French/German/Australian cartoon that premiered in 2018. The brainchild is Sylvain Huchet and Peter Saisselin is produced by French studio WatchNext Media (Boy Girl Dog Cat Mouse Cheese, Best Bugs Forever) and originally aired on Nine Network in Australia, France 4 in France, and Super RTL in Germany.The premise is that the titular 8-year-old Nate and his best friend, Malika, are always trying to get to school before the bell rings. Seems easy enough to remedy, right? Not with these two; every time they even attempt to arrive early, they always end up in some outlandish adventure which forces them to arrive late and have to explain their reason to their principal for their tardiness. Though at least along the way, they learn some morals in the process.The series originally aired in 2018, but in 2022, a second season of the show debuted. A third season was announced in November 2023.The show also has an official Youtube channel that has uploaded many of the show's episodes in the show's English dub. There's likewise one for the original French language version.

Failure Is the Only Option
 Nate Is Late / int_260926c3
comment
Failure Is the Only Option: Zig-zagged. The duo will save the day in whatever situation they're in, but they'll always fail to make it before school starts a majority of the time. Though some eps do have them manage to get to school before the bell. Ironiclly the one time they actually do manage to get to school without incident (on the last day no less), a UFO abducted their Principal and they had to do an about face to try and save her, leading to the events of the episode.

Time Stands Still: Happens in "The Pocket Watch" when the duo manage to get said watch to the clock repairman. He manages to fix it but just as he goes to wind the watch, it freezes everything around save for them. The duo have to finish fixing the watch themselves and get time moving again.

The Mermaids force Nate to fight a garbage monster just because he threw some trash into their lake. And even then, it was an accident: it was blown into the lake by the wind and he was trying to retrieve it (though he did briefly intend to leave it, before a Disapproving Look from Malika intimidated him).

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 Nate Is Late / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Naturally with all the adventures the duo get into before school time, it prevents them from getting to school on time. In "The Ninja", said ninja the duo meet tries to train them to pass his master's test. However it's only a short amount of time before said test and they can't learn techniques that take years of practice in a matter of minutes. In "The Shooting Star" Malika turns to feed the bully star sunlight in order to get it to become full enough to stop pursuing the smaller one. Forgetting that when a star grows big, it burns out and can sometime turn into a black hole when it goes supernova, which unfortunately for Nate, the little star and her, is what happens. In "The Flash", Nate and Malika try to prevent Terry from taking their picture with the magic camera by hiding behind a trash can lid so it won't make a negative of them. It fails and make a negative Malika since, as her negative points out, it's a trash can lid, not a mirror.

Broken Aesop
 Nate Is Late / int_401d4116
comment
Broken Aesop: "The Mermaid" episode tries to go for a Green Aesop about protecting the environment. Good enough reasoning but yet it also seems to portray humans solely in the wrong for dumping trash in the lake when the mermaids themselves never tried to contact the humans or make an effort to clean the lake themselves. Instead simply blaming Nate (who mind you told them multiple times it was an accident and wasn't trying to dump trash in the water) and forcing him to deal with the trash monster, which, ironically, took efforts from both sides to defeat. Yet the show still went with "Humans need to clean up their mess" with Nate accepting the blame for something that wasn't even in his control while the mermaids get off scot-free from their own responsibility to their home.

And even then, it was an accident: it was blown into the lake by the wind and he was trying to retrieve it (though he did briefly intend to leave it, before a Disapproving Look from Malika intimidated him). In "Kid From The Future", the future school puts clock on every student showcasing how much hours a kid has in detention. Near everything seems to make it go up: Forgetting school uniforms, talking too loud, running in the hall, etc. In "Grandpa", an elderly witch turns Nate and Malika old simply because they bumped into her while racing (they even apologized for it).

Green Aesop: The Mermaid episode is centered around this as the mermaids of the lake are mad about people throwing trash into it. "The Tree People" is likewise though ironically it's the tree people themselves that end up causing the problem when their leader ends up taking up too much sap that it withers the tree to the point it nearly dies and gets the city to come tear it down. The duo have to convince them to give the sap back to save the tree.

Jerkass Gods: "Battle of the Gods" had to the duo come across a feuding Zeus and Posidon who were trying to see who was the strongest to rule Olympus and forcing the two to judge. Naturally they're not very pleasant, end up chasing the two when Nate tries to calm them down and end up causing major property damage during said chase. It's when it's pointed out what they're doing that they realize the error of their ways, agree to rule together and fix everything

Continuity Nod: When Nate and Malika realize Max was the culprit in "Santa's Reindeer", they remember he likewise gave them problems in "The Dragon". "The Lucky Ring" has quite a few during it's luck montage. "Battle of the Gods" had Nate once more having to float the air while being pulled by Malika on her bike (in this case, from balloons rather then hang glide from butterfly wings) which did happen in "The Carnivorous Plant". He even lampshades the fact that he's doing this stunt again.

My Beloved Smother: The Enchanted Frog episode had the witch be the mother of a very beautiful girl but wouldn't allow her any suitors, claiming they only wanted her for her beauty and nothing else. The one guy who obviously saw her more then that was turned into a toad because of this belief and, after Nate and Malika help defeat the witch, her daughter puts her foot down and tells her mother to let her decide for herself and live her own life. The mother finally relents after hearing this and realizing the two really do love each other. Albeit threatening the man if he ever mistreats her daughter.

Ninja: The subject of, of course, "The Ninja" in which a ninja tries to recruit Nate and Malika to pass off as his students so he can show his master that he's a worthy teacher. And quickly tries to teach the two so they can pass the master's sparring test with his student.

Insane Troll Logic: In "The Lucky Ring", when the duo get trapped and are set to be run over by a steamroller. They figure if the ring changes good luck to bad, then the reverse is true as well. So Nate willingly throws himself in front of a steamroller in the hope it works. Which indeed it does and redirects the steamroller toward the ring, finally destroying it.

Shout-Out
 Nate Is Late / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: In "The Insects", Nate, Malika and said insects are running from Toybus's pet iguana, George. They run for a sprinkler in hopes of activating it and knocking George back. Roach ends up getting caught by George's tongue and tries to hold on to the edge of the facet. As everyone looks on in shock, he tells them to "Run, you fools!" ''The Enchanted Frog": When the witch's daughter goes to distract her mother so Nate, Malika and her frog transformed boyfriend can get into the house. She calls she needs help with her hair due to it being "tangled again". In "The Cyborgs", after Malika's jam fall on a computer console making cyborg duplicates of Nate... "The Robot" has one to Dragon Ball Z when Toybus tries to stop his creation from overloading himself. In "The Superhero", Miracle Girl's design is very similar to Tracer's. "The Video Game": "Pipe Runner" is obviously based on Super Mario Bros.. There's even a sly nod in that the villain is a toad. What's more the game console Nate plays it on is a Game Boy and the music that plays from it is surprisingly similar to Super Mario Land. Heck, they even use the "Yoshi Trick", where one hops off another to get to somewhere higher (in this case Malika on Nate, a willing case though) to beat the game. "The Tree People" has some to Star Wars with the elderly tree sprite being Yoda in a sense, Nate carrying her just as Luke had did to Yoda in The Empire Strikes Back. "The Lucky Ring" : A cursed ring that brings bad luck to it's user? Hmm where've we heard that before? Heck the ring even glows when Nate and later, Malika grab it and the two having a bewitched look about them when it does. So much so, Nate has to snap the latter out of it when she gets a hold of it. In "The Caveman", the cave girl's design looks strikingly similar to Amethyst. In "The Concert", Nate gets hit with a voice sampler that changes his voice into that of a trombone. In the climax of The Invaders Part 2, the alien invaders come to Earth through a portal in the sky that the heroes must close very similar to the climax of The Avengers (2012), while Nate and Malika's allies arrive on the battlefield through portals identical to the climax of Avengers: Endgame.

Letting Her Hair Down: In all episodes, Malika typically wears her hair tied up in a ponytail. However, in "The Faun", after being bewitched into a party animal, she lets her hair down to show this shift in her personality.

Cassandra Truth: Every time the duo finally arrive at the school. They have to explain themselves to their principal. Naturally when they tell the truth, she has a hard time believing them. Sometimes they can offer proof if it's reasonable enough (such as someone coming with them and vouching for them or having an object on hand) but other times she just rolls her eyes, chastises them, possibly punish them with an after-school chore and lets them through.

Sure enough this does happen to him, but luckily Malika had some money on her to revive Shawn and allow the three to finish their objective.

Everyone Hates Math: In "Kid From The Future", kids in future school are punished by being given math questions constantly by the robots monitoring the school. Even worse in detention where they put them on exercise bikes and go faster with every wrong question. In "The Dream", Nate's nightmare is haunted by creatures made up of multiplication problems.

Mama Bear: The mother dragon in "The Dragon" episode. Not at all happy when an animal catcher named Max threatens her young. Naturally when it gets free thanks to Nate and Malika, it doesn't take long to unleash Max's way. The witch in "Enchanted Frog". Despite being My Beloved Smother, she just does it out of worry for her daughter and gives a fair warning to her boyfriend not to mistreat her when she finally relents to let them be together.

Fantasy Kitchen Sink: with also some Sci-Fi Kitchen Sink thrown in for good measure, as there is seemingly no limit to the kind of creatures Nate and Malika encounter; genies, gods, robots, aliens, wizards, leprechauns, witches & wizards, time travelers, mermaids, vampires, unicorns, you name it and chances are the protagonists have encountered them at least once.

Quirky Town: The town Nate and Malika reside in is just utterly nuts. Among other things it had a Roman coliseum under it, a haunted house, the sewer has goblins living in it, a candy store is run by gnomes, the lake is home to mermaids, no less then three witches have appeared in the show, a giant oddly leaves there, etc and that's not even counting all the stuff that passed by the town (dragons, monsters, shooting stars, Santa). Yet oddly Nate and Malika are the only ones who keep encountering this stuff.

Easily Forgiven: The duo usually aren't one to hold grudges to those that cause them trouble if they're sympathetic enough and will forgive before helping then. For example: The mermaids despite them forcing Nate to fight a monster, the genie despite him trying to trap Nate in his lamp, the envious portrait despite her trying to ruin another for a petty reason and a faun despite him bewitching Malika to constantly party just to keep up the entertainment for a party he was hosting.

Our Werewolves Are Different: "The Werewolf" features one that can change without needing a full moon just by the scent of food. Though the transformations can be contained by a special necklace. She can still pass on her lycanthropy by a bite or scratch, but that can be cured with medicinal plants and a werewolf's saliva.

One-Winged Angel: The "Adorable Monster" the duo befriends at first doesn't seem to be much scarier then his normal form will permit. But when the owner of the dark house ride / final monster exam threatens the duo, he morphs into a much bigger and more intimidating form to get her to back off. Ironically in doing this, this allows him to pass the exam and receive his diploma. In "The Faun", said faun turns into more monstrous form when Nate and Malika refuse to continue helping him.
