Galidor: Defenders of the Outer Dimension, sometimes shortened as Galidor, is a 2002 Canadian/American television series that ran on YTV in Canada and Fox Kids in the United States in 2002 with a total of 26 half-hour episodes. The series was created by Thomas W. Lynch, the creator of The Secret World of Alex Mack and The Journey of Allen Strange. It was the final series to launch on Fox Kids, as the block folded only 7 months after its debut.
A licensed Galidor-themed Lego toy line of the same name was produced by the Lego Group in 2002, but considered a commercial failure, due to bad design choices and no compatibility with other Lego themes. A video game adaption of the toy line was developed for Game Boy Advance by Tiertex Design Studios and published by Lego Interactive and Electronic Arts in 2002. A PC and console adaption of the Game Boy Advance game was developed by Asylum Entertainment for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 2, and GameCube, published by Lego Interactive and Electronic Arts in 2003.
The show is centered upon Nick Bluetooth, a 15-year-old boy led (with his friend Allegra Zane) by an extraterrestrial map to a spacecraft nicknamed the Egg, which moves them into an "Outer Dimension" threatened by Gorm. They are now there to protect the story's eponymous dimension.
The Egg, or TDNM (the Trans-Dimensional Navigation Module), is a blue egg-shaped vehicle, capable of flight, posed on four legs resembling those of Jens. It appears small but comprises several stories, whereof four are seen:
Nicholas and Allegra both mention lockers and a Sandwich Simulator, noted for malfunctions. The Egg also contains artificial intelligence. CGI seat belts were designed for the Egg's chairs, but were never used in the series.
