About “Moral Orel” in a few words:

“Moral Orel” is an American stop-motion animated television series that satirically explores the life of Orel Puppington, a young boy living in the fictional town of Moralton. The series humorously delves into the complexities of religious extremism, family dynamics, and personal morality, often presenting them in a dark yet insightful manner.

Meet the characters from Moral Orel

Orel Puppington

Orel is the kid you can’t help but root for — earnest, baffled by adult weirdness, and fiercely committed to doing “the right thing” even when he totally misunderstands what that means. He’s sugar-sweet naive but also weirdly stubborn, like a tiny moral scientist running experiments with his heart, and sometimes he lectures adults like he’s the adult. He collects little trophies of sincerity (rocks? paperclips? I swear he has a shoebox of something) and believes every sermon 100% until the next catastrophe proves him wrong. He’s hopeful, a little prone to melodrama, and somehow both adorably brave and spectacularly gullible.

Coach Stopframe

Coach Stopframe is the kind of gym teacher who screams encouragement like it’s a survival skill — loud, overly confident, and suspiciously fond of whistle solos. He plays the tough guy but then will cry at a motivational poster or secretly practice his jump shot in the garage at midnight, so, human? surprisingly. He’s full of coach clichés, wears a headband like it’s a personality trait, and has an odd hobby I’m almost sure is knitting or collecting novelty stopwatches (don’t ask). Expect bluster, a lot of pep talk energy, and the occasional unexpected tenderness that ruins his macho act.

Clay Puppington

Clay is quietly tragic and oddly comforting, like a worn armchair that creaks when you sit but still holds you; he’s the dad who means well but can’t always show it. He drinks, he mumbles, he fixes the lawnmower at 2 a.m., and yet when he smiles at Orel there’s a real, painful softness that comes through — so messy and real. He’s a handyman with a stash of half-finished projects and a surprising talent for humming show tunes while he’s depressed, which is both funny and sad and makes you want to give him a sandwich. Sometimes he’s distant and sometimes he’s the warmest person in the room; memory’s fuzzy on which days are which, but both are true.

Bloberta Puppington

Bloberta is loud, fashionable in her own household-goods way, and extremely committed to appearances — like if Martha Stewart and a mall clerk had a baby who loved sanctimony. She judges, she gossips, she insists on the right china for the wrong reasons, and yet she has this soft corner for strays (cats? ideas?) that pops up when you least expect it. She shops like it’s a religion but then lectures you about sin like she’s the town crier for virtue, which is delightfully hypocritical and also kind of tragic. She probably owns a wall of decorative spatulas and definitely tells you what you did wrong with a smile.

Reverend Putty

Reverend Putty is the town’s moral megaphone — pulpit-powerful, sanctimonious, and whispering-sweet about doctrine while sweating over his own tiny secret anxieties. He preaches certainty the way some people breathe, but behind the collar there’s a jittery, human core that reads self-help books at 3 a.m. and maybe keeps a hidden jar of candy for comfort. He’s supposed to be the moral compass — and yet he’s awkwardly flawed, occasionally cruel in an overly sanctified way, and maddeningly sincere about being sincere. He collects hymnals, misplaces his spectacles, and will absolutely correct your grammar during communion with a smile.
