A Soft Landing for Young Minds

Miimou is a preschool animated series built for today’s young viewer—calm, curious, and emotionally intelligent.

The Protagonist

Miimou

Miimou

The Curious Explorer

Miimou is the audience: eager, non-verbal, and full of wonder. A soft, spherical toddler-creature who communicates through giggles, coos, and expressive bounces.

  • The Want: To touch, hold, and understand everything.
  • Kid Entry Point: Miimou is "new here" just like them. They learn together.
  • Evolution: Learns patience and vocabulary (one word at a time).

The Mentor

Bow

Bow

The Gentle Guide

Part fairy-godmother, part narrator. Bow bridges the gap between Miimou and the viewer. Bow never solves the problem for Miimou, but asks the right questions.

  • Role: Narration & Emotional regulation.
  • Dynamics: "Try again, Miimou!" (Supportive, never didactic).
  • Magic: Can reshape into simple tools (a bridge, a ladder).

The Friend

Leo Concept

Leo

The Messy Peer

A contrast to Miimou's clean space. Leo brings the "Earth"—mud, frogs, and chaotic fun. He is not a teacher; he is a playmate who learns with Miimou.

  • Role: Social Mirror & Parallel Play.
  • Dynamics: The "Oscar" to Miimou's "Felix".
  • Contrast: Muddy Boots vs. Shiny Fur.

The World

Crash Site Environment

A Soft, Safe Sanctuary

The Rules:

  • Gentle Geometry: No sharp edges. Hills are soft, mossy mounds; trees are ancient, towering giants.
  • Soft Physics: Falling feels like landing on a deep bed of moss.
  • The Environment is the Antagonist: Soft doesn't mean easy. A steep mossy hill or a strong wind provides the friction, requiring Miimou to adapt and overcome.
  • Living World: The environment reacts. Strange glowing flora hums when touched.

Locations: The Cozy Cave (Home/Crash Site), The Fern Forest (Exploration), The Misty Mountains (Adventure).
