This 4-5 minute animated serial captured my attention back in 1990 on Channel 4 - a cartoon short called Mio & Mao. The show is currently on Channel 5 weekday mornings and I’ve discovered it again.
Mio and Mao is a stop motion show starring two kittens. This playful pussycat duo are always exploring their surroundings and come across something new every episode. The ‘something new’ is normally a different animal they are curious about and end up making friends with by the end of the episode.
The concept is actually more entertaining than it sounds, for the way the model characters act and behave in both a surreal and surprisingly realistic manner (on the cats part mainly) is fun to watch. Like with Pingu, the Mio & Mao cartoons are in their own speaking making it friendly viewing for anyone whatever their language.
Of course, the theme-song of Mio and Mao sung by the duo themselves is never forgotten so easily.
So here’s a Youtube link to an episode. I hope you are won over by its colourful cuteness. They remind me somewhat of my own two cats:
