Charley and Mimmo (French : T'Choupi et Doudou) is a traditionally animated children's television series that aired on YTV between 1999 and 2002.[ citation needed ]
Charley and Mimmo ( /ˈmiːmoʊ/ ) consists of a typical family (father, mother, son, and baby sister) in a suburban town. The son, Charley (and his subanthropomorphic teddy bear Mimmo), are the main characters. Charley and his family and friends are penguin/seal-like creatures (with round orange clown-like noses instead of beaks, and they live in a warm area rather than Antarctica. They have penguin-like feet and coloring, but have mitten-like "hands" rather than wings or flippers). Charley and most of the characters are a standard black and white, typical of real penguins, although some of the other characters are brown. [1]
A 2004 movie entitled "T'choupi" was released by Gebeka Films, but only in France, South Korea and Poland. The plot follows Charley and his friends working together to find out who has stolen all the toys. "T'choupi" is Charley's name in French and "Doudou" is Mimmo's name in French. [2]
Charley and Mimmo aired in 10–15 minute segments on YTV. The show seems somewhat related to another Canadian children's production Caillou , as it has a similar artstyle and plot (except Caillou has longer stories and live puppet segments in the PBS Kids airings). [3]
It was first seen in the United States on It's Itsy Bitsy Time, among many foreign short segments when it was broadcast on Fox Family in 1999. It was also shown on Treehouse TV.
The original music score for the series is the work of composer Peter Measroch.[ citation needed ]
