Charley and Mimmo is a Canadian animated Children's Series from Quebec that currently airs on YTV.

[edit] Plot

Charley and Mimmo (pronounced Mee-moe) consists of a typical family (father, mother, son, and baby sister) in a suburban town. The son, Charley (and his subanthromorphic Teddy Bear Mimmo), are the main characters. Charley and his family and friends appear to be some kind of plush dolls that are either completely brown, black, or dark gray with the exception of a white face and round orange nose. The "people" in the show are the only characters who talk. Mimmo can walk on two legs, sit, and show facial expressions, but he cannot talk. To communicate, Mimmo squeaks and squeals like a squeaker toy. Charley, the star of the show, is a typical, average child. His voice and appearance suggest that he is somewhere between 4 and 7 years old. Charley is occasionally bossy and frequently starts arguments among his friends. He also tends to get upset, angry and jealous quickly and then regrets it later. Sometimes Charlie lies and has a slightly disapproving character.

There was a 2004 movie entitled "T'choupi" was released by Gebeka Films, but only in France and South Korea. The plot follows Charley and his friends flocking 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.

[edit] Series

Charley and Mimmo airs in 10-15 minute segments on YTV. It is still syndicated, but its production seems to have ceased. The show seems somewhat related to the Quebec children's production Caillou, as it has a similar plot (but with longer stories and live puppet segments). It was first seen in North America on "It's Itsy Bitsy Time" among many foreign short segments when it was broadcast on Fox Family and Treehouse TV in the late-1990s

The original music score for the series is the work of composer Peter Measroch.
