• Involves some songs
• A small number of episodes, which are endlessly repeated on certain channels.
• Vicky is a fan of the show (briefly mentioned in A Little Break)
• Lady Maxime was one of the voice actors, so it's presumably animated
• The main characters include Bibi, Babi, Fnord, and Doctor Nerk
• The show is set on a Polynesian island, with a cast of islanders as well as Japanese and American visitors
  • A big theme of the show is that it's important to understand the differences between different cultures, rather than looking down on someone or pretending that everyone is the same
  • There are talking animals and oddly simplistic adventures, but there's often a stealth aesop which can be surprisingly mature
  • The show provides subtle cues to distinguish fantasy elements from the times the characters learn real things about real human cultures

  • It's a mixed animated/live action show, with live actors for the adult characters (who are then dressed as babies, and other characters see them as children, but they're still played by adults)
    • It's not clear if the adults are live action actors in the TV show
