Synopsis

Mimi's false advertising for her brother Bradley's lemonade stand backfires.

Mimi and Elaine take a marketing course in the air-conditioned rec centre to escape the summer heat. But when Mimi discovers that Sincerity is also taking the course- and that she has a big marketing scheme up her sleeve- Mimi decides that she has to come up with an idea, too. And what better than her brother Bradley's fledgling lemonade stand? Mimi winds up creating a marketing success based on a big lie- and she also creates a very unhappy brother in the process.

Production notes

The world is simple, just poorly managed...

A snappy, savvy, family-oriented show about 11-year-old Mimi Morton, problem-solver extraordinaire! Mimi trains her earnest problem-fixing skills on her friends and family.

Mimi's family surname is variously called "Mortin" and "Morton" in studio publicity.

In the first two seasons, episodes each consisted of one cartoon. In the third season, they were each separable into two 11-minute cartoons.
