Synopsis

Mimi thinks that the Mortin family is about to be invited to a special Travers gala dinner, and she decides to "train" her family in the finer points of etiquette. After realizing that it's hopeless, she decides to cancel, only to discover that the Mortins haven't been invited! Refusing defeat, Mimi invites the Traverses over for brunch to demonstrate that the Mortins are indeed worthy.

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.
