Synopsis
Mimi's worried about Russell- he's out of shape and lazy- if he doesn't shape up soon, who knows what will become of him? So she decides to sign him up in the local "Iron Guy" competition and to become his personal trainer. With victory near, Mimi and Russell discover that last year's winner, Brock Wickershum, is emotionally shattered over the idea of losing the only good thing he's got going for him. Should they let him win, or is it all just an act?

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.
