Synopsis

The influence of a series of scary books has Mimi convinced that a new teacher is a "zombie," and she goes on a mission to expose the evil plot- only to discover that Mr. Romero works for the school board. He's there to demonstrate the negative effects of such books in order to have them banned. Mimi is humiliated, but, refusing to give up, she comes up with a plan to demonstrate that adults- even stick-in-the-muds like Mr. Romero- like to be scared.

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.
