Mouk in English

Mouk in English follows a real animated series about a bear cub traveling the world and encountering different cultures and customs along the way, and it genuinely models curiosity about and respect for difference -- territory that's fairly unusual for children's television to take on directly rather than treating as background flavor. Each episode has Mouk encountering something new about how people in a different place live, eat, or celebrate, framed with warmth rather than treated as strange or foreign to gawk at. The series is dubbed into English from its original French, and that translation shows a little in the pacing and phrasing at times, though it doesn't get in the way of following the story or picking up on the cultural themes the show is genuinely built around.
