Miikshi follows a quiet genius scientist sheep and her high-tech, haywire sci-fi adventures in the city of Mibukiville.
Fuzzy puppets, detailed sets and intricate model miniature filmmaking bring the characters, model vehicles and world to life.
Miikshi currently consists of two original short films, a ten-episode TVOkids series, and a new series about muography produced in partnership with the University of Tokyo.
The creators of Miikshi, wife-and-husband team Lindsay Lee and Justin T. Lee, were puppetry supervisor and director/producer on Thunderbirds: The Anniversary Episodes for ITV in the UK, collaborating with film industry veterans who'd worked on everything from James Bond and Star Wars to The Lord of the Rings.
Upon their return to Canada, they started Gazelle Studios and created the original Miikshi short films in the tiny back room of a pizza shop with a small, dedicated crew. (Yes, there was discounted pizza.)
