Synopsis
"Mironins” is an adventure-filled animation series starring three tiny paint drops – Ro, Low and Blu – who have escaped from one of Joan Miró’s paintings. Now that they’ve managed to leave the dark and boring storage room where they used to be, they can live among the museum’s exhibitions.
Every evening, when the museum closes, the Mironins try to make themselves at home in one of the works of art in the museum. In the process, Ro, Blu and Low will live a myriad of fun and exciting adventures, they’ll need to solve unexpected problems and overcome obstacles created by unpredictable external elements (and also, a lot of times, by themselves).

Meet the Mironins!
BLU
He's cute, sensitive and sweet and he loves hanging out with his friends. Just like a three-year-old boy, he's very much in touch with his own emotions. He can be happy and be laughing one moment and crying his eyes out the next one. He's also a bit of a sleepyhead and quite absent-minded; with a tendency of getting lost during their adventures!
LOW
She's the smartest of them all; always ready with a brilliant idea or an adequate solution for every situation. Her way of analyzing reality will help the Mironins get out of many problems, but it will also get them in trouble. Low acts as an eight-year-old girl, but she can be quite grumpy too! Her distinctive trait is her glasses; without them, she wouldn't be able to see a thing.
RO
When it comes to speed, Ro and her skates are second to none! And her physical strength knows no limits; she’s able to lift any object regardless of its weight or size. Ro springs into action before thinking, which often gets her into trouble. She's anything but shy; always acting like a clown in front of her friends (or anyone for that matter). Just like a five-year-old girl: fearless and dynamic!

The TV show
Mironins is an animated TV show consisting of 26 episodes of around 7-minute duration aimed at kids between 3 to 7 years old. A madcap multicoloured journey into the amazing world of art full of humour and fantasy for children to have fun while using their imagination.
The new museum guides
Using augmented reality, children will have the chance to visit the museum where the Mironins live (the Fundació Joan Miró) and discover the real paintings that inspired their favourite episodes. And they will be able to do so with some very special guides: the Mironins.
Mironins Video game
We will produce an interactive game titled “The Challenges of Art” that will be directly linked to the series’ storylines. The game will inspire children, foster their imagination and turn artistic and creative practice into one of the most fun and constructive activities in their daily lives.
Mironins ArtLab
A series of art workshops aimed at children and organised in collaboration with museums, schools, libraries, and bookshops. The activities will allow kids to experiment with a variety of art techniques and become little creators with the help of the Mironins themselves and various guest artists.
Mironins Book
“Mironins. A book to play and learn with Joan Miró”, printed by publishing house Gustavo Gili – is available in five languages in a variety of bookshops, for example at the Fundació Joan Miró, at the Museo Reina Sofia or at La Central. So far, the book has sold more than 10.000 copies.
Merchandising
Following the book’s success, a series of derivative products were made available to the public: plush toys, t-shirts, lunchboxes, pins, pens, hats, umbrellas… We will redesign the merchandising line and launch new products when the television series is released. We will also add a line of art supplies for children, so they can create their own art works with the Mironins’ products.
