Story

edit

The series chronicles the lives of three characters: Aasi, a donkey; Morso, a mysterious creature; and Mouru, a cat.

Aasi, who is naive and timid, resides alone in a modest dwelling and harbors a deep-seated fear of beings called morsos. This fear vanishes when he encounters Morso, leading to a newfound self-assurance. Mouru, known for his obstinacy and determination, encounters Aasi and Morso in the show's fourth episode.

Morso, characterized by his wisdom and composure, often defuses the tense situations that Aasi and he encounter.

Occasionally, a cuckoo clock makes an appearance.

Director Olli Löytönen has remarked that the show's underlying message is one of embracing differences.

Puppeteer Erja Mikkola has explained that Morso's intimidating design, diverging from his portrayal as a mouse in the original book, was intentional to evoke Aasi's initial fear, with a pug serving as the visual inspiration for Morso's look.Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page).
