Notable characters & songs
Kikky (Marie-Christine Naim) is the show's lead since its very beginning. She's often compared to Chantal Goya, or Dorothee. She's accompanied by many characters including Glagla Le Clown, Woonie Le Marin, Sucette, Papouf, Mamouf, Patitoupata, Fanfan L'Elephant, and the show's original witch Ambrosia plus her crow Cornefer. All character names and songs were conceived and composed by Ghazy Feghaly. He drew inspiration from his niece's Youmna Chamcham imaginary friends. They wrote many of the songs while playing together at home. Monsieur Le Livre, once Youmna's lullaby, is now a song taught in nurseries and schools. Mini Studio was the first show to ever record the Alphabet Song in Arabic in 1996. Every year the show releases a new album and a Holiday special for Christmas & Easter.
