Ti-Mo the mouse finds a giant speckled egg in the jungle of Mauritius. After a wild chase, Ruby catches it, the egg hatches, and out pops a baby dodo who thinks Ruby is its mummy. When a far-away dodo call echoes from the mountains, the friends set off to help it find its family.
It is made for children aged 4 to 8 and is gentle enough for younger siblings to watch too. There is no scary content; the egg chase is played for giggles.
Is the dodo real?
The dodo was a real, flightless bird that lived only on the island of Mauritius. It disappeared in the 1600s. In our story, Ruby and Ti-Mo discover a baby dodo hidden in the island’s green mountains.
When is Episode 2?

Was it made with AI?
