Molang is an animated children's television series created by the animation studio Millimages. The titular character, Molang, was designed by the Korean illustrator Hye-Ji Yoon on the platform KakaoTalk. The designer had said that the name originated from the word mallangmallang (말랑말랑) which means soft, squishy, and fluffy.[citation needed]

## Plot

[edit]

The series chronicles the relationship between roommates and best friends, Molang, an enthusiastic happy and optimistic rabbit, and Piu Piu, a timid but outgoing chick. They pit their wits against numerous occurrences, ranging from everyday problems and sitcom-style situations, to extraordinary adventures that often turn dangerous and/or risky.[1]

The show's animation and art style are heavily inspired by Japanese anime/chibi, with sweat drops on the characters' faces and particular expressions on their eyes, usually whenever they're extremely jovial, perplexed, frightened, or panicked, alongside oversized heads constrasting against short, simplistic bodies.

Molang is defined by its empathy, softness, tenderness, and joy. Molang has no nationality, is ageless, and gender-neutral.[2] The characters of Molang speak Molanguese.

## Characters

[edit]

* Molang (voiced by Bruno Guéraçague) is a white rabbit that makes every moment of the duo's daily life a unique and wonderful moment, taking special care of each detail, and giving little things an unexpected fresh taste. Molang puts its heart into everything it does, even when it gets it and its friend, Piu Piu, into trouble.
* Piu Piu (voiced by Nathalie Stas) is a little yellow chick. Shy, reserved, and someone who dislikes being the center of attention, it takes great care to keep things under control. When something unexpected arises, Piu Piu can be quickly destabilized.
* The Pincos: Molang and Piu Piu's friends are a group of miscellaneous rabbits that look identical in shape to their counterpart, Molang. They vary greatly in personality: some are friendly and well-meaning (like Molang), while others are soft-spoken and timid (like Piu Piu), while others are easily irritated and short-tempered (the beachgoers from The Coconut, the director from The Extras, etc.).
