Back in February, we featured the teaser for a new, Flash-animated TV series out of Russia, titled Qumi-Qumi. In this first, 13-minute episode below, you’ll see that it’s full of world-class design, both in characters and environments. The look is also quite unique, especially the characters. The series was created at Moscow-based Toonbox Studio, and in each episode you’ll visit a world inhabited by creatures divided into three nations who all speak one completely made-up language. This episode was directed by Vladimir Ponomarev and produced by Pavel Muntyan.
