Cheerful Mimiko lives with an odd family—a panda who is her father and his son Panny, who calls her Mom. When Panny sneaks into Mimiko’s school, he disguises himself as a teddy bear to keep her out of trouble, but his antics soon create chaos and the school chases after him. He later befriends Tiny, a baby tiger that has escaped from a circus.
