Mirette Investigates (French: Les enquêtes de Mirette) (Catalan: Les investigacións de la Mirette) is an animated series based on a series of picture books by the author Fanny Joly and published by Éditions Sarbacane. Laurent Audouin illustrated the books, which debuted in 2008.[1][2] The show premiered on TF1's TFOU on 6 November 2016,[3] and is billed as the "first travelling detective comedy".[4]
The show revolves on the international adventures of a young French detective named Mirette and her talking feline assistant Jean-Pat as they travel with Mirette's travel-agent father and solve mysteries.[5]
Mirette Investigates was one of the projects pitched at the European animation event Cartoon Forum in 2013.[7] Production began in October 2014.[8] It was produced by Cyber Group Studios and KD Productions.[5]
The show was sold to TF1 and Canal+ (France), TV3 (Catalonia), WDR (Germany), Teletoon+ (Poland), Sveriges Television (Sweden), RTS (Switzerland), Minimax (Central Europe), and VRT (Belgium).[9] In June 2016, Studio 100 announced it acquired the DVD and VoD rights to Mirette Investigates in German-speaking territories.[10][11]
