You probably remember one of the most precious moments of the year so far from last month, when Professor Robert Kelly was live on air with the BBC talking about South Korea and was interrupted in the cutest way possible by his two children. Here, let me refresh your memory:
The clip – which I’ve watched about a hundred times by now – inspired Jarryd Mandy and his partner Lauren Martin to create a cartoon, starring little Mina and Jack (based on Kelly’s children Marion and James) as clever little detectives who follow their father around the world on missions for the UN and solve crimes.

@WSJ We love the video so much we created an animated series.@Robert_E_Kelly approved –> https://t.co/UyC9V05sp7

Mandy and Martin hope to create a full animated series if they can score funding for the project; they already have Kelly’s blessing. With an adorable backstory and a smart idea about exposing viewers to different cultures, it sounds like the show already has some of the necessary ingredients to make it a winner.
