Panny, a spirited baby panda, flees a zoo with his father, Papa Panda, and bonds with Mimiko, a girl residing solo in a bamboo grove. Discovered asleep on her doorstep, he delights in mischievous exploration, sparking laughter and danger through his antics. Mimiko nurtures him with maternal care, while Panny’s innocent reliance forges a tender, child-parent dynamic. His boundless curiosity sparks pivotal moments: trailing Mimiko to school triggers a frenzied pursuit by classmates and authorities. Though petite and disarmingly gentle, he reveals surprising power, like dislodging a dog clamped onto his head. Later, he befriends Tiny, a stray circus tiger cub, and assists in evacuating animals during a flood. A playful misadventure accidentally derails a train, resolved safely through collective effort. Panny’s unwavering devotion to Mimiko and Papa Panda shines through, frequently clinging to his father’s chest in a posture echoing Studio Ghibli-esque charm. His blend of panda instincts and imitation of human habits—like sipping water by dunking his nose—underscores themes of unconventional family bonds. The character remains confined to two original short films, with no expansions into spin-offs or extended universe narratives.
