Minuscule was a French series of short video animations giving "a bird's eye view of insects' day to day existence, distorted through a burlesque, yet poetic lens". Miniscule is a popular French animated TV series created in 2006 by Futurikon. It is about the life challenges of small insects and bugs and is set against realistic backdrops from the human and natural environment, making a combination of animation and film. The most important technique used is personification. This allows the audience to relate the characters, the relationships and the situations, which all reflect real life. Humor is created through the personification as the viewer imagines themselves in similar situations to the insects. Sometimes the characters are in competition with each other such as in “at full speed” where six different insects have a race along a road. They use dirty tricks to try to outdo each other but end up crashing. In this episode and most others, a combination of background music, realistic and created sounds are used. There is no dialogue in this series however the insects all make different sounds to communicate with each other. This unusual TV series can be enjoyed and understood by people from all cultures and ages.
