''Mouk'' is a French animated television series produced by Millimages, adapted from the work of Marc Boutavant, and directed by François Narboux. 62 episodes were produced. The show has aired in Canada, United Kingdom and South Africa, as well as other countries.

Synopsis

The show is about two bike-riding travelers, Mouk and Chavapa, who have adventures as they travel around the world.

Each episode begins with Mouk and Chavapa chatting via webcam to their friends Popo and Mita back home. The friends say how excited they are to tell Mouk and Chavapa something interesting that has happened to them, but before they can, Mouk interrupts with a story of his travels. The friends usually do not get the chance to tell their story.
