Mama Mirabelle's Home Movies

Set in the African savannah, it focuses on an enthusiastic elephant named Mama Mirabelle, who travels around the world to film real wildlife footage and project them onto a screen of fireflies in front of almost the entire animal kingdom. The "Home Movies" are used for educational purposes not only for the main young characters but for the pre-school audience at home.

• Mama Mirabelle (voiced by Floella Benjamin in the United Kingdom and Vanessa Williams in the United States) is the show's title character; an elephant who always wears a beautiful orange hat with blue flowers on it. She has travelled the world and made movies of all of the many animals around her.
• Max (voiced by Phillipa Alexander in English and Josephine Schmidt in Germany) is Mama Mirabelle's son, who is the youngest of the group. He always says "Whoa" when he sees something intriguing.
• Karla (voiced by Teresa Gallagher in both the United Kingdom and the United States, and Jennifer Wieb in Germany) is a zebra foal who is always full of questions. She looks up to Mama Mirabelle and wants to be like her when she grows up.
• Bo (voiced by Jules de Jongh in both the United States and the United Kingdom, and Jesco Spirgen in Germany) is a spunky cheetah cub. He is very adventurous, feisty and high-strung and loves to run fast.
• Chip, Flip and Kip are three silly monkeys. They host the Monkey Minutes interstitials. Unlike the other main characters, they do not speak, except in monkey noises.
• Merlin is an Egyptian fruit bat.
• Kayla (voiced by Moya O'Sullivan) is a red kangaroo who is friends with Mama Mirabelle.
• Kylie (voiced by Gabriella Lewis) is Kayla's daughter. She only has one line in each episode she appeared in.
• Daddy Stripes (voiced by David Holt in the United Kingdom and the United States) is Karla's father who appears in one episode.
• Keisha (voiced by Emma Tate) is a wombat whom Karla befriends. She is only seen in To Sleep With Wombats.
• Benny (voiced by Lizzie Waterworth) is a lovebird who loves to aid.
• Winnie is a wildebeest calf who is Karla's friend. She and her migrating herd only appear in Here Today, Gone Tomorrow. She can speak Swahili.
• Jacques (voiced by Alan Marriott) is a walrus who is a fellow traveller of Mama Mirabelle.
• Mama Bird (voiced by Elly Fairman) is Benny's mother.
• Edna (voiced by Felicia Hamilton) is a young echidna who lives in Australia.
