The Voyage of the Mimi was produced for under $4 million, and it was a hit. In 1988, a sequel series, The Second Voyage of the Mimi, was launched. Instead of whales in New England, the sequel focused on exploring Mayan ruins in Mexico. It wasn’t as memorable as the original, and I will always hate it because my math class had to learn Mayan math, and the zero I earned on the test still haunts me decades later.
A third series, allegedly following C.T. and his grandfather on a trip down the Mississippi River and teaching about ecology and the environment, was never produced.
