Some Minis have yellow and black stripes, and some... well... they come in different shapes and colors-like Inyoface, he was yellow and had a long neck. A very long neck. The Minis' natural home was among beautiful trees, flowers, and lakes. They couldn't be happier. At night, their sky illuminates. But one day, the Minis realized something was wrong with Colortoon.

The Minis had come from Colortoon, which they had to leave very quickly because it was getting too hot and would go boom. They'd all left in spaceships made by Professor Groupe. It had been an eventful journey to Earth, resulting in all the spaceships making it to America... all of them except for the spaceship the Minis' astronaut Elise had been flying, which had landed in Russia. But the Minis' adventures had just begun. Suddenly, a colossal creature scuttled toward the Minis. However, a huge foot crashed on top of the creature and squashed it. The Minis trembled, looked up and up, and saw a BIG man with an angry face, a cockeye, and the smell of the man's rotten breath like a stinky cloud. Out of nowhere, the man's gigantic grubby finger and thumb swiped a Mini off the ground. Panic ensued and the rest of the Minis scattered. But ChaCha, a gigantic Chihuahua, appeared before them, causing the Minis to freeze. The owners of ChaCha are tricky scientists Boris and Viktor, who strong desire for fame, would stop at nothing in their pursuit of the Minis, even to the end of the Earth, to reveal their findings to the world.
