Season 4 & 5:
Molang and Piu Piu's timeless friendship goes back a long way. From the Stone Age to the 20th century, from Greek Antiquity to the Royal Court of Versailles, our much loved and acclaimed heroes take over History with their invariable wit and good spirit. A true friendship standing the test of time, which reminds us that we can find happiness at all times!
Characters [edit]
The black logo, used on the Molang's official website since June 30, 2021.
- Molang is a rabbit that makes every moment of their daily life a unique and wonderful moment, taking special care of each detail, giving little things an unexpected taste. Molang puts their heart in everything they do, even when Molang does nothing, they do it well.
- Piu Piu is a little yellow chick. Shy and reserved, who does not like to be the center of attention, Piu Piu takes great care to do things in the right way.
Also, when something unexpected arises (and Molang's fantasy makes it arise more than one time!), Piu Piu can be quickly destabilized.
- Molang and Piu Piu's friends are a group of bunny rabbits that look identical in shape to their counterpart, Molang.
