Mao Mao Heroes of Pure Heart

"Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart" is an animated series produced by Cartoon Network, featuring Mao Mao, an 11-year-old aspiring hero from Pure Heart Village. Alongside her pet Badgerclops, Mao Mao embarks on adventures to protect her village from monsters and retrieve ancient relics with the help of friends like Adorabat, a warrior princess, and Meditating Melvin, who astral projects to avoid dental visits.

The series was created by Daryl Harding & Jordan Blum, animated by Titmouse, Inc., with additional work from Inspidea. It premiered on Cartoon Network in the US on July 1, 2019, and internationally in Italy, Netherlands, and Poland in early 2020. Initially available on HBO Max, it was removed post the Warner Bros. Discovery merger in August 2022, leading to its removal from Cartoon Network's platforms.

Critics received the series mixed to positively, with praise for action scenes and cross-generational appeal. While Season 2 was confirmed, the show's uncertain future post-merger leaves its status unclear.
