Mot is a French children's animated television series about a purple monster. Based on the children's comics by Alfonso Azpiri, Mot is from the Monstrous Organicus Telluricus family. The series follows Mot's adventures with his human friend Leo. Mot has the amazing ability to teleport himself from one universe to another with delicious ease, but not always with great accuracy. In order to voyage through time and space, Mot simply has to find a door opening onto a tiny space equipped with a movable panel, and he arrives unexpectedly in his friend Leo's room via the wardrobe door. The show ran from 1996 to 1997 and was rebroadcast in the US, France and Australia throughout the '90s.
