Mixed Nutz
Mixed Nutz is an animated cartoon series produced by Big Bad Boo Studios. The show is about a group of friends from different backgrounds in a fictional town called Dyvercity. The main characters are Babak from Iran, Sanjay from India, Adele from Austria, Damaris from Cuba and Jae from Korea. The show has been referred to as "International" Peanuts for the simplicity of the animation style and its multicultural angle.

The two also produced Babak and Friends- A First Norooz. Mixed Nutz airs on certain PBS and MHz Worldview stations in the United States as well as Shaw TV in Canada.
