About Mimi Tucker: Mimi Tucker, co-founder of Chap in the Box Studios, is an animation director with a fine art background and a degree in psychology. Raised in Brighton, UK, Mimi is still inspired by the vibrant theatrical culture of her hometown, bringing a sense of playfulness, performance, and visual energy to her work. She takes a thoughtful approach to creating children’s content, ensuring that her original properties—like the newly released digital-first show Rockabetty & The Rollers—are both entertaining and informed by child development principles. Passionate about creating a safer digital landscape for children, Mimi focuses on mobilising screen time to encourage off-screen activities and learning.
