BO's Shop

2003–2007★ 7.7· Animation, Comedy

Lapkina, a young woman from a small Russian town, finds an alien bunny named BO on the street. His flying saucer, stashed "in the bushes near Vyborg", is packed with various "thingamajigs" that drive the show's plot. BO represents an extraterrestrial race far more advanced than Earth's civilization — which explains his patronizing, sardonic attitude toward the humans who took him in. The alien's perspective allows the show's creator to approach everyday human life from a completely different angle, seeing the familiar in a new light and finding something surprising in the mundane.
