Campbell river, British Columbia Canada. A generation of elementary school children at Penfield elementary watched the entire mimi series. 1995-1996 is when I watched it. We were stoked when he became famous! We still whistle the song!
We watched Voyage of the Mimi in like 4th grade once a week and I remember the entire class looked forward to it more than anything. It even beat bill nye. I tripped out when I realized it started a young Ben Affleck.
This interview is such a head trip. I always imagined that little Matt would be the quick speaking hyper half of this duo with Ben being more laconic...fewer words & way more laid back...WRONG! Anyway good on Ben for being so forthright about his battle with addictions. It took guts and he's better for it and the world is a little bit better off too. Its ok to say out loud that your not ok.

Dude!!! I remember watching Voyage of the Mimi on laser disc in science class in middle school! Wow, totally forgot that was him.
He’s very relatable
Love Love Love You Ben💜💙💛
I love that this experience made Mr Affleck feel responsible and that his work gave him pride. But how was he educated while they were filming.
Sorry about your loss man.
I watched that WHOLE series in 6th grade. VOYAGE OF THE MIMI .I Watched it in 1996 super corny but I always remember it
Yup me too! In the early 2000's. Crazy how they still play it in schools!

The voyage of the mimi, that sounds really familiar. I feel like we might have watched that back in elementary school.
