This afternoon, Mujong proudly supported “Music In the Theatre,” a concert presented by the Young Musicians Orchestra (YMO) at Play Den, The Arts House — an afternoon of beloved movie themes performed under the baton of Maestro Lim Ni Ta.
Rather than simply sponsor the event, we wanted to contribute something the young audience would actually remember: two short pre-concert animations. The first, a playful “Please switch your phone to Silent Mode” reminder starring Mujong’s own tile-shaped mascot, did the unglamorous job every concert needs done — with a wink. The second was more personal: an enchanting sequence in which Kiki’s own “Mujong Castle” transforms into a magical fairytale castle, drawn straight from the game’s own visual language.
The turnout was tremendous, and the Young Musicians Orchestra — a youth ensemble in every sense — played with the kind of poise and sparkle that made the pairing feel completely natural. Mujong exists to make music theory playful for children, so sharing a stage, even briefly, with a full youth orchestra doing exactly that with instruments in hand felt like a quiet vindication of everything we’re building.
Both animations were built in-house by our small team. The “Silent Mode” clip in particular had to do something genuinely useful — get an auditorium full of families to put their phones away — without feeling like a scolding, which is a harder brief than it sounds for an audience that includes plenty of restless younger siblings!
Thank you to YMO and everyone at The Arts House for having us. There was no hard sell today, no product placement — just two animations built specifically for this audience, in this room, for this concert. That’s exactly how we like to show up.
