Do, Re and Mi Lano are three poodle brothers who work in the King's castle as cooks.[1][2] They are also seen serving the head of state at the castle.[3][4]

Appearance

Do is the shortest of the trio. Re is the heavyset brother. Mi is the tallest of the three. All three of them have blue fur and are depicted as poodles with a Continental or Lion clip, although Mi is the only one to have poms on his wrists. The characters are depicted as stereotypical Italian cooks, as can be seen by their red scarfs, and Toque blanche type of hats. They are also shown making spaghetti and Mi Lano's name references the Italian spelling of Milan.[5]

Personality

They seem to be quite adept at teamwork as shown through their elaborate routine making spaghetti. They are always smiling, even when being rushed by their superiors.[4]

Storyline

Do, Re and Mi Lano work at the King's castle in the kitchen as cooks. They are also seen serving food and drinks to the head of state at the castle. This likely means that the castle's staff is independent from the monarchy. Specifically Re Lano is seen serving cheese to emperor Dolf, during his authoritarian reign of the castle. Snuif de Muis had snuck in between the two pieces of cheese to assault Dolf. It is unknown whether or not Re Lano was in on Snuif's plan.[3][4]

Their character sheet was made in June of 1988 and their sheet numbers are 29/2, 30/2 and 31/2.[1]

Do, re, and mi are named after the first three syllables of the solfège system, used to represent successive notes of a musical scale. Mi Lano's name is likely in reference to Milano, the Italian spelling of the city of Milan.
