He chose the  studio's name after the Soviet space station "Mir", which inspired him for its "scientific breakthrough and collaborative spirit". The studio began work with 20 animators on its first project, the Nickelodeon animated series and "Avatar" sequel "The Legend of Korra" – an unusually significant contract for a new studio, which it obtained thanks to Yu's long working relationship with the creators of both series, Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino. Apart from the animation itself, Mir worked with Nickelodeon Animation Studio to contribute in "Korra"s pre-production and storyboarding, including its elaborate martial arts choreography. Sometime after the conclusion  of "The Legend of Korra", former Nickelodeon vice president Mark Taylor worked with Studio Mir to create the animation for the Netflix sci-fi animated series "" with some of the creative team from "Korra".
