I'm surprised there are not more cartoons with mimes as protagonists. It would probably cut down animation costs and you wouldn't need a voice actor. (leminal.space)

Was thinking about an isekai where a mime mimes getting hit by a bus and gets transported to another world but just keeps on miming

Funny enough, "cutting down on costs" and "not having a voice actor" isn't actually what makes a good cartoon.

Two things:

Back before audio was really available with film that is pretty much what we had. The character would do something then a card with the dialogue would show up. When "talkies" came along everyone made them for a reason.
I think the concept would be interesting but would get old. Dialogue is often used to advance and explain plot, the types of stories that could be told would be greatly limited without dialogue.
