Reminds me of the video series called Pingu, which uses no natural language, though it does use a fictional language based on honks and context; basically it’s for kids in regardless of the language they speak.
Aardman's stop-motion TV series Shaun the Sheep also does not use speech and relies on visual comedy. There are even two feature-length films - both devoid of any dialogue or narration.
Pingu was a favourite to watch with the kids when they were younger - so much going on with no words. Also loved "The Flying Adrenallini Brothers" which was an animation with a made up language but so many visual gag laughs.
I co created and directed the Adrenalini Brothers - glad you liked it!
The made up language was Rendoosian. In the beginning we tried to improvise gibberish but realised that it just didn't sound right so we wrote everything down.
Wow, this is an honour indeed to interact with you! I've actually gone back on Youtube and watched a few episodes again - ah the memories.
Loved re-listening to Rendoosian again - wonderful language that has enough of a hint of actual English that you understand what was being said or implied. Also loved the intro Rendoosian glyph fonts.
Thank you for bringing such a wonderful and different cartoon to the world!

Also Khaby Lame, TikTok's most followed creator (currently almost 150 million followers and 2.3 billion likes). Some say his purely visusal comedy contributed to his success, because he is not siloed into a language community.
For some reason this doesn't seem to translate to games, or at least I'm not familiar with any good kids games without audio cues. Not sure why that is, maybe because the player is in control and the camera isn't as easily able to control the view of the narrative?
Early Lego games made great use of intonation and miming for their gags and storytelling. For example, this is their version of the famous "I am your father" scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvX3MaFB9TI
For some reason the entire audio track is completely different for US and the rest of the world. If you’ve ever seen it in the US, you haven’t heard the original.
