sylvdlcr I remember I use to watch this cartoon as a kid. Some time ago I remember thinking about this cartoon and wishing they would show it on t.v again. One day recently I was flipping channels and saw the cartoon. I was surprised! Then I thought "I want to buy the DVD collection." I saw somewhere that they plan on releasing it in October 16th of 2007. A 5-disk set for $39.99. Hope to get a copy! I don't know where to get it. I'm hoping to be able to find it in Amazon.com. It has adventure, suspense, and it's funny. You get hooked. I think the cartoons they use to make are a lot better than today's cartoons. The Littles are great!
Movie Nuttball When this show was on I watched it every time I could! I thought that the characters were really funny and all had great personalities. The animation in My opinion was crisp, clean, and really clear. Not to mention beautiful! Most of the characters in this show are hilarious Looney Tunes characters that we all love. in My opinion these characters are the funnies and talented ever seen. In fact, The things that goes on in this series' cartoons are in My opinion nuts which that is what makes them hilarious! There are so many to like and laugh at and the silly things they do! If you like the original Looney Tunes then I strongly recommend that you watch this show!
stonecoldmjd Both my son and I loved this movie. I remembered watching it as a kid, though I forgot about it until I saw this movie in the cheap spot in the store. I bought it and fell in love all over again. My son has been watching it for two straight years and it is still one of his favorites. Its not hard to love this show.Its starts off with a creepy and dark house full of spider webs, bats, black cats, and rats. Then it switches over to a bright house and two small rodent like playful children "borrowing" an apple. Because Littles do not steal, they always give something when they take something.Henry Big is a human child who's parents have been lost in Africa, now he has to go live with an Uncle he has never met before.To get the movie started the "Liitle" Kids, Tom & Lucy find Henry's lucky rabbit's foot and trade it for the apple. They try to sneak the rabbit's foot into Henry's suitcase, but they get caught and shut up in the case and carried away to Augustus's house.Grandpa Little and his goofy sidekick Dinky Little take off in Dinky's glider to rescue Tom & Lucy.The rest of the movie is about danger and narrow escapes and its about family and friendships with good defeating evil...of course.You really should watch this movie it is funny and if you are 3 or 30 it makes no difference, this is a movie you'll want to watch with your kids.
Gaos I remember watching this show when it was new--I was 8 years old at the time, about the same age as Lucy Little, and I totally identified with her. At the time I thought it was just a fun show about little (REALLY little!) kids that were just like me, in a way. Recently I found it again in syndication and I'm relieved to find out that one of my childhood favourites _has_ aged well. "The Littles" is a very creative cartoon, and gives great attention to details. For one thing, every time they do a scene from the Littles' point of view (which is often), the animators had to draw ordinary objects blown up to many times their size, which requires a lot of detail work (i.e, every single individual strand on a piece of string, the holes on a piece of printer paper, etc.) Another detail that I like is that the Littles are mostly drawn as having a sort of late 1800's/early 1900's style to their clothes, technology, etc. For example, Tom dresses kind of like a "Newsie", Dinky's outfit is that of a WWI flying ace rather than a _modern_ pilot, and the kids' home-made bicycles (which use _bottle caps_ for wheels) have the front wheel much bigger than the back, like a 19th-century style bike. This lends a colorful little touch of...quaintness to the look of the show and adds to the Littles' "otherworldly" feel.And then there's the characters, none of whom are one-dimensional clichés. The main one I remembered from back then (besides Lucy) has gotta be the dippy, accident-prone aviator Cousin Dinky--and watching it again, I can see why. He is just plain _hilarious_--constantly bragging about being an expert at things he's never done, insanely daring one second but cowardly the next, seemingly unfazed by crashing his plane (which happens _often_. Well, you know what they say...any crash you can walk away from...) And while he normally seems stupid or at least "out of it", he can sometimes be the only one who picks up on an important clue. Personality-wise, he _strongly_ reminds me of Launchpad McQuack, from "DuckTales"/"Darkwing Duck"...but since "The Littles" was first, I guess we gotta call Dinky the "prototype" of LP, huh? (Heck, the way Grandpa always insults Dinky even sounds like the way Scrooge McDuck always yells at LP...)The other characters shine no less brightly. Grandpa is not a feeble old coot, but instead a tough, experienced older gentleman with a sharp sense of adventure and an even sharper tongue! Tom is a bit hot-tempered and impulsive but has a heart underneath that, and Lucy is a tomboy who manages to be _sensible_ without coming across as cowardly. She's the kind of role-model more little girls these days could stand to grow up with. Even Henry, who's fairly bland, comes across as sympathetic because the other kids at his school consider him something of a loser. All things considered, "The Littles" may not be one of the greatest cartoons of all time, no, but it is detailed, creative, and _does_ hold up well over time. If you haven't caught this one on syndication yet, give it a look--because, like the tiny people themselves, you never know when it might disappear.
