"Here Come the Littles" is actually the first full-length version (it runs around 72 mins) which explains how the Littles, i.e. Tom, Lucy, Cousin Dinky, Grandpa Little, etc come into the life of Henry, the young boy who is forced to live with his evil Uncle Augustus. Augustus has been appointed Henry's guardian (or so he claims) whilst Henry's parents are lost somewhere in Africa. The Littles (who look human but have elf-like ears and mouse-like tails) happen to live in the crevices of the house. This full-length feature is actually the first story about the Littles and explores how Henry and the Littles become friends and how the Littles help Henry put an end to Augustus' machinations.

I recently purchased The Littles - The Complete Series but buyers need to be aware that "Here Come the Littles" is not included on the set. The set comprises the other episodes (which only run about 20 mins per episode). I loved this series as a young child and am glad to be able to share it with my 5-year-old who loves the stories, the interesting plots, and adorable characters. There is much to be said about the older children's programs compared to some of the abominable shows passing off as kids' entertainment these days.

Before the television series there was the theatre release to the Littles that started the series off. Based on the beloved children book series about little people with tails living in the walls of people's houses. If you ever wondered how Henrey Bigg became friends with Tom and Lucy this movie explains it all. How they teamed up the save their home from being bull dozed to the ground while Henrey parents are missing half way across the world.

my kids never heard of the Littles and the DVD gave them a lot of fun!
