The Mr. Men Little Miss Show is an animated program that's based on the books by Roger Hargreaves and features colorful characters with extreme personality traits like laziness, grumpiness, nervousness, and an insatiable urge to tickle. These six episodes take place in Dillydale where townspeople like Mr. Tickle, Miss Calamity, and Mr. Messy are busy with everything from parades and celebrations to everyday events like harvesting hay and going to the mall or movie theater. Because each character is ruled by a dominant personality trait, differences in approach and opinions are marked. For instance, Mr. Persnickety thinks that Mr. Messy's cheese store is simply appalling while all shoppers agree that Mr. Scatterbrain's best efforts selling shoes or taking television shopping channel orders don't begin to make him a good salesperson. Likewise, pairing up Little Miss Whoops and Mr. Bump to harvest hay on the farm or clean-up after the Dillydale Day celebration are recipes for certain disaster. Luckily, Mr. Tickle can be counted upon to bring a smile to even the grumpiest of faces with his noodle-like, tickling arms. These cute, but extreme characters offer kids a glimpse of how differently people think and approach things and that recognition is an important first step in the development of understanding, empathy, and flexibility. Bonus features include meet, find, and how to draw Mr. Tickle segments; a “Dance, Dance, Dance” music video; DVD-Rom activities; --Tami Horiuchi

5.0 out of 5 stars Tickles the Funny Bone, October 1, 2009

This review is from: Mr. Men Show - Mr. Tickle Presents: Tickle Time Around Town! (DVD)

Roger Hargreaves' Mr. Men characters, created for Price, Sloan, and Stern, have been an international sensation for decades. PSS is best known for Mad-Libs and humorous greeting cards. Never have their Mr. Men characters been marketed solely for children until now. The Mr. Men Show, which ran on Cartoon Network in the U.S., is undoubtedly a hit with small kids, but it's also one of the few kids' shows grown-ups will want to watch with them. It's also a hit on UK, French, and Australian TV.

Mr. Tickle is one of two DVDs from Season One, the other being Little Miss Sunshine Mr. Men Show - Little Miss Sunshine Presents: Fun in the Sun! The extras on each DVD center around these upbeat title characters, but the shows included don't. That's because each of the shows is about the various inhabitants of DillyDale, and how they all get involved differently, in the town. The six episodes on "Mr. Tickle" are: Parade, Sightseeing, Movies, Mall, Farm, and Dillydale Day. The episodes on Little Miss Sunshine are: Fair, Wildlife, Amusement Park, Beach, Lake, and Science.

The cover shows some 31 characters, but they're not all in each episode. Part of the fun is seeing how they live up to their names: Mr. Grumpy, Miss Scary, Mr. Rude, Miss Daredevil, etc. Each DVD includes a 16 page, full-color, 4 X 5 inch book, published by Penguin, Bonus features include "How to Draw Mr. Tickle" (or "Little Miss Sunshine" on the other DVD); a find Mr. Tickle game; "Dance, Dance, Dance" a montage of the music videos which segue throughout the episodes, DVD ROM parts which work when inserted into a computer, and previews for unrelated Sony shows on DVD. A website is listed, Mr[...], with this disclaimer: "The publisher does not have any control over and does not assume any responsibility for third-party websites and their content." A reminder not to let kids surf the Internet unsupervised.

This reviewer prefers cartoons to be released by the season, rather than volumes with just a few shows. But there's no denying the half dozen episodes on these discs, along with the enclosed storybook, in bright packaging, and at a reasonable price, will appeal to kids-- of all ages.

Our son loves to watch this. It is silly and entertaining, but has no educational value.

My 4 y/o son has just discovered Mr. Men, so adding this DVD to our collection was a great idea. This is a wonderful cartoon series complete with musical interludes. I'm now a fan!
