CommentsXp Best movie ever!
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
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!
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.
norman_degas It seems to me that recently, cartoons as a whole are not very good. But then I stumbled across this show. It's 20+ years old and it's gag-worthy. It's pretty stupid and the Littles are ugly with annoying voices. I don't know what compelled the WB to replay this show on Saturday mornings.I guess I can just sleep in.
Joseph Anthony Sobora This is DIC's first animated show (with the second being Inspector Gadget) and it first premiered in September of 1983 on ABC. This series focuses on one particular family of Littles - Grandpa, Mom and Dad, Dinky, and the two youngest: Tom and Lucy. In their quest to become productive adults, the Littles and their 12-year old huge friend Henry face the same kinds of problems that young children face every day - issues of friendship, jealousy, honesty, prejudice, consideration for others, kindness, responsibility, risk-taking ... and more. Each episode of the Littles focuses on one such issue, presenting it in explicit, concrete terms. And young, attractive characters with whom children can identify carry out these actions, they serve as excellent role models for young viewers. Younger and older children, boys and girls, loners and social butterflies...all can find a character with whom to identify and from whom to learn. And last but far from least, the character of Grandpa, a wise, experienced, older Little who clearly loves and cares for the Little kids, functions as the kind of non-threatening, non-didactic teacher to whom children respond. He frequently articulates the lesson inherent in the action as he interacts with and advises the Little children. He is the best kind of teacher. The exciting adventures of the Littles and the suspense generated by their frequent narrow escapes from Dr Hunter are designed to capture and hold young viewers' attention. The explicitness with which each lesson is articulated and role models with whom children can identify are designed to ensure that children note and understand the embedded pro-social content as they derive delight from the action. I definely remember watching this when it was on The Family Channel (I was 4 at the time)and later on Toon Disney. it was very funny and cute especially when Dinky was doing his own stunt show until it when out of control and went up to flames. Now that this show is currenly in syndication and on DVD, you'll be able to catch all the fun. Whenever you are big or little, it always a treat! From DIC Animation City, in association with ABC Productions (American Broadcasting Company). Joe's Rating: 4 stars.
