The Littles is an animated television series, originally produced between 1983 and 1985. It is based on the characters from
The Littles, a series of children's novels by
American author
John Peterson, the first of which was published in 1967. The series was produced for the
American broadcast network
ABC by a French/American/Canadian animation studio,
DIC Entertainment, and as standard practice for TV cartoons of the period, the animation production was outsourced overseas to the Japanese studio
TMS Entertainment. It was post-produced by a
Canadian Animation studio, Animation City Editorial Services.
