The Littles was a popular animated television series that aired on ABC from 1983 to 1985. The show revolved around a family of tiny people, known as the Littles, who lived in the walls of a normal human house. The show was based on a series of children's books by John Peterson.

The Littles were the perfect example of a close-knit family. The head of the household was Grandpa Little, who was wise and kind-hearted. He was the one who always knew what to do when the family was in trouble. He was a great leader and was respected by all the other family members.

Grandpa Little had two young grandchildren, Tom and Lucy Little. They were always getting into trouble, but they always managed to find a way to escape unscathed. Their adventurous spirit was infectious, and it often led the rest of the family on wild escapades.

The mother of the family was Helen Little, who was caring and nurturing. She was the glue that held the family together and was always there to lend a helping hand when needed.

The father of the family was named Frank Little, and he was a firefighter. He was brave and daring and would often risk his life to save others. His job required him to be away from home for long periods of time, but he always made sure to stay in touch with his family.

The Littles also had a family pet, a mouse named Dinky. He was mischievous and always getting into trouble, but he was also very loyal to the family, and he would do anything to protect them.

The Littles had a number of human friends, as well as enemies. There was Dr. Hunter, the family's human friend who lived in the house they inhabited. He was always looking out for them and helping them whenever he could.

The Littles also had an enemy named Cousin Itt, who was a human and always causing trouble for the family. He was greedy and selfish, and he would stop at nothing to get what he wanted.

The animation style of The Littles was simple but effective. The characters were drawn in a way that made them look cute and appealing to children. The show had a lot of action and adventure, which kept the audience engaged.

The show had a strong sense of humor, which was a big part of its appeal. The characters would often get into funny situations, and the writers had a great sense of comedic timing. The show's humor was never crude or offensive, which made it suitable for all ages.

One of the things that made The Littles stand out was its positive themes. The show emphasized the importance of family, friendship, and loyalty. It also had a strong sense of morality, teaching children the importance of doing the right thing, even when it's not easy.

Overall, The Littles was a fun and engaging animated series that captured the hearts of children and adults alike. Its combination of action, humor, and positive themes made it a favorite among viewers. While the show may be over 35 years old, its timeless message continues to resonate with generations of fans.
