Literary Toons: The Lost City of The Littles (1983)

From season 1 of The Littles:

Henry Bigg (Jimmy Keegan) takes possession of a Little statue his parents found to keep it out of the hands of Dr. Erick Hunter (Ken Sansom), whose quest to capture the Littles actually is more scary than Gargamel chasing the Smurfs over on NBC.

Here's "The Lost City of The Littles":



Is it just me, or was Lucy crushing on Henry?

The arts & crafts segments and head writer Jeffrey Scott came over from Super Friends, which had used similar segments in the past. Scott wrote every episode in season 1, but then DIC brought in additional writers to ease the burden in season 2.

Jimmy Keegan would later shift his focus to music, and has been a drummer with bands like Santana. Like, who knew?

Rating: A-.
