A 3-episode 3DCGI Original Video Animation in 2007 based on the Franchise of the same name, Sylvanian Families is what you get when you combine Slice of Life stories with Talking Animals and a helping of sugar. Basically made in a different concept than the Western Animation counterpart but also made (at least in part) to cash in with the franchise it's based on, each of the stories were done accurately to the series's original concept, with a little deep surreal moments and regarding magic in between. The plot of the series varies from silly to being serious. This is the first anime to be based on the franchise (despite its Japanese origins) although the 1987 DiC TV series had been made with Japanese staff.The series is animated by Dyna Method and directed by Akira Takamura of Kirby: Right Back at Ya! and (believe it or not) Neon Genesis Evangelion, written by Hiroko Okada, produced by both Koji Kawaguchi of Doki Doki! PreCure and Yumiko Murai and songs composed by Koichiro Kameyama. All three episodes were released in the same date of June 20, 2007. Two years later, on Febuary 16, 2009, HiT Entertainment released a compilation of all three episodes on a single DVD in the UK.Each episodes as follows (official English title in square brackets):Heart Pounding Mischief Magic [Magic Tricks]The first OVA episode. It focuses on Rebecca and her friends trying to do a revenge prank on Buster, a fox whose magic causes trouble to the other Sylvanian friends. Thought he fell for it, he soon helps everyone to amend his mistakes.The Longingly Princess [Dreaming of Princess]The second OVA episode. This one involves Saffron's disagreement with her father's inventions driving her nuts. And also being a princess for the school's annual school play, in which she had problems. But she had a little help.The Gift of the Shooting Star [Legend of the Comet]The third and final OVA episode. It involves Rebecca and her friends finding the fragments of the Silvery Comet which landed on Acorn Mountain. Thought hilarity ensures that this is more of an expedition. | |

| Sylvanian Families / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier In the end of the first OVA, the kids pretended that they were invisble and Buster thinks they were in trouble. In reality they're just hiding from him, and pretending they're hurt or injured. Until Peirs got to scared on being invisible that he blew their cover. The entire third OVA is this, basically an expedition for the fragments of the comet turned a little grim. | |

Compilation Rerelease: The UK was lucky to later see a DVD release where all three 2007 OVAs were combined into a single DVD (even if it meant losing the Japanese audio track and waiting two years). The other regions were not lucky. | |

| Sylvanian Families / int_e2c4b927 | comment |
Dub Name Change: No doubt the series is guilty of this, to the extent where a lot of the characters have different names in different regions. Even in the International English version, they can't seem to make up their minds on whether to use the International English names or English transliterations of the Japanese names (i.e., in some of the International English shorts, Freya is referred to as Chocolate Rabbit Girl). | |

| Sylvanian Families / int_ed8d9a50 | comment |
Cosmetic Catastrophe: in the short Getting Ready. What do you expect when some kids get their hands on their mom's cosmetics set? Kudos to the animation studio for managing to make it hilarious and terrifying at the same time thanks to a combination of a sudden reveal and strategic use of the vertigo effectnote The only other times these tropes are combined are in horror flicks. | |
