Little People is a stop-motion animated series produced by Egmont Imagination, based on the Fisher-Price toys. The series followed the adventures of Eddie and his frog, Freddie; Sarah Lynn, Eddie's sister; Michael; Maggie, and Sonya Lee.In the early 2010s, Fisher-Price announced a complete Continuity Reboot of the franchise on its website, now helmed by Genevieve Goings of Choo Choo Soul fame and produced by DHX Media, in cel-shaded CGI. Noticeably, this version retooled Eddie and introduced a new set of characters to replace the rest. This version also faced a slight genre shift as the episode became Web Original, only available from Fisher-Price's official video sources (i.e. their own website, and their Youtube channel).In March 2016, the show was spun back into a TV show and the 2013 brand was retired. The main child cast of the previous series returned (albeit with personality changes), along with two new additions, Jack and Emma. The series ran for two seasons and aired on Sprout weekdays at 7AM. In September 2017, the show was screwed over after Sprout rebranded to Universal Kids. The entire series is now available to stream on Youtube. No media adaptions of the franchise have been announced since.Not to be confused with short fantasy races, really short fantasy races, or an episode of The Twilight Zone (1959). | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
Little People / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: The title cards of the first two videos are just a black background with text. Later episodes would change it with a picture of the main character in a round border, the narrator reads out the title and music plays. The first episode has the narrator speaking more, compare to the ones after where he only narrates the opening and ending. Smiley never spoke in the first video. In the first three videos, Sarah Lynn is depicted as the depressed one of the group. They later change her to be the one who likes singing and dancing. | |

Off-Model: The claymation models of the characters have a visible neck compared to the toys and cartoon-style illustrations found on most of the merchandise, where the characters have no visible neck at all. Although this normally isn't a problem and most people don't realize it until they start examining stills from the claymation show carefully. | |
