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 was helmed by industry veteran Rick Siggelkownote of The Noddy Shop and Shining Time Station fame and 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 (Egmont) / 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.

Fear Is Normal: In "Roar in the Face of Fright", Eddie has the hiccups, so the others try to scare him to cure him, despite his insistence that he's afraid of nothing. Leonard and the kids sing a brief song called "Everyone's Scared of Something", but Eddie is revealed to have a Fear of Thunder. Sofie tells him that it's nothing to ashamed of. Leonard suggests roaring back at the thunder, and Eddie soon realizes his hiccups have gone away.

Art Evolution: Between the launch and the 2016 reboot, the design of the characters has changed numerous times, often very drastically, if they weren't outright put on the bus. Even the switch from the 2013 reboot webseries to the 2016 Sprout series saw changes in the character designs (most noticeably with Sofie) to the franchise.
