Trivia[]
- The first appearances of Mr. Quiet, Mr. Rush (mentioned), Mr. Tall, Mr. Mischief, Mr. Clever and Mr. Slow on TV.
- This was the first series based on Mr. Men to be released in the United States. Later on, five episodes of the 1975 Mr. Men series would be released to VHS there in 1987.
- Unlike the series before it, the episodes are more loosely based on the books.
- In Little Miss Late, the dance she was late for is moved to the beginning instead of the end.
- In Little Miss Naughty, Mr. Clever's role is replaced by Mr. Greedy, the part where she tries to trip Mr. Busy is replaced with her trying to scare Mr. Jelly, the tricks Mr. Impossible plays on her are changed and there is an extra bit with Mr. Mean where she goes to a restaurant called "Muddles" and sends the bill to him, to replace Mr. Bump.
- Because of this, Mr. Bump only cameos in this and Mr. Clever only appears in Little Miss Trouble.
- Unlike the books Mr. Worry appeared in 2 of the Little Miss stories, in Little Miss Naughty he replaces Mr. Small, in Little Miss Trouble, Mr. Worry is used to frame Mr. Small.
- The ending to Little Miss Plump is extended.
- In Little Miss Bossy, Wilfred the Wizard is traditionally human shaped and isn't referred to by his name. Also, Mr. Nosey is replaced by Mr. Chatterbox, and Little Miss Sunshine replaced Mr. Happy.
- Mr. Mischief and Mr. Dizzy appear in Little Miss Shy.
- For reasons unknown, the worm and a snail appear in Little Miss Tiny.
- When Miss Trouble gives the answer to what Mr. Small calls Mr. Snooty, Mr. Clever and Mr. Worry behind their backs, she whispers instead of saying the word out loud.
- Mr. Topsy-Turvy appears in Little Miss Late.
- There is an added scene in Little Miss Helpful where she goes to see in the wizardโs book how to shrink Mr. Tall, and it works! Mr. Small shows up and says Mr. Tall is as small as he is. When Miss Helpful tries to make him tall again, she forgets the magic spell.
- Mr. Slow appears in Little Miss Scatterbrain.
- In the book of Little Miss Magic, it is only mentioned that Mr. Mean, Mr. Greedy, Little Miss Sunshine, Mr. Quiet, Little Miss Plump and Little Miss Shy were being tickled, unlike in the TV episode where they are shown. In Little Miss Magic's book, after shrinking Mr. Tickle's arms, Mr. Happy took her to a restaurant called "Smilers." In the episode, they went to get ice cream with Little Miss Magic using her magic to call an ice cream truck and they ordered to raspberry ripples.
- In Little Miss Trouble, instead of being punched, Mr. Snooty, Mr. Clever (and Mr. Worry who was absent in the original book)) startle Mr. Small while he was working in the sweet shop, causing him to fall over backwards and hurt his foot hard.
- In the 1983 cartoon, Little Miss Greedy has her original title, Little Miss Plump.
- In the US dub, some of the dialogue is very different. For example, in Little Miss Trouble, in the UK version, when Walter sees her, he says "Oh watch it, here comes trouble!", in the US dub, he instead says "Uh oh, here comes trouble!", in addition, before the worm goes down into his hole in the UK version, he groans. In the US version, he simply says "Good-bye!".
- This is the first time Mr. Tall became short. (The other times he became short was in "Little Miss Splendid's Gift" and "A Surprise For Mr. Tall")
- Three of the characters were angry in the 8th episode.
- Mr. Forgetful, Mr. Fussy and Mr. Bounce appear during the ending song despite not appearing in any of the episodes themselves. The reason for this is because when the series was originally aired on the BBC, the Mr. Men shown on there were the ones that were mentioned on the song, despite Mr. Small also appearing in the song.
- The Icelandic dub doesn't translate the titles of the episodes or the songs.
- There were also intermissions that played between episodes.
