||
⚫ | |||
− | * He is one of the 13 characters with no visible nose. |
||
⚫ | |||

||
− | * |
+ | * He appears to be shorter in height than he was in the books. |
+ | * He, along with [[Little Miss Curious]], [[Little Miss Bossy]], and [[Mr. Funny]] have never appeared in the show's opening sequence nor were featured on official website. |

||
⚫ | |||

||
+ | *The back of his design was leaked a month prior to the second season's premiere on Dagan Moriarty's animation reel on YouTube. |

||
− | * It is unknown if he will get more talking lines as the show was cancelled after the show's episode finale, Pests. |
||
− | * He has been seen with every character in the episode, Surprises (with an exception of Little Miss Calamity who never appeared in the second season). |
||
− | * He hasn't appeared on the website yet for reasons that he hasn't said his name and hasn't had a scene where he was the center of attention and he just appears in background scenes. |
||
− | * He was shown shouting "Surprise!" in the episode, Surprises. |
||
− | * His quotes so far in the episode, Travel were "Hello down there!" (when arriving at the hut), "Ooh a bunkbed!" (when he walks in), "Can I have the top bunk?", "Oh, I was sure it was a banana!" in the UK version/"Huh, I could have sworn it was a banana!" in the US version (when the lights go out and he steps on Mr. Fussy's foot by accident), "You don't want to see this!" in the UK version/"Aw man you don't want to see this!" in the US version (when a flood picks up their cabin) and "I got some bad news, we're at the edge of that cliff!"

(when Mr. Fussy nearly falls out of the cabin), "Aw man baby, aw man!" (when the cabin falls to the ground and gets destroyed after it crashes) and "Look on the bright side, Mr. Fussy, we've still got 5 days left of holiday!" in the UK version/"Look on the bright side, Mr. Fuzzy, we've still got 5 days left of vacation!" in the US version (when Mr. Fussy claims that he has a splinter in his bottom from the wood from the cabin). |
||
− | * He pronounced Mr. Fussy's name incorrectly as Mr. Fuzzy in the US version of the episode, Travel. At least the European version of the episode, Travel has him pronouncing his name correctly. |
||
− | * He only says a few lines in "The Mr. Men Show". The reason why he only he spoke in one episode is because he is a side gag, which means the creator of the show couldn't think of very many plots to have him in. |
||
− | * He was seen working in Miss Whoops's toy factory in the episode, Toys. |

Story
Mr. Tall dislikes his oversized legs. He meets Mr. Small, and when Mr. Small goes for a swim, Mr. Tall can't, but Mr. Greedy, Mr. Nosey and Mr. Tickle teach him that oversized body parts can be helpful. Mr. Tall decides his long legs are great for walking, and while Mr. Tall made it home quickly, Mr. Small took a year to get home. He is now happy.
The Mr. Men Show
Mr. Tall appeared in the second season of The Mr. Men Show. He has the same looks but his body is darker blue. He also wears a dark brown floating crooked hat with a yellow band around it and the curls and the shoelaces on his shoes are no longer visible. Like Little Miss Curious, Mr. Tall acted mostly as a background character, however he had a role in the first segment of Travel, going on a disastrous cabin vacation with Mr. Fussy, Mr. Messy, and Mr. Strong. Mr. Tall is voiced by Godfrey in US and Keith Wickham in UK.
Trivia
- Early publications of Mr. Tall had him shown on the left hand side of the cover. In the mid 1990's, he was moved to the right. This was most likely due to the Egmont World logo being included on the left hand side of the books.
- Earlier versions of Mr. Tall's cassette which was released by CYP Ltd. had Douglas Blackwell saying "and he went off looking for something to be nosey about" twice. Later editions had him only say it once.
Mr. Men and Little Miss trivia
- His legs are more thicker and are shown being separated, unlike in the books.
- In the US version of Mr. Men and Little Miss, he speaks with a Texan accent.
- The only time he had his shoes off was in the episode A Surprise for Mr. Tall.
- In the 90's Christmas Special, when he was putting up a Christmas tree, he and the tree were a lot taller.
The Mr. Men Show trivia
- First appearance: Driving (in cameo and non-speaking)
- First speaking role: Travel
- He appears to be shorter in height than he was in the books.
- He, along with Little Miss Curious, Little Miss Bossy, and Mr. Funny have never appeared in the show's opening sequence nor were featured on official website.
- His hat has been seen without him as shown in the episode Clocks where it is seen on a coat hanger by Mr. Noisy's stairs and in the episode Surprises where it is seen on Mr. Rude when he goes to Mr. Quiet's house.
- The back of his design was leaked a month prior to the second season's premiere on Dagan Moriarty's animation reel on YouTube.
