Story
Mr.Tall in the books
Mr. Tall hates his oversized legs. He meets Mr. Small, and when Mr. Small goes for a swim, Mr. Tall can't, but three other Mr. Men 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.
The Mr. Men Show
Mr. Tall has been confirmed for the second season of The Mr. Men Show. He has the same looks but is darker blue. He also wears a hat (almost similar to Mr. Grumpy's) which is brown (also appears dark red) with a yellow stripe and the curls and the shoelaces on his shoes are no longer visible. In Season 2 he was completely mute until Travel. Mr. Tall is voiced by Godfrey in US and Keith Wickham in UK. .
