Mr. Tall in the books

Mr Tall First Edition

Mr. Tall first edition

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

Tall transparent 2

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

  • Mr. Tickle is his best friend. (He was seen three times with him in the episodes, Mr. Bounce Finds Paradise, Little Miss Late Beats Them All, and The Joke Is On Miss Naughty) During the episode, Little Miss Late Beats Them All, Mr. Tall's leg and Mr. Tickle's arm were tangled so Little Miss Late untangled them, Also in this episode, they attempted to teach Mr. Mischief a lesson, but they accidentally did it to Mr. Bump instead.
  • His other best friends are Mr. Happy, Mr. Small, Mr. Fussy, Mr. Messy and Mr. Strong.
  • In the US version of Mr. Men and Little Miss, he speaks with a Texan accent.
  • He was seen carrying Mr. Small in Little Miss Splendid's Gift. He also made a cameo holding Little Miss Twins in the 1991 Christmas Special, and saved Mr. Small and Miss Tiny in Mr. Clever Flies His Kite.
  • The only time he had his shoes off was in the episode, A Surprise for Mr. Tall after Little Miss Magic made him small. (He was only bigger than Mr. Small and Little Miss Tiny.)
  • In the 90's Christmas Special, when he was putting up a Christmas tree, he and the tree were a lot taller.
  • 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.

The Mr. Men Show

  • 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 on the show's 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, it is seen on Mr. Rude when he goes to Mr. Quiets 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.
