Trivia

  • This is the first TV appearance of Mr. Rude, Little Miss Scary, and Little Miss Whoops.
  • The show was originally going to premiere in October 2007 and its timeslot was 4pm EST, but was pushed back for reasons unknown. Its timeslot would eventually become 9am EST.
  • Two of the show's characters, Little Miss Calamity and Little Miss Daredevil, were created exclusively for the television series.
    • The former character, however, only appeared in the first season, as the production company of the show, Chorion, for an unknown reason, didn't like her.[1]
  • Little Miss Scatterbrain and Little Miss Stubborn have had their genders reassigned to become Mr. Scatterbrain and Mr. Stubborn due to the fact that the writers wanted the female characters to remain mostly positive.[2]
  • None of the character's catchphrases (except for Mr. Noisy's and Little Miss Whoops') are lines from their original books.
  • The entire show uses the Ed Interlock font. The opening and closing credits use Ed Gothic.
  • The series was animated by Renegade Animation for Cartoon Network/Channel 5 and Chorion.
  • There were 104 episodes with 52 from season 1 and 2 each.
  • The show's simplistic art style was inspired by UPA animation.[3]
  • There is a live show that has been held in some countries including Singapore, as seen here.
  • This show was one of the only shows on Milkshake in the UK not to be affected by Viacom's takeover of Channel 5 in 2014, with others including Peppa Pig and Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom.
  • Little Miss Twins and Little Miss Fickle were planned to be in the series, but they were scrapped because Cartoon Network did not want too many female characters even though the show only had 19 Mr. Men. The show's Little Misses consisted of 12 (minus 1 due to Little Miss Calamity's absence). Also, a character named Little Miss Fabulous was also considered being created for the series before the books' Little Miss Fabulous was created in 2016.
  • Little Miss Fun appeared as a character in several pieces of official merchandise looking relatively the same, but she was unused in the series itself. Mark Risley confirmed that she wasn't meant to be a character.
  • Little Miss Trouble was also going to appear but was replaced with Little Miss Naughty

Reception

The series has become a huge cult classic in recent years, and is considered to be one of Cartoon Network's most beloved forgotten shows.
