The Littles: The Big Scare (1983)
Trying to be in the cool crowd
Peer Pressure. Henry finds a cool group of boys, a group he wants to join. The only thing to be a part of their gang is that Henry must stay all night in a creepy old "Haunted House" alone, until morning. If he doesn't stay all night, he won't be able to join their gang. Lucy and Tom hear that there is more to it than that: The boys secretly discuss that they are going to the house in order to scare Henry so he will run home, and fail to join their club. When Tom and Lucy try to tell Henry, it's too late, and he's already on his way to the house. While Henry is getting settled in for the night, the boys come to scare him away with tape recorded scary sounds and other tricks. Tom and Lucy fly with Dinky and Grandpa in Dinky's plane to warn Henry, but will they reach him in time?
The Littles (1983)
One of the few cartoons of it's time that wasn't trying to sell you toys
I love Transformers, G. I. Joe, and all the other Toy-Toons, but this cartoon was and still is a beautiful gem in the midst of the commercial-toons. Every day I'd watch this cartoon, learning a valuable lesson, and enjoying a heartwarming laugh or two with the Littles.
The cartoon centers around the adventures of little people living in the walls of the home of the Bigs, and only the son, Henry, knows about them. The topics range from peer pressure to hero-worship, even dealing with driving intoxicated, which seems like a bold move for a cartoon of the 1980s, in my opinion. I highly recommend watching it with your children because you will enjoy it as much as they will.
