The Mr. Men Show (sometimes simply called Mr. Men) is a British/American animated television series based on the original Mr. Men and Little Miss books created in the late 20th century by British author Roger Hargreaves and his son Adam Hargreaves. Adapted from the published source material into a television variety program, The Mr. Men Show features comedy sketches (primarily), pantomimes, dance numbers and music videos. The TV series is directed by Mark Risley and executive produced by Eryk Casemiro with Kate Boutilier. Original score and songs are composed by Jared Faber.
The Mr. Men Show was produced in Los Angeles by Renegade Animation, who was well known for producing Cartoon Network's Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi, and Chorion in New York City and London.
Based on the classic children's book series Mr. Men and Little Miss, the show takes place in the town of Dillydale. The show revolves around the characters from the books (though some characters were made for the show) and their adventures. Unlike the books (which featured characters like Mr. Tickle, Mr. Brave, Mr. Happy, Little Miss Bossy, and Little Miss Sunshine as major characters), the TV show stars every character, but only a handful of them. Most episodes are not based on the books but are, in fact, new stories. There are also several changes in the TV show.
Some artistic license has been taken in adapting the books for television, including name changes, design alterations and the creation of entirely new characters. In 2008, Mr. Rude, Mr. Quiet, Mr. Strong, Mr. Grumpy, Mr. Fussy, Little Miss Naughty, Little Miss Whoops, Mr. Messy, Little Miss Helpful, Mr. Small, Mr. Nosey, Mr. Nervous, Mr. Lazy, Little Miss Magic, Mr. Tall, Little Miss Bossy, Mr. Funny and Little Miss Curious have undergone re-imaginings, (it should be noted in season 1 that Mr. Fussy was renamed Mr. Persnickety in the US broadcast and Mr. Pernickety in the UK broadcast). Little Miss Calamity and Little Miss Daredevil were created exclusively for the television series.
