00:00Here come the littles, always running to and fro. Here come the littles, they're living with you, don't you know?
00:18One day when Henry went away, the littles fell inside his suitcase, he later found his house to raise. When he opened his luggage and the littles jumped out, they've been the best friend ever since. He's left his secret in existence, inside the walls they've always been. You can't stop the littles, cause the littles don't stop.
00:48Hang on, Lucy! We're making 50 knots! Not so fast, Tom, look at what!
01:05Isn't this something, Tom? My folks bought it for me while they were in Japan.
01:11I sure wish I had a boat like that.
01:22Tom Little, you're always thinking of yourself. It's almost Grandpa Little's birthday and we haven't found a present for him yet. Have you got any ideas what we could get him, Henry?
01:31Gosh, Lucy, I don't know. How old is he? Oh, he's pretty old. Gee, I wonder what it's like to be Grandpa's age. Do you think that has anything to do with why he's been looking so unhappy lately?
01:43Could be what we need is a present that'll cheer him up. Great idea, Henry! But what?
01:50There's someone at the front door. Stay here, I'll be right back. Stay close to the vent, Lucy. It pays to be safe.
01:56Hi, Henry. I thought you'd like to see my new dog. Isn't he great?
02:01Lucy!
02:05Call off your dog, Regis!
02:25Call him off what, Henry?
02:28On my boat. He's gonna show up my new speedboat.
02:33Spencer! Here, fella.
02:39Right now, Lucy!
02:45No! Stop! Please just call off your dog!
02:48Spencer! Gosh, I'm sorry, Henry. He's never acted like this before.
02:56Did he hurt anything, Henry?
02:58No. But before he does, what do you say we get out of here and go to the park?
03:02Another minute and we would have been Little's dog chow.
03:11Never mind that. We still haven't figured out what to get Grandpa Little for his birthday.
03:16Hmm. I know! Let's ask Dinky!
03:19Dinky!
03:20What?
03:28Dinky, what are you doing?
03:33What does it look like I'm doing? I'm creating! I call it the art of flying. Get it? Art? Flying? Hey! Let go my pencil, you stupid ceiling! Wait! Not yet! Oh, no! Whoa!
03:48I guess it's back to the drawing board!
03:53Get it, Dinky? Pencil? Drawing board?
03:54Dinky, pencil? Drawing board?
03:56Very funny!
03:58Seriously, Dinky, we need your help!
03:59Yeah, we can't think of what to get Grandpa Little for his birthday!
04:03Why, that's easy! How about a slightly used pogo pencil?
04:09Model airplane?
04:10Uh-uh.
04:11A kite?
04:12Hmm.
04:13We need to find something special. Something that'll make him happy.
04:16Oh, no!
04:17Oh, no!
04:18Oh, no!
04:19Oh, no!
04:20Oh, no!
04:21Oh, no!
04:22Oh, no!
04:23Oh, no!
04:24Oh, no!
04:25Oh, no!
04:26Oh, no!
04:27Oh, no!
04:28Oh, no!
04:29Oh, no!
04:30Oh, no!
04:31Oh, no!
04:32Oh, no!
04:33Oh, no!
04:34A kite?
04:35Hmm.
04:36We need to find something special. Something that'll make him happier.
04:40Hmm.
04:41Come to think of it, he has been acting a bit grumpy lately.
04:45I know!
04:46How about a tennis racket?
04:48Grandpa doesn't play tennis!
04:50He doesn't?
04:51Well, he can always use it to swat flies.
04:54Aww.
04:56Uh, we'll never figure out what to get him.
04:59It's not our fault, Tom.
05:01Why, the only thing Grandpa Little doesn't have is a Grandma Little.
05:05Of course!
05:06A Grandma Little!
05:08Why didn't we think of it?
05:09Uh, think of what?
05:11We'll get Grandpa a Grandma!
05:13It's a great idea, Tinky!
05:15It is?
05:16Sure!
05:17A friend his own age.
05:19That'll cheer him up.
05:20Let's go find someone.
05:22What's all excitement?
05:23Uh, nothing, Grandpa.
05:24Yeah, uh, we gotta be going.

05:26Hi, Slick.
05:27Hmm, something funny's going on.

05:37Uh, nothing, Grandpa.
05:38Yeah, uh, we gotta be going.

05:53Uh, nowhere, Grandma.
05:54I mean, Grandpa.
05:55That's right, uh, nowhere at all.

12:41No matter how far I go, I can't get rid of you, Birdbrain.
12:48Grandpa Little, you called me Birdbrain.
12:52I knew you'd come to your senses.
12:54Go on. I've made my decision.
12:57Leave me alone.
12:58But Grandpa, you've got to come home.
13:01We need you.
13:08Don't bother lying to me.
13:09I can read the writing on the wall.
13:12Wall? What wall?
13:14So long, Dinky.
13:16There are some things a man can only find alone.
13:25It sounds like he knows about the gold.
13:28Follow him.
13:29I guess finding a Grandma Little wasn't such a good idea after all.
13:33I suppose not.
13:35Let's go home, Tom.
13:36Excuse me, but would either of you happen to know where I can find an inexpensive hotel?
13:42I'm new here in Grand Valley, and I...
13:45She looks like Grandpa's age.
13:46And she seems nice enough.
13:49Are you married?
13:50I beg your pardon?
13:51Are you lonely?
13:52Well, why, certainly not.
13:55I have lots of friends.
13:57But I thought you said you were new in town.
13:59Yes, but I have relatives.
14:02Oh, what's the use?
14:04We'll never find a Grandma for Grandpa Little.
14:06Hmm, just a moment.
14:14Now, what was that about finding a Grandma Little?
14:17Oops.
14:26Shh!
14:26You'll ruin the surprise.
14:34He's probably in his bedroom.
14:36Come on.
14:37Grab a little.
14:38We've got a surprise.
14:40Poor you.
14:44He's not here.
14:45What's the matter?
14:47It's Grandpa.
14:48He's gone.
14:52Looks like he left a note.
14:56Grandpa needs help.
14:58Come to Big Lake.
15:01Urgent.
15:02Signed, Dinky.
15:04Oh, no!
15:05Come on, Lucy.
15:09Aren't you forgetting about someone?
15:11Oh, yeah.
15:12I guess we won't be needing a Grandma Little.
15:15Thanks, anyway.
15:17Not so fast.
15:18I have a date with your Grandpa, and I always keep my dates.
15:22Come on.
15:25Grandpa Little!
15:27Grandpa Little!
15:28Oh, now I'll never find him.
15:30Why didn't I just tell him that Grandma Little was supposed to be his birthday present?
15:34I might have ruined the surprise, but at least I wouldn't have ruined his life.
15:41My goggles are fogging.
15:43I can't see a thing.
15:45There.
15:45That's better.
15:46Now I can see that giant frog as if it were right in front of my face.
15:51Frog!
15:52Frog!
15:52Frog!
15:53Frog!
15:53Frog!
15:53Frog!
15:54Frog!
15:54Frog!
15:54Frog!
15:55Frog!
15:55Frog!
15:56Frog!
15:56Frog!
15:57Frog!
15:58Frog!
15:58Frog!
15:59Frog!
15:59Frog!
16:00Frog!
16:01Frog!
16:02Frog!
16:03Oh, we made it!
16:04I sure wish we could have asked Henry about borrowing his boat.
16:08He'll understand, Tom.
16:09Tom!
16:10Tom!
16:11Lucy!
16:12Hop aboard!
16:13Wow, where'd you learn to do that?
16:26Me?
16:27Why, I used to teach water skiing at the Littles Marina when I was younger.
16:32Okay, Tom, shove off!
16:34Aye-aye, Captain.
16:36Gee, I hope Dinky and Grandpa are all right.
16:39Don't worry, Lucy, there's nothing to be afraid of.
16:42Help!
16:44Monster!
16:45Monster!
16:49Whoa!
16:58Hi there.
16:59Dinky!
17:00Dinky!
17:01We came as soon as we read your note.
17:03Did you find Grandpa?
17:04He found me.
17:06In fact, he saved me from the monster.
17:08Then he disappeared again.
17:12What was that?
17:13I think we hit something.
17:19It's just a boat.
17:22That's not just a boat.
17:24It's Grandpa Little's boat.
17:26He must have been swallowed by the monster.
17:31Oh, Grandma Little, he's gone!
17:34Oh, there, there, dear.
17:43You're not gonna get our gold, old man.
17:45I don't know what you're talking about.
17:47I'm not after any gold.
17:48That's ridiculous.
17:49That's what they all say.
17:51Come on, Grogan.
18:03So long, Regis.
18:04See you Monday.
18:06Tom.
18:08Lucy.
18:09I'm back.
18:10I'm back. I'm back.
18:19Grandpa needs help. Come to Big Lake. Urgent. They took my boat.
18:27But not the control box.
18:31Grandpa Little! Grandpa, where are you?
18:35Grandpa Little! Grandpa Little! If you can hear me, say something! Anything!
18:45It's no use.
18:47Your grandpa wouldn't give up on you, Lucy.
18:53Grandpa! Grandpa!
18:59I think we hit something.
19:01It's the gold, right where we buried it.
19:05Grandpa! Can you hear me?
19:08Someone's coming. Hurry!
19:17Over here!
19:19It's Grandpa Little!
19:20It came from that direction.
19:23Hurry, Tom!
19:24Piggy! I'm over!
19:30Get away from me, you good for nothing!
19:33Land home!
19:36Grandpa Little must be on that island!
19:46Go back!
19:47Go back!
19:48Where's Little?
19:50Don't anybody make a move or you'll all be sorry.
19:54Grab the gold, Grogan. We'll take their speedboat.
20:04Wait! You can't leave us here. We'll starve! The frogs will eat us!
20:08That's just what I had in mind.
20:09We're down!
20:10Yeah!
20:11In a few minutes, we'll be all free!
20:13And filthy rich!
20:14Hey! This boat's gone crazy!
20:15What's going on here?
20:16We're down!
20:17We're down!
20:18Hey!
20:19Hey!
20:33What?
20:34What?
20:35What?
20:36What?
20:37Oh!
20:38Hey, this boat's going crazy.
20:42What's going on here?
20:47Oh, no, help!
20:50Oh, big!
20:51No, what's wrong with the boat?
20:53I can't hold on!
20:56Hey, what are you doing with my speedboat?
21:01You'd better tell me where Grandpa Little and the others are.
21:05They're on the island.
21:06They're on the island!
21:06Don't hurt us! Please, let us go!
21:10Not until I know the others are safe.
21:16No one will ever find us out here.
21:18We're as good as God.
21:21If we put our minds together, we'll find a solution.
21:24You said it.
21:30It's Harry!
21:32Is everyone all right?
21:33I don't know about them, but I'm just fine.
21:35Boy, there's nothing to be afraid of out here.
21:38Ribbit.
21:40No!
21:48We're sorry you misunderstood, Grandpa Little.
21:51I'm the one who should be sorry.
21:53I thought you two didn't love me anymore because of my age.
21:57But coming after me the way you did shows me how much you care.
22:02Grandpa, we love you no matter how old you are.
22:06Yeah, we just wanted to surprise you with the best present in the whole world.
22:10I think that's me.
22:12What better present could there be than a new friend?
22:17Why two old friends, of course?
22:19Happy birthday, Grandpa!
22:20Can we eat now?
22:26Hey, Henry, how about taking us to the movies?
22:44I don't have any money, Dinky.
22:46But I know how we can make our own movie projector.
22:48Wow, that'd be great, Henry.
22:52All we need is an empty shoebox, a pair of safety scissors, a comic book, and a flashlight.
22:57I still don't get it, Henry.
22:59How does it work?
23:00It's easy, Dinky.
23:02All we do is cut a small hole in one end of the shoebox.
23:04That's what we look through.
23:06Now we cut two slits, one on each side of the shoebox, wide enough to slide the cartoon strip through.
23:11And then we cut a small two-inch square on the lid behind the two slits on the sides.
23:16Oh, I get it.
23:18The hole on the lid is where the light shines through.
23:25Hey, Dinky, where are you going?
23:27I'm going to get some popcorn.
23:41We are the Littles
23:44Take a squiggle, go and throw
23:47We are the Littles
23:51We're living with you, don't you know
23:54We keep a secret from the outside
23:57Come at the pick, we gotta hide
24:00We use a pencil for a slide
24:03You can't tap the Littles, cause the Littles don't stop
