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 man ever since. He's got his secret insistence, inside the walls they've always been. You can't stop the littles, cause the littles don't stop.
00:48Trick-or-treat!
01:07Trick-or-treat!
01:11Trick-or-treat!
01:13I don't know if this shortcut is such a good idea, Grandpa. I would have preferred to go home another way.
01:27Nonsense, Dinky. It's perfectly safe, and it'll save us a lot of time. What are you scared of?
01:32Everything! It's Halloween, remember? There are probably Groolies all around us.
01:38Groolies? You're too old to believe in Boogeyman like that. Though I guess you're not too smart to. There's no such thing as Groolies.
01:46Oh yeah? Then what are those?
01:50Groolies! Help! Help! Help! It's got me! Help!
02:02What's going on here?
02:04Trick-or-treat, Grandpa!
02:09What are you kids doing here?
02:15We followed you!
02:17It's Halloween, so we thought we'd show you our costumes. Were you scared, Dinky?
02:21Me? Of course not! I knew it was you!
02:24Then why'd you run into that cobweb?
02:26I thought I'd give my feet a rest!
02:28Whoa!
02:30Luke, why don't you give your mouth a rest instead?
02:36I don't like coming this far in a towel jacket. It's spooky!
02:44Rich is right. Let's go back.
02:46Don't tell me you two are scared.
02:48Well, no. It's just that...
02:50Look!
02:53A black cat! They're bad luck!
02:55Yeah! Stop!
03:00It's awful spooky. You're sure this is safe, Grandpa?
03:03Normally it is. There's nothing to be afraid of here. These old superstitions are making you kids nervous, that's all.
03:10C-Grandpa's right. There's n-n-nothing to be scared of here. Try to be calm, like me!
03:17Yike! Yike!
03:24If that's calm, I'd hate to see him excited.
03:27Look out! Get back!
03:34ABC now returns to The Littles.
03:48Cool! We're gonna be cat food!
03:54Good thinking, Dinky! Cats hate water! You scared them away!
04:11I did? I mean, I did. Obviously. Water. Nothing to it. Come on!
04:17Come on!
04:24Why'd you bring us out here, Jack?
04:26Yeah, there aren't any houses on this street.
04:28You're wrong, guys. There's that one!
04:31Whoa!
04:32You gotta be kidding. I'm not going up there. The old man who lives there is a magician. He changes kids into cats. That's why the house is full of them.
04:47Ah, that's just superstition.
04:49No, it's not. Everybody knows it. It's not a joke.
04:52Listen, guys. You do what you want, but I'm going back home.
04:55Ah!
04:57Hi, Henry!
05:18Hi, guys. How was your Halloween?
05:20We had an exciting time trick-or-treating. We almost got eaten by a cat.
05:28Yeah? Well, I almost got turned into a cat.
05:31What? How?
05:32Well, there's this old man in this house, see, who can change people into cats.
05:36And the old man's a magician. And he changes people into cats. And Littles into mice. And the house is full of gruelies. And Henry told you all this?
05:46Well, not all of it.
05:49Superstitious nonsense. I'll bet my tailies know more of a magician than I am.
05:54Oh, no, Grandpa. Everybody knows the old man's a magician.
05:58Cousin Zachary has been living in that house for years, and he hasn't been turned into a rat.
06:03Are you sure, Grandpa?
06:05Sure, I'm sure. I'll prove it.
06:12Hello, Central.
06:13Hello, Central.
06:14This is Grandpa Little calling Cousin Zachary.
06:20One moment, please. Go ahead.
06:23Hello? Cousin Zachary? Hello?
06:26Strange. He's not answering.
06:29I knew it. I told you. The magician turned him into a mouse.
06:34I'll turn you into a mouse if you don't pipe down.
06:37Come on. I'll prove he's all right. We're going over there.
06:41But, but, but, but wait. Hold it.
06:44I just know I'm gonna regret this.
06:50Henry!
06:51Henry!
06:52Henry!
06:53Henry!
06:54Henry!
07:02Henry!
07:03What is it, Jack?
07:04Come on out. We're gonna see if that old man really can turn kids into cats.
07:09What is it, Jack?
07:19Come on out.
07:20We're going to see if that old man really can turn kids into cats.
07:24Well, it's after seven, and I...
07:26If my parents find out, I'll really be in trouble.
07:29Sounds like somebody already turned you into a cat, Henry.
07:32A scaredy cat.
07:35Okay.
07:36I'll be right down.
07:39Okay, Grandpa.
07:48I've seen enough.
07:49You're right.
07:50There's nothing to be afraid of.
07:54Glad to hear you say so, Dinky.
07:57Superstition can cause a lot of trouble.
08:02So there's really no such thing as gruelies, Grandpa?
08:05Right.
08:06And the same goes for ghosts, witches, demons.
08:12Yikes!
08:13But not for bats!
08:21Stop, you moron!
08:22It can't hurt you!
08:25Look out!
08:27Shoo!
08:28Get away!
08:28Grandpa!
08:33Dinky!
08:36It's a good thing I'm not superstitious, Dinky.
08:39Uh, why's that, Grandpa?
08:40Because if I were, I'd say you were a jinx.
08:46The flag's down.
08:48That means Zachary's home.
08:49Cousin Zachary, how's every little... thing?
09:10Well, this is Zachary's hat.
09:12What happened?
09:13It must have been gruelies.
09:15I'll bet the old magician sent them here.
09:17Right, Grandpa?
09:18I don't know.
09:20But we're going to find out.
09:21Come on.
09:23I've got a bad feeling about this, Slick.
09:26Hey, here.
09:32Wow.
09:32Look at all those books.
09:35Magic, chemistry, ancient religions.
09:37I knew it.
09:39I knew it.
09:39He must be a magician.
09:44Tom, look out!
09:49Yeah.
09:50Thanks, Lucy.
09:52I guess we'd better stay inside the walls while we look for Zachary.
09:59Sure, Grandpa.
10:00It looks safe in here.
10:02Okay, now what?
10:17Now we get to the bottom of this.
10:22Look.
10:22What is it?
10:27It's magic.
10:28He's going to change us into cats.
10:32According to my careful calculations,
10:36we must be near the old man's bedroom.
10:39Maybe Zachary's in there.
10:40Listen.
10:41Oh.
10:48What is it, Grandpa?
10:50Only one way to find out what it is.
10:54Look and see.
11:02We're all going to be turned into mice.
11:13Let go of me, you idiot.
11:14Let go of me, Grandpa.
11:29It won't open, Grandpa.
11:31I'm sorry, kids,
11:33but I'm afraid you'll have to go for help.
11:35Henry will help us, Grandpa.
11:37Go back the way we came.
11:38It'll be safer.
11:39Okay.
11:40A spider!
11:45Get back!
11:46Down the hall!
11:47Hurry!
11:51Oh, no!
11:52Here comes magician!
11:59ABC now continues with The Littles.
12:02We're going to be turned into mice.
12:10Hide!
12:10Hide!
12:25Look, Abigail.
12:27The trap went off by itself.
12:29It doesn't matter.
12:31Who needs traps
12:33when I have all my friends
12:34to catch mice?
12:36Ha, ha, ha, ha!
12:48Grandpa, Dinky!
12:50Did you hear that?
12:51All his friends?
12:52I bet they all used to be kids.
12:54He called her Abigail.
12:57That's a girl's name.
12:58I'll bet she used to be a girl.
13:00Quit jumping to conclusions.
13:02That's how superstitions get started.
13:04Grandpa's right.
13:05And besides,
13:06we've got to find Henry.
13:07You kids be careful now
13:09and watch out for the cats.
13:11I wonder where Henry is.
13:13Wherever he is,
13:14he's better off than we are.
13:19Oh, that was close.
13:21Yeah,
13:22we would have been turned into cats
13:23just like those
13:24if we hadn't run.
13:25Come on,
13:26let's get out of here
13:26while we still can.
13:27Not me.
13:29I'm not scared.
13:30I'm gonna find out
13:30what's going on in there.
13:32Maybe there's a back way in.
13:33Come on, Rich.
13:34You're not gonna go, are you?
13:36We really shouldn't go in there
13:37without permission.
13:38I don't want him to think
13:39I'm chicken.
13:40What if we can't find Henry in time, Tom?
13:50Don't worry, Lucy.
13:51We'll find him.
13:53I just hope he knows what to do.
14:02Look, there's a window.
14:03Get back.
14:04There are too many cats
14:05for us to reach it.
14:09How are we going to get out of here?
14:12There are cats everywhere.
14:17If we can't go across the floor,
14:19we'll go under it.
14:21But it'll be too dark to see.
14:23Over there.
14:24If I can catch that firefly,
14:28we'll have light.
14:29You and Slick, run for the hole.
14:31I'll get the firefly.
14:33Be careful, big brother.
14:34Easy, little guy.
14:46I won't hurt you.
14:48Tom, run!
14:48Here comes the cat!
14:53Jump!
14:54Ready or not, here I come!
14:57Geronimo!
15:01Lucy, are you all right?
15:02Yeah.
15:03Golly, it's dark.
15:08Which way do we go?
15:09This way, I think.
15:16Good.
15:17It's open.
15:19Rich!
15:20What?
15:22Where's Jack?
15:23Inside.
15:24You going in?
15:25No.
15:26I don't think you should either.
15:27It's wrong,
15:28even if the old man is a magician.
15:30I guess you're right.
15:31Let's wait here.
15:33No.
15:58Run!
15:58Run!
15:59Run!
15:59Run!
15:59Run!
16:00Run!
16:01Run!
16:02What is it? What did you see?
16:04There were cats everywhere. He almost changed me into one.
16:07I'm getting out of here.
16:11Did you hear something?
16:12No. I didn't hear that, either.
16:27It's opening the cage, Grandpa. What are we gonna do?
16:32Oh, darn. This firefly sure is independable.
16:35It's okay, Lucy. It'll come back on in a minute. Just keep walking.
16:46Whoa! Lucy's out!
17:01There's a hole ahead. Hurry!
17:14That was close. Now we've gotta find Henry.
17:17That'll be a lot easier than we thought. Look!
17:20Hey, you guys, wait!
17:23Henry! Down here!
17:27Lucy! Tom!
17:28Boy, are we glad to see you!
17:30What are you guys doing here?
17:31It's a long story. We've gotta get back into that house
17:34and rescue Grandpa and Dinky from the trap.
17:37Yeah, before the magician changes them into mice.
17:40Go inside? Me?
17:43I don't know if I can do it. I'm scared.
17:45You've got to do it before it's too late.
17:47You've got to do it before it's too late.
18:04Grandpa, look!
18:05It's the biggest gruely of them all!
18:22They're upstairs!
18:52They're gone!
18:53The old man must have caught them!
18:54He's turning them into mice right now!
18:55I'll stop him!
18:56Henry! Look out!
18:57Henry! Look out!

23:01I'm over here, Dinky.
23:03This is my popsicle doll. I made it myself.
23:06That's great. How'd you do it?
23:08Follow me. I'll show you.
23:12All you do is take a pipe cleaner
23:14and shape it like two arms with little loops for hands.
23:17Then you wrap the arms onto half a popsicle stick
23:19with another pipe cleaner.
23:21The legs are made the same way.
23:24Oh, I get it. You make the head out of clay.
23:27Now all we do is cut the clothes out of scrap cloth
23:35and put them on with rubber bands.
23:37Now that's what I call a good-looking doll.
23:40Oh, Dinky.
23:54We are the littles
23:56Tails and squiggles go and throw
23:59We are the littles
24:02We're living with you, don't you know?
24:06We keep a secret from the outside
24:08Promise to pick we gotta hide
24:11We use a pencil for a slide
24:14You can't tell the littles
24:17But the littles don't stop
24:18You can't tell the littles, but the littles don't stop
