The
Little Bits

The Little Bits describes the adventures of a race of tiny people who live in a simple village in Foothill Forest.

It focuses in particular on a group of children: Lillibit, Willibit, Snagglebit, Chip, and Browniebit.

Snagglebit, the spoiled son of the mayor, is enamored of the beautiful Lillibit, but she's best friends with Willibit, the moral role model and main protagonist.

Thus, even though they generally get along well, Willibit and Snagglebit often butt heads, especially over Lillibit.

Snagglebit usually pals around with the short-in-stature Browniebit, who is something of a coward, and Chip, who idolizes Lillibit's uncle, Dr. Snoozabit, and wants to be a doctor like him.

Another frequently recurring child character in The Little Bits is Teenybit, who befriends Scarybit, an ill-tempered, superstitious old woman assumed to be a witch and shunned by most of the other villagers.

Teenybit can see that, under Scarybit's tough exterior, she's just a lonely old lady who needs a friend.

The children are watched over by, and often scolded by, the older Littl' Bits, including the doctor Dr. Snoozabit, the wood-cutter Chopabit, the baker Bakeabit, Willibit's father Grumpabit, Helpabit, the elder Elderbit, Mayor Bossabit, and others. Snoozabit has a tendency to drink too much, forcing his young niece, Lillibit, to watch out for him and do her best to keep him on the right track.

Snoozabit has raised Lillibit since her infancy, and has always told her that her birth parents died shortly after she was born.

Not having a mother and father around occasionally depressed Lillibit, especially when she observed her friends having fun with their parents.

However, in the second-to-last episode of the series, it was revealed that Lillibit's parents were in fact alive and were outcast "Wanderbits," exiled from Foothill Forest.

In the end, the villagers decided to allow them to stay in Foothill Forest, and Lillibit and her parents were joyously reunited - just in time for a devastating earthquake to ravage Foothill Forest in the final episode, forcing the villagers to band together to rebuild.

They often take advantage of their animal friends for transportation, particularly Snuffly the flying squirrel and Blue the hedgehog.

The Little Bits espoused harmony between human beings and the animal kingdom.

The plot in every episode of the Little Bits had an important lesson for the young audience - amongst the important issues which were addressed in the series, were responsibility, patience, prejudice, hard work and the value of family and friends.
