Mr Men

Here is the first animated incarnation of Roger Hargreaves' Mr. Men!



Mr. Men is a series of 49 children's books by Roger Hargreaves. The series features characters with names such as Mr. Tickle and Mr. Happy who have personalities and physical attributes based on their names. An accompanying series of 42 Little Miss books by the same author, but with female characters, were published.
Each book in the original Mr. Men and Little Miss series introduced a different title character and his/her single dominant personality to convey a simple moral lesson. The Mr. Men and Little Miss characters frequently reappeared in other characters books.
The Mr. Men characters were adapted into two animated television series in 1974 that consisted of a total of 28 episodes.
The voices and narration were provided by Arthur Lowe, well known from his role as Captain Mainwaring in the sitcom Dad's Army, who used regional accents for some of the characters.
