The Little Lulu Show is a fun animated TV series that brings the classic comic book character Little Lulu to life! Created by Marjorie Henderson Buell, Lulu is a clever and adventurous girl. This show first appeared on television in 1995 and ran until 1999. It was made by several companies, including CINAR Corporation and Golden Books Family Entertainment, working with channels like HBO and CTV. Later, TMO-Loonland Film also helped produce the show.

Adventures with Little Lulu and Friends

The show is all about the exciting life of Lulu Moppet, a super smart and quick-thinking girl. Lulu loves adventures and can often outsmart anyone, from her friends to grown-ups! She's always ready for something new, whether it's treasure hunting, solving a mystery, or just having fun with her pals.

Lulu's best friend is Tubby Tompkins, and they hang out with a whole gang of neighborhood kids. This group includes Alvin, Annie, and Willie. Together, they get into all sorts of interesting situations and learn new things.

Each episode of The Little Lulu Show is packed with fun! It usually has three different stories, called LuluToons. These stories are based on the original Little Lulu comic books. In between the main stories, Lulu herself hosts short stand-up comedy segments, making everyone laugh. There are also quick musical shorts called Lulu-Bites that add even more fun to the show.
