The Littl' Bits (森の陽気な小人たち ベルフィーとリルビット, Mori no Yōki na Kobitotachi: Berufi to Rirubitto, lit. Cheerful Dwarves of the Forest: Belfy & Lillibit) is a Japanese anime television series with 26 episodes, produced in 1980 by Tatsunoko Production in Japan in cooperation with Tokyo Channel 12. The series' Saban-produced English translation was featured on the children's television station Nick Jr. from 1991 to 1995 alongside other children's anime series such as Adventures of the Little Koala, Maya the Bee, Noozles, and Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics. In the interim, the series also enjoyed popularity across Europe, the Middle East and the Spanish-speaking world.
Due to their similar size and naming scheme (a creation of the English dub; no such naming scheme existed in the original version), the Littl' Bits has been compared to the Smurfs.[2]
