Jeremy! Thanks so much for this catch! Will remedy.

hello!
I'm really happy to know that the mr. men show is going to to be done! Could you tell us who is going to animate it?

[Aaron H. Bynum]

The site looks really good... I'm especially glad and interested in the fact that a distinct sense of interactivity was integrated into the site's functionality.

I was VERY excited to see that the Mr. Men and Little Miss were going to be on tv, even though I am not sure if I get that channel in Canada. I have ALWAYS loved them and am a collector of Mr. Men and Little Miss things. I am a little disappointed though in the animation. They look different, not like in the books or like they did when the site was up before. And why can we only meet about 5 of the characters on the site? I hope that the show features just the original characters created by Roger Hargreaves and not some of the new ones like Mr. Cool and Little Miss Bad. As well I find the voices a little strange, they dont seem to go with the characters but that wouldnt bother me as much if the animation matched how they looked in the books. I am excited to see the show none the less.

Hey Sandra! The show is being animated by Renegade Animation in LA. Thanks for your question. Keep 'em coming! K

[Kurt]

Thanks for writing. Because this is a website, the characters are not fully animated. Lots of things like lip flaps, for example, will look very different on the actual show. This is really just an approximation of what the final animation will be.
I encourage you to stick around with us until series premiere, as I think you will be pleasantly surprised. Also, the voices currently on the site are for the American production only. We are currently in the process of re-voicing the site and show for the British broadcast (which will feature a different sensibility).

We are definitely featuring more characters on the show- 25 in fact- and will be rolling them out over the course of the next 6-8 weeks so bear with us.

Hi Kurt.
With only 25 characters starring in the new show , will Mr Silly be featuring?
HE'S MY FAVOURITE!!

[Kurt]

“drats! Not in season one, unfortunately! But our plan is to bolster the existing cast with a few new characters should we go to a 2nd season so we’ll certainly keep Mr. Silly in mind!

my sons and I are huge Mr. Men and Little Miss fans and one of our favorite things on the old site was that we could print out coloring pages of all of the characters. will that be possible again?

[kurt]

On the Mr. Men Show site, www.mrmen.com, click on any of the characters. You will then be on the character's page and you'll see three big buttons on the right side of the screen: GAME, VIDEO, and FREE STUFF. Click on FREE STUFF, and you'll see the color page. Every character will have their own color page for lots of coloring fun. Let me know if this helped.

This site certainly looks interesting and promising. Not to keen on the change of looks, but I'm willing to give it a chance and see how it goes.

One question, would it be possible to feature the French-Only Mr. Men and Little Miss in the series at some point so they can have a proper appearance in the English-speaking continents? A website they can be found in is:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Men#History

And it would give the rest of the world a chance to see what only France has at the moment.

Also, one more query- is Miss Calamity based on any existing Little Miss, or a brand new character?

My four year old little boy adores your website he spends hours on it and the new show gives him so much pleasure. Strange question but do you know if they publish knitting patterns for Mr Men toys?
