History Trivia / MrMen

* DevelopmentHell: Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox has had an animated feature film in the works since 2015, with nothing else coming out since then. Since the company was purchased by Disney and Blue Sky shutting down, it's safe to say that plans for a movie have been cancelled.

* NamesTheSame:
** [[ThePollyanna Little Miss Sunshine]] is not to be confused with [[Film/LittleMissSunshine that movie with the dysfunctional family and the beauty pageant]]. Some were surprised there wasn't a lawsuit that stemmed from this.
** Mr. Small isn't [[WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball that other Mr. Small]], however the hippie school counselor's first voice actor was previously in [[WesternAnimation/TheMrMenShow the 2008 adaptation]].

* PortingDisaster: As with most TV shows, the 70s Mr. Men series and 80s Little Miss series of shorts suffered in poor quality under their broadcast masters when released to DVD. It is unknown if they'll ever be remastered in high-definition, had the original film prints been rediscovered.

* OutlivedItsCreator: Roger Hargreaves [[AuthorExistenceFailure died in 1988]]. His son Adam (who had started the whole thing by asking what a tickle looks like) has written new books about the existing characters, as well as new characters, characters his father had created but never used, and the ''Series/DoctorWho'' and Music/SpiceGirls crossovers.

* TheMusical: You heard that right, there was a Mr. Men musical back in 1985 called "Party Time with Mr. Men" (or simply "The Mr. Men Musical"). Unfortunately theres no record on whether the stage show was ever filmed on tape and only a few pictures and pamphlets are online.
** However, while footage of the main show is almost (Mr.) impossible to find, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fD5vgFhBbc all of the songs were uploaded to YT and various other sites.]]

* WriteWhoYouKnow: Roger Hargreaves based the Little Miss Twins on his two daughters, Amelia and Sophie.

* NoExportForYou: Eleven French-created characters were made and never released outside of France and Greece. ''Monsieur Bagarreur'' (Mr. Crosspatch) in particular was likely never released because the subject matter (a Mr. Men who [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge beats people up for making him mad]]) wasn't that family-friendly. This didn't stop him from becoming a MemeticBadass amongst the fandom, though.
