Based off of the popular movie and stage show, ''Theatre/LittleShopOfHorrors'', ''Little Shop'' was a short-lived cartoon on the Fox Kids block in 1991. It features Seymour and Audrey as 13 year old kids in the present day. Additionally, Audrey II goes by the original name it got in the original Creator/RogerCorman [[Film/TheLittleShopOfHorrors movie]], originated from a fossilized seed rather than from outer space, and of course, [[LighterAndSofter it doesn't eat blood]].
