Littlest Pet Shop is ananimatedchildren's television series and comedy based on the toy franchiseLittlest Pet Shop released byKenner Products.[2] The series debuted on September 11, 1995, in theUnited States andsyndicated to local stations by distributorClaster Television. It was produced bySunbow Entertainment in the United States, and Créativité & Développement and AB Productions inFrance.[3]

For a brief time in America, the show was a bit of a hit. The humor and style of the show was mostly inspired by cartoons such asLooney Tunes,Tiny Toon Adventures andAnimaniacs. While not violent, the show was filled with lots of slapstick humor, as well as pop cultural references, puns, parodies and zany adventures.

Plot

[edit]

Littlest Pet Shop follows the lives of five miniature animals who live in apet shop on Littlest Lane and have their owntreehouse inside of the store. Sometimes the main pets do end up in the homes of eager owners, mostly children, but it never works out for them. Unlike regular pets, the gang aren't overly cutesy, but zany, anthropomorphic characters. Usually their adventures at their new homes never work out and they end up returning to the store to rejoin their friends.

Characters

[edit]

Main

[edit]
  • Stu (voiced byMichael Donovan) is a blue dog with a bumbling personality who happens to be a big eater. He claimed in one episode that his name is short for "stupendous" but it could just be bragging rights. He's been called by Viv as the most loyal and most lovable of the pets. He wears a green cap backwards and has cream coloured muzzle, also short hair in a darker blue.
  • Chloe (voiced byBabs Chula) is a snarky purple cat who has beenreincarnated many times. Her first life dates toAncient Egypt. She has dark short tufts of hair on her head, wears a pink collar and blue belly fur. Stu is the butt of Chloe's jokes, but above all, the two are great friends. Chloe also lost her sixth life during her time in the pocket of a daredevil trying to do a stunt on a motorbike. Despite her sass, she does care about and greatly respect the others. Chloe also has a twin sister named Sabrina who looks exactly like her, but with a mole on her armpit.
  • Viv (voiced byLynda Boyd) is a music-loving pink rabbit who sings and dances. She has a backing band that lives in her top hat. She speaks with a British accent similar to that of famous rock stars and acts such as Spinal Tap. Viv has short blonde hair, her fur is pink and white and she wears blue eyeshadow, she also loves wrestling, like her friends and dreams of being famous. She wears a purple top hat, sometimes keeps things in there for safe keeping, but mostly, her trusty guitar that she loves to play. She also writes her own songs.
  • Chet (voiced byLee Tockar) is a macho yellow horse who acts like a cowboy. He is proud of his strength and is not a fan of "cute". He speaks with a Southern accent. Chet is closest friends with Stu.
  • Squeaks (vocal effects provided byTed Cole) is a red monkey who loves bananas and speaks in monkey language that the other characters understand. Squeaks also has a yellow muzzle, paws and tail. His tail can act as certain objects, such as rakes, shovels and even scissors. He's fairly childish but does try to warn the others of danger. Because he doesn't talk, he has to try and use pantomime to tell the others what is happening.
