Want to make something cuter? Just make it smaller. Look at [[Cute Kitten|kittens]] and [[Precious Puppies|puppies]]. Don't you just want to hug and squeeze them [[And Call Him George|and call them George]]? Okay, perhaps not that far, but they are cute. And it's not merely being smaller, but also having a "smoother" shape than adult dogs and cats, and usually having bigger eyes.
Line 47 ⟶ 48:
* [[Played for Drama]] in chapter 40 of ''[[Franken Fran]]''. [[Cain and Abel|Veronica]] gets cut in half by Gavrill, and Fran has to make a a smaller version of her body with the very few parts that were still left. This is unfortunate for Veronica, but [[Air Vent Passageway|does come in handy later]].
* The laptop-model Persocoms in [[Chobits]]! Sumomo is smaller than your forearm but several times as cute as human-sized Chii.

* Beta Mechazawa from [[Cromartie High School]].

* Many [[fanfic]]s have included the grimdark models used in tabletop versions of ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' to come to life or appear in our world as the size of their tabletop counterparts, such as [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5474237/1/40k_ToyHammer this one]. [[Hilarity Ensues]].

* Metal Gear Mk II in ''[[Snatcher]]'' is terribly cute, despite having a design inspired by [[Metal Gear|nuke-launching superweapons]].
* ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' does this to [[Final Fantasy X-2|Yuna, Rikku, and Paine]] by turning them into ''[http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/kingdomhearts/images/thumb/5/53/Final_Fantasy_Girl.jpg/600px-Final_Fantasy_Girl.jpg fairies.]''{{Dead link}}
* ''[[Ōkamiden|Okamiden]]'''s Chibiterasu. Sure, [[Ōkami|Amaterasu]] was already a [[Badass Adorable]], but just [http://kotaku.com/5351390/okamiden-kicks-cuteness-up-a-notch look at them]!
* ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'' gives us the mini-sentries, which are basically the standard sentries at a smaller size and significantly less firepower, with a police siren duct taped on top of it. Of course, this is [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] by the Engineer himself, as he sometimes calls it a "cute little gun".
Line 105 ⟶ 106:
* The premise of ''[[Lil Formers]]''.
* ''[[Girl Genius]]'' has [[Incredibly Lame Pun|fun]] with this. Played straight by the [[Do-Anything Robot|Dingbots]]. Inverted by the "Fun-Sized Mobile Agony and Death Dispensers"—old Heterodynes did ''everything'' very... FUN sized (they probably heard about miniaturization, but thought it's about [[Shrink Ray]]).
* Discussed in [https://web.archive.org/web/20130203024123/http://girlyyy.com/go/579 This] ''[[Girly]]'' strip.
* Zig-zagged in ''[[Twokinds]]''. Bastins are more-or-less short versions of Keidrans, but they're really not that cute. At least, not while they're not trying to take your head off with a [[Blade on a Stick]].
* Snuggleninja, found [http://snuggleninja.blogspot.com/2012/02/short.html here] is so little. But that doesn't stop him from doing what he needs to do.
Line 114 ⟶ 115:
*** Totally appropriate. In the comic, Rorschach was fairly short, and wore elevator shoes when in costume to look more intimidating.

* This is the entire point of the Minis in the [[Protectors of the Plot Continuum|PPC]]. That and to [[Grammar Nazi|poke fun at the badficcer's misspellings]].

* Calling tiny, [[All Hallow's Eve|trick-or-treat size]] candy bars "fun size", or calling any sort of eating "fun" for that matter, is one of ''[[Cracked.com]]'''s [http://www.cracked.com/blog/the-5-stupidest-lies-advertisers-expect-you-to-believe/ The 5 Stupidest Lies Advertisers Expect You to Believe]. It compares the practice to [[Little People]] demanding to be called "fun size".
