''[[The Littl' Bits]]'', known in Japan as ''Mori no Youkina Kobito-tachi'': ''Belfy to Lillabit'' (''Cheerful Dwarves of the Forest'': ''Belfy and Lillabit'') was a children's anime created by [[Tatsunoko]] in 1980, brought to America and shown on [[Nick Jr.]] in the early 1990s. It focused on a race of tiny people living in a place known as Foothill Forest. While the show usually had lessons to teach, it did so in a subtle, non-[[Anvilicious]] manner.

* [[The Ace]]: Willabit is a minor version
* [[Adults Are Useless]]: Subverted; the children go on a lot of wild adventures but their parents and other guardians are always there to worry about them and help them out.
Line 21 ⟶ 20:
* [[It Was with You All Along]]: Browniebit's quest to find a certain feather he was told would grant him courage. Though he failed to actually get it, the fact that he'd climbed a treacherous mountain in order to find it was bravery in and of itself.
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Snagglebit and his father, Mayor Bossabit
* [[Keep Circulating the Tapes]]: [
* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]: Dr. Snoozabit is a lazy drunk, but when there's serious medical business to be dealt with he'll do it 110%. ''Even if he himself is in pain after falling into a hole.''
* [[Lilliputians]]
Line 28 ⟶ 27:
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: In "The Mystical Monument". Snagglebit, after being a first-class [[Jerkass]] to Browniebit over losing a bullfrog rodeo, immediately regrets his behavior when he finds out Browniebit has gone off to explore a dangerous cave. He even outright admits it's his fault.
** Even the normally sweet-tempered Lillibit (Belfy) had such a moment in one episode... the flying squirrel (Snuffly) kept trying to join in her games with Willibit but always messed them up, and Lillibit yelled at him. Not until Snuffly ran away as a result did she realize what she had done.
* [[Names to Know
* [[The Napoleon]]: Snagglebit. His original name even ''was'' Napoleon!
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Lillibit is an orphan who lives with her uncle. {{spoiler|It's later revealed that her parents are actually still alive, but were members of a shunned race called Wanderbits and gave up their daughter so she could live a happy life in Foothill Forest.}}
