Mr Men movies magic!
So for those of us of a certain generation the Mr Men shorts animated features were the stuff of legend as narrated by the late and legendary Arthur Lowe. The success of those characters led to even more and then the Little Miss project and has achieved phenomenal worldwide success for their creator Roger Hargreaves who passed away far too young at only 53 years of age back in 1988. But the success of the books has continued apace and now there’s news of Mr Men movies.
News of those Mr Men Movies….
From the studio and producers who brought you the Paddington franchise they will bring the Mr. Men movies as well as Little Miss to the big screen for the very first time.

The Mr Men man……
Son of the late Roger Hargreaves, Adam Hargreaves, comments “It’s an amazing thought to think that the Mr Men and Little Miss are going to feature in their own film, it’s very exciting news. My father would have been thrilled and I can’t say how proud I am of his creation that it merits an appearance on the big screen. It’s a big step up for Mr Small.”
