The Little Twins (リトルツインズ) is a Japanese animated series produced by Toei Animation in the early 1990's[1][2], having receiving an English Dub that aired on the Nickelodeon kids' block, Nick Jr. from June 22, 1998 up until July 3, 1998, [3] with a total of 13 episodes.[4]

Plot

The show centers around two Lilliputian twins, tiny dwarf-like creatures, named Petal and Piper living on an island, named with their family and going on various adventures, and their enjoying their everyday lives. The twins frequently meet various other normal-sized creatures and learn more about them.[5]

Nick Jr.'s English Dub

Having initially released as an OVA under the same name, released on July 23, 1992[2], the series aired on the Nickelodeon's kids' block, Nick Jr., 6 years after it was initially released, receiving an English Dub and had only aired for a month, starting from June 3rd, 1998 up until July 3, 1998.[3].

The series was executively produced by David Linde, and features Jack Maeby having an original soundtrack made for this dub.[6]
