The World of the Wee Littles

The Wee Littles is a about a family of very small forest creatures living in a great big world. To enter the Wee Littles’ world, we need to get down low, on our bellies, to see things from their view. It’s a world where ferns and bushes tower over you like trees, and trees are like skyscrapers.

Meet the Characters

I-B

Itsy & Bitsy

ITSY – He is Bitsy’s little brother and has a mind of his own but he looks up to his big sister. Itsy considers himself a big boy that can do whatever Bitsy can do. Itsy is fond riding on bark sleds, conker carts, and his balance bike. He really likes going out on adventures with his pet earthworm, Jeremy!

Bitsy is Itsy’s older sister and loves looking after him. She’s got her father Teensy’s curiosity towork with her hands and enjoys building things. Bitsy likes it best when her family are all together on one of their many outings or when her friends come to visit. Her best friend is a little girl Beaky Robin.

T-M

Mini & Teensy

MINI She’s the mom and the Wee Little’s main idea generator, usually drawing or writing down her designs. She always has her sketch pad and pencil ready to jot down whatever idea pops into her head. Mini’s enthusiasm for coming up with ideas is infectious as the children and Teensy join her, adding in their own ideas to come up with a solution.

TEENSY He’s the dad and a handy guy to have around because he just loves to build things. He’s not only handy with tools, but he’s also handy in the kitchen. Teensy loves bedtime because it’s a chance to make up a bedtime story and play a lullaby on his Bean-jo (like a banjo but made out of a bean!).

Jeremy Throckmorton III

He’s the Wee Little’s family pet earthworm. Though Jeremy doesn’t bark or meow, his head makes a ting-a-ling sound when he shakes it. He adores all the family but is especially fond of the children. If Mini or Teensy want to find him, he can always be found playing alongside Itsy or Bitsy, and digging lots of holes! He’s also got a good nose for sniffing out rotting apples.

Pop-Pops & Mumford T. Wellington

Pop-Pops is Itsy and Bitsy’s grandfather, and Mini’s dad. He lives not too far away from The Wee Littles in a place called “The Burren” with his pet earthworm Mumford T. Wellington.

Unlike Jeremy, Mumford is a serious earthworm and champion hole digger. When Pop-Pops and he ride their pedal motorcycle around, it’s Mumford’s job to make the engine sounds with his mouth. Vroom! Vroooom!

Beaky & Mr Robin

Beaky Robin is Bitsy best friend (her BFF). She’s a songbird that can’t hold a tune but she has a heart of gold. Beaky can always be counted on to join in on the fun.

Mr Robin is Beaky’s dad and Teensy’s friend, even though they sometimes have a friendly rivarly.

  • Last night Magpie 6 Media participated in the annual national arts event, Culture Night. The Ennis Creative Writers group was holding their event inside the EASI building at the Tracklands Business Park and we gave a peek of what happens in the EASI space on the exterior wall. Many people came out to enjoy the video, almost a Drive In Movies feel to it.

The short looped video featured various EASI artists and their work, plus we got to drop in some Wee Littles at the end! Always a treat!

  • We have wonderful news! S4C in Wales will have our favourite tiny family airing this year! They are in the process of dubbing it into Welsh and Siwan Jobbins was kind enough to send over the proper pronunciation of “Y Pitws Bychain.”

We’re very happy to know that young audiences in Wales will get to enjoy The Wee Littles in their own language very soon!

  • “CÚ” Animated Feature in Development

Magpie 6 are proud to announce our collaboration with the talented Bob Etchingham! He’s created a wonderful story about how CúChulainn got his name. Our plan is to develop Bob’s concept into a trilogy of 1-hour TV specials. The first episode is called “CÚ” and as you can see from the few clips, Bob’s got a big jump on his vision.

We’re looking to create an hour of action packed entertainment for the Tween crowd - whose discerning taste demands not only quality story, but lots of eye candy. We’re developing a new story style we’ve coined “Gaeilgime.” It has all the great classic Irish story telling skills mixed in with the imagination and action/adventure of an anime film.

It features some wildly imaginative characters from Irish folklore. We’ll keep you posted!  #CúChulainn #IrishMyth #EuropeanMythology #UlsterCycles, #FirBolg #Fomorians #The Sidhe #TheOthers #IrishAnimation #FeatureAnimation #BobEtch
  • Messing around in Blender again. This time starting with basics - our own logo in 3D! Looking forward to rendering it so it looks like clay. All part of a master plan to do some very cool clay animation in Blender. #blender #logo #clay-do #magpie6media
  • How many times have you flicked a fly out of the air with your tongue only to have the pesky thing gave you a case of the hiccups? Countless, right? Well then you’ll all relate to poor Helvetica Bullfrog’s plight as she’s ready to get her Swanboat ride ready for spring. BTW: No flies were hurt in the making of this animated short - it was a professional stunt fly.

  • Almost forgot to boast that The Wee Littles “Errant Errand” was shown at the Chicago Irish Film Festival which wrapped earlier this week. We wanted to thank Dublin Animation Film Festival’s Fionnghuala Ni Neill for making it happen. #DIFF #chicagoirishfilmfestival #theweelittles #animation #irishanimation #countyclare
  • Here’s a spec commercial for a local County Clare market. Got the idea from an old cinema interstitial where dancing treats from the concession stand bounced along to a catchy tune.

Our talented local dancing treats consist of tasty morsels found at the deli - our fav is the Dancing Sausage Roll, (known simply as “DSR” to his fans). Move over K-Pop, here comes DSR!

If your deli, restaurant, or coffee shop has some dancing talent and would like to feature them in a promo video, (part of a well balanced social media campaign), please send a DM and this week only, we’ll throw in a GIF! Think of it as an early GIFmas present.
