Mr. Too Little

About This Movie

So, 'Mr. Too Little' from 1979 is this quirky little adventure-comedy that revolves around Mindy and her poodle, Mr. Too Little. Set against the backdrop of a circus, there’s this intriguing mix of childhood innocence and the not-so-whimsical world of circus life. The performances carry a certain charm, especially the dynamic between Mindy and her mother, who trains the menacing Mr. Too Big, a tiger. The pacing is a bit erratic, but that adds to its offbeat charm. And while the effects are modest by today’s standards, there’s something endearing about the practical elements. It’s a film that captures a slice of that era’s family entertainment without being overly saccharine, leaving you with a sense of nostalgia for simpler stories.

'Mr. Too Little' has had a limited presence in home media, often overshadowed by more prominent family films of the time. Its scarcity makes it a noteworthy title among collectors who appreciate lesser-known gems from the late '70s. The film has seen occasional VHS releases but remains elusive on modern formats, adding to its intrigue. Enthusiasts seeking to complete their adventure-comedy collections often find themselves drawn to its unique charm and nostalgic atmosphere.
