Seven Little Monsters (TV series)

Seven Little Monsters, or 7 Little Monsters, is a Canadian-Chinese-Filipino animated television series about a family of seven monsters and their mother.[1] The series, based on the book of the same name, was created by Maurice Sendak and directed by Neil Affleck, Lynn Reist, and Glenn Sylvestor. Each monster is named after a different number from one to seven, and each has unique physical characteristics. The series aired on PBS Kids, as part of the PBS Kids Bookworm Bunch from 2000–2002, and made an individual PBS debut in 2003 along with George Shrinks and The Berenstain Bears, and was shown from 2001–2007 on YTV. The series was produced by Wild Things Productions (uncredited), Nelvana, Suzhou Hong Ying Animation Corporation Limited for the first two seasons and Philippine Animation Studio Inc. (PASI Animation) for the third season from 2000–2002, in association with Treehouse TV and PBS. The 40-episode series debuted in 2000, aired its final episode in 2003 and reruns continued until September 15 of that same year. However, some select member PBS stations, including the PBS Kids Channel, continued to air the series with The Berenstain Bears until August 2004. The theme song was performed by the Canadian band Barenaked Ladies, also known for performing the theme to CBS’ The Big Bang Theory.
