Mr. Christmas (Mr. Men & Little Miss Celebrations)

Product Information

Real Men Wear Pink: Or rather, are pink in the case of Doctors Third and Sixth. The former's dark magenta and the latter's a brighter pink; in both cases, these are reflections of their TV counterparts' costumes (the latter's being infamously garish). Birthday Episode: Dr. Thirteenth has her, Graham, and Ryan putting together a Surprise Party for Yaz's birthday. Distaff Counterpart: The Little Misses to the Mr. Men in general and some Little Misses to specific Mr. Men (Mr. and Little Miss Chatterbox; Mr. and Little Miss Busy; Mr. Happy and Little Miss Sunshine; Mr. Greedy and Little Miss Plump; Mr. Small and Little Miss Tiny, etc.). Some of them are even explicitly stated to be brother and sister. Arcadia: Happyland, Mr. Happy's homeland, is a country where the trees are a hundred feet tall, the sun shines brightly, and all the animals and even the flowers are smiling happily. Both Mr Impossible's Lesson and Little Miss Shy And The Fairy Godmother involve Little Miss Shy being put through a gratuitous act of cruelty from one of the meaner characters (Mr. Snooty in the former, and Little Miss Bossy and Little Miss Naughty in the latter) and getting help via magical means. The key difference is that in the former, Mr. Snooty shows some honor at the end and thanks her along with Mr. Bump and Mr. Clumsy for preventing his house from burning down while in the latter, Little Miss Bossy and Little Miss Naughty receive little, if any repercussions for bullying Little Miss Shy for blushing.

Giant Food: In Mr. Greedy, the title character visits a giant's castle and finds a plate of sausages the size of sofas, potatoes the size of beach balls, and peas the size of cabbages. Brainwashed and Crazy: The Rani turns the Blue People into her minions and sends them after Dr. Sixth and Peri. Dr. Sixth's enraged shouting at her over this turns out to be sufficient to undo it! Mr. Silly is the 10th book in the Mr. Men series by Roger Hargreaves. Mr. Silly is a Mr. Man who lives in Nonsenseland, where the trees have red leaves and the grass is blue. Every year there is a contest for the silliest idea of the year, and Mr. Silly cannot think of one. On the way, he meets some of the animals that do human activities and say the wrong sounds. Mr. Silly wins the contest by painting all the leaves on the trees green. Foul Flower: Mr. Grumpy has an aversion to flowers, and pulls up any pretty flowers growing in the garden of his home, Crosspatch cottage.Hates Baths: Mr. Messy, as befits his name, hates taking baths, and has to be forced into the bathtub in the final act of the book bearing his name. He jokes afterward that, now that he is no longer messy, he'll need to change his name. Mr. Mean is renamed Mr. Stingy in North American editions to clarify that he is mean with his money rather than mean to other people (though he has moments of the latter as well). The stinger for where Mr. Right goes to bed at the end of the story, after Mr. Wrong has been living with him. In the bath.

Mr. Happy is the 3rd book in the Mr. Men series. Mr. Happy discovers Mr. Miserable (who looks exactly like him) and helps him become happy.I Should Write a Book About This: At the end of Mr. Small, the title character is introduced to an author of children's books ( all but stated outright to be Roger Hargreaves) and writes a book about himself, which the reader is informed is the very book s/he has just read. It was very nice to see you," said Mr. Fussy politely. But what he was thinking was "it's very nice to see you going".

Holding Both Sides of the Conversation: When Mr. Chatterbox has no-one whose ears he can talk off, he resorts to holding conversations with himself, as though speaking to his own identical twin. Eye-Obscuring Hat: Mr. Silly, Mr. Nonsense and Miss Scatterbrain (presumably) have eyes hidden under their hats.

Mr. Men Christmas Special

Mr. Jelly is the 15th book in the Mr. Men series. Mr. Jelly is afraid of everything, such as the snapping of a twig. He often hides under the covers. One day, he finds a tramp sleeping in the woods, whom he is afraid of until the vagabond teaches him to count to ten whenever he feels nervous. This makes Mr. Jelly a calm fellow and he rarely hides under the covers now. Lions and Tigers and Humans... Oh, My!: The characters who appear to be simple shapes with human figures regularly interact with regular-looking humans. Giant Spider: Dr. Eleventh and River Song have to flee one of these (for the second time that day!) as part of their quest. Ignorant About Fire: In "Mr Men and Little Miss: Fire Station", Mr. Lazy dozes off while he's ironing, which sets his house on fire.
