Little Miss Scatterbrain (Mr. Men and Little Miss)

Product Information

The title character in Mr. Daydream is, as one would expect, just a daydream of a bored schoolboy, and he is woken up by his teacher at the end of the book. The Animated Adaptation ends with an Or Was It a Dream?, with Mr. Daydream making a final silent appearance and waving to the viewers. Little Miss Naughty's behaviour improves dramatically after Mr. Small asks Mr. Impossible to turn invisible and tweak her nose every time she is about to perpetrate an act of sociopathy. The Mr. Men and Little Misses are a race of abstract human beings (a.k.a. talking shapes) who're essentially the Anthropomorphic Personifications of the many character traits everyday people have. Every Mr. Man and Little Miss has a distinct characteristic that defines their entire being, and are named after that characteristic (Mr. Forgetful, Little Miss Trouble, Mr. Wrong, Little Miss Wise, etc.). Each of the original books stars one of the characters, who has a brief adventure revolving around their character trait. And the sun has a face on some occasions.

Mr. Rude often insults people for their flaws and whenever he goes in his car, he yells insults at people he passes and when he upsets Miss Tiny, Mr. Happy decides to teach him the hard way to be nicer to people. Little Miss Scary liked to creep up behind people and shout 'BOO!' But when Mr Jelly has been scared too much, he and Mr Noisy decide to teach Little Miss Scary a lesson. Little Miss Contrary has an orange round body, an orange round nose, and straight yellow hair. Miss Contrary wears glasses and a blue bow on the top of her head.

Success!

Giant Spider: Dr. Eleventh and River Song have to flee one of these (for the second time that day!) as part of their quest.

When Mr. Mischief seizes a sleeping wizard's wand in "Mr. Mischief", the wizard seizes Mr. Mischief's nose, who replies "Led go ob my node!" Lions and Tigers and Humans... Oh, My!: The characters who appear to be simple shapes with human figures regularly interact with regular-looking humans. 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. Mr. Worry: after a wizard has made sure that none of Mr. Worry's worries will come to pass, after a happy week he has no worries at all. But on Monday morning, he is a worried Mr Man again. Why? Do you really want to know what happened? He is worried that he has nothing to worry about.

Credits (Windows version)

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. Unusually Uninteresting Sight: None of the humans seem to so much as blink at the sight of talking shapes and even engage in regular chatter with them. Mr. Mean sends his brother a piece of coal for Christmas. When Mr. Mean reforms and becomes generous at the end of the book, what does he send his brother? Two pieces of coal. Evil Plan: Missy's in Dr. Twelfth involves seeding Cybermats throughout Earth's history. After the Doctor foils her, she wants a chance to explain exactly what this was going to accomplish, but since it's no longer an issue (and he's really hungry), he tells her he doesn't want to hear it and just leaves, much to her disappointment.
