Synopsis

A big-time director is in town, casting for a new TV commercial. Lulu hopes to wow him at the audition with her tremendous tap dancing talent, but a sudden tumble offstage and into the orchestra pit seems to put an end to that plan. But then a strange thing happens - the director picks her DESPITE her ridiculous pratfall. Maybe he recognizes in her some spark of talent, some all-but-hidden star quality that can only be brought out with the proper nurturing and care. Or maybe he just wants someone who can make a fool of herself in a particularly amusing way.

Production notes

The episodes are based on the original comics and combine Lulu's stand-up routines with her neighborhood adventures. Lulu is joined by the old gang, including her best friend Tubby, pint-sized Alvin, buck-toothed Annie and smooth Willie, among others. The response to "The Little Lulu Show" has proven that the resourceful and feisty girl in her signature red dress is a hit with a whole new generation.

A 52-episode series. Each show consisted of two LuluToons and a Lulu-Bite, with a stand-up sequence in between each segment.
