Synopsis

It's a beautiful day - too beautiful, in Tubby's opinion, to be spent trapped behind a desk in a stuffy old classroom. Lulu doesn't think that playing hooky is such a good idea… until she realizes that the big math test she's been studying for is actually a geography test. Maybe taking the day off isn't such a bad idea after all. But their little escapade quickly turns into a nightmare of misadventures. In the end, they discover that the test was canceled, and that they missed the greatest field trip of all time.

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.
