Story
The story takes place ten or so years after Little Women. Jo March married German professor Fritz Baher, and now lives in Aunt Marthe's former house (Plumfield) where she established a school she directs with her husband and uses "modern" methods of education. Outside lessons, sport, games and activities making them aware of their responsabilities are the lot of the children Jo takes in. Her goal is to develop their personality and their autonomy, and to help them to "find their own path". Everything is going rather well and one can say life is pleasant in Plumfield until the arrival of a new pupil: Dan, a teenager who spent most of his childhood in Boston's streets and now refuses any kind of authority.
Little Men in France
The series was shown on TF1 in 1996; but the broadcast was stopped before the end. Only TMC (on the cable in 1996), and Manga (on the satellite in March 99) showed it completely.
Little Men in Germany and Austria
The German broadcast channel is RTL2, where the series is often on the air; always after Little Women. The last broadcasts took place in December 97, April and June 98, March and September 99, and finally on February 2001. Austrians could see it on ORF 1 for Summer 2000. The German version has two songs: the opening is close to Little Women's, and the ending is derived from the Japanese song (same melody, but German lyrics). Both have kept the original pictures.
Little Men in Italy
"Little Men" has been shown twice on Italia 1 in June - July 1995 and August - September 1999. The series has an Italian opening interpreted by Cristina D'Avena, with pictures coming from various episodes of the series.
