The Happy Little Elves

The Happy Little Elves are a children's program, often resembling a cross between The Smurfs, Snorks, Astrosnik, Oakie Doke, Teletubbies, Noddy's Toyland Adventures and Care Bears. First appears in the short of The Tracey Ullman Show called Grandpa & the Kids. The characters in the Happy Little Elves are often crudely drawn and are generally aimed at younger children. They have spawned several direct-to-video films. Merchandising includes posters, lunchboxes, shirts, dolls, etc. Bart hates The Happy Little Elves, calling them “the crappy little elves” on several occasions.^[1]
