Plot
The show centers on Lulu Moppet, voiced first by Tracey Ullman and later by Jane Woods, and her friend Tubby Tompkins. A clever girl, Lulu consistently outwits boys, bullies, and adults, whether she is collecting frogs for a restaurant, searching for treasure, or catching a thief. She and her best friend Tubby, along with small Alvin, buck-toothed Annie, smooth Willie, and other neighborhood kids, are always in the middle of some adventure. Each episode is built around three sketches called LuluToons, which are separated by a stand-up comedy segment hosted by Lulu and two silent, 30-second introductions.
These LuluToon storylines are taken directly from comic book releases, including those by John Stanley, with only small changes. The program also includes musical shorts called Lulu-Bite. This series is not the same as Little Lulu and Her Little Friends, a Japanese anime from 1976 that featured the same characters and aired internationally in 1978.
