'Little Dracula' is a 1991 American animated series directed by Joe Pearson with original music by Stephen C. Marston under Walker Hahn Productions.[1] It debuted on Fox Kids on 3 September 1991 and features the voices of several veteran comedians and actors. Based on the book series of the same name, thirteen episodes were produced, but only six were aired; five episodes aired the week of 3 – 6 September, before its timeslot was given to Beetlejuice.[2] A sixth episode aired on Halloween. It was during this initial run that the Little Dracula franchise made its way to a handful of merchandising deals.

In 1999, Fox Family reran Little Dracula, including four episodes which had not aired during the original run (another three remained unaired).[3] Some Little Dracula books were also republished following this brief revival.

A second season (13 more episodes) was co-produced with France and Germany, by IDDH, M6, and Renaissance-Atlantic Films. It never aired in the United States. In Europe, Little Dracula (Draculito, mon saigneur) is an animated series in 26 episodes.[4][5]
