George Shrinks is a Canadian children's animated television series. It is based on the children's book by the well-known author William Joyce, co-produced by China-based animation studio Jade Animation and Canada-based animation studio Nelvana Limited, produced in association with PBS.[2] The show premiered as part of the PBS Kids Bookworm Bunch block on September 30, 2000, and ended with the final episode on January 23, 2003.
The series differs from the book in that the title character does not return to his normal size at the conclusion, appearing to have already been small with no apparent explanation.
