Little Eggs (released in Latin America as Huevos) is a series of animated films based on the properties of Mexico-based multimedia company Huevocartoon. The first two films, starting with 2006's Una película de huevos, were animated with 2D digitized traditional animation, both of which were major box-office successes in the country. The latter three entries were animated in full computer animation. All films were directed by Huevocartoon creators Gabriel Riva Palacio Alatriste and Rodolfo Riva Palacio Alatriste.

The Huevos series is one of the highest-grossing original film franchise in Mexico with the gross of $44.2 million worldwide and MX$461.7 million pesos within the country, and with the highest amount of viewers in a franchise overall.[1] Additionally, three of its films are among the top three highest-grossing animated Mexican films of all time, with Un gallo con muchos huevos having the highest-gross, both franchise-wise and overall.[2]
