Tales of Little Women

Synopsis

Meg, the faithful and gentle sister; Jo, independent and bursting with energy; Beth, quiet and shy; and Amy, charming and precocious—the four March girls share joyful, lively days at home alongside their devoted mother as they await their father's return from the Civil War. Bound together by their mutual support, they face the challenges of growing up and blossom into extraordinary women.

Background

Tales of Little Women originally aired in 1987 as one of Nippon Animation's World Masterpiece Theater programs. Many staffers from Studio Ghibli such as Yoshifumi Kondo were involved in multiple production positions. Tales of Little Women was licensed and dubbed by Saban Entertainment, and broadcasted on HBO in 1988 in North America. This made it one of only three World Masterpiece Theater programs to be dubbed in English.
