Small world

Small World title card, as seen in a recording that recently surfaced on YouTube.

Small World was a collection of pre-school cartoon shows that aired on Cartoon Network from 1996 to 2001. It also played on Cartoon Network Latin America under the title Pequeno Mundo, and lasted considerably longer than it did on Cartoon Network US, having ran during the City era until 2006. Some shows that aired on the original US version were noticeably absent in the Latin American version, like Mr. Men and Little Miss and Dick Bruna Stories, which ran on Discovery Kids instead.

The series was also known for broadcasting Soupe Opéra, a French stop-motion series produced by Marlou Films for France 3 in 1991 and 2000, as it aired on Cartoon Network in the United States and Latin America. The British announcer in a promo chatting with Pingu described it as "Dancing Food from France". The show has developed a following for giving children a case of childhood trauma.

The bumpers for the block were partially inspired by the 1995 Disney/Pixar film Toy Story.
