Here Come the Littles

Henry Bigg learns that his parents are presumed lost after their archaeological trip, even though the aircraft wreckage has been found. Mrs. Evans informs him that Uncle Augustus is his legal guardian. This news upends Henry's world and foreshadows the changes to come as he prepares to move.

Two Littles living inside the walls of Henry's house snag an apple left for Henry by Mrs. Evans. They also retrieve Henry's lucky rabbit's foot and slip it into his suitcase as a prank. Their mischief backfires, and they are carried away with Henry's luggage to Augustus' house.

Henry moves to Augustus' residence; Mrs. Evans says she can't join him because Augustus doesn't need a housekeeper. Augustus initially appears friendly toward Mrs. Evans, but his true temperament surfaces as he escorts Henry to his room. The move marks a turning point in Henry's life under a new and uneasy guardian.

The Littles realize Grandpa and Dinky are inside the house. Augustus mistakes them for toys, grabs them from Henry, and locks them in the desk drawer in his study. The discovery sets the stage for uncovering Augustus' plans against Henry.

From the desk, Grandpa and Dinky discover that Augustus forged documents to become Henry's legal guardian and to seize the Biggs' property. The revelation exposes Augustus' true intent to redevelop the family estate. The Littles realize they must act to protect Henry.

Lucy persuades Tom to speak with Henry, a bold move since humans have been unaware of the Littles' existence. Henry begins to trust the tiny newcomers and forms a plan to oppose Augustus. The conversation marks a turning point in Henry's view of the Littles.

Henry creates a diversion that allows Tom and Lucy to rescue Grandpa and Dinky from the desk. The act demonstrates Henry's growing courage and loyalty to his tiny rescuers. The rescue strengthens the alliance between Henry and the Littles.

Tom becomes trapped in a jar of honey, complicating the rescue effort. The Littles must refocus their mission on freeing Henry first before saving Tom. The situation heightens the stakes as time runs short.

The Littles flee aboard a gas-powered toy plane, triggering a garage fire that wakes Augustus. Henry attempts to reach the police but is caught by his uncle amid the chaos. The escape heightens the urgency to expose Augustus' crimes.

The Littles' distractions buy Henry a moment of opportunity, but Augustus ultimately captures him before he can reach the police. The setback intensifies the danger Henry faces and motivates the Littles to intensify their plans. The tale moves toward a decisive confrontation.

The Littles continue to distract Augustus long enough for Henry to run toward help. The diversion shows the growing cooperation between Henry and the Littles. Augustus grows more desperate as his scheme begins to unravel.

Augustus calls a demolition crew to tear down the Biggs' place, accelerating his plans to seize the property. The pressure mounts as the physical threat to the home becomes real. The stakes rise as time runs out for Henry and the Littles.

The Littles split up: Grandpa searches for Henry's parents, while the others sabotage the bulldozer. Both missions succeed just in time, thwarting Augustus' plan. The tiny heroes pull off a daring double rescue amid the danger.

As Augustus arrives to oversee the demolition, a police officer arrives and arrests him for illegal destruction of private property, forgery, and child abuse. The law closes in on Augustus' long-running schemes. Henry breathes a sigh of relief as justice is served.

Henry is reunited with Mrs. Evans and prepares to meet his rediscovered parents at the airport. He casts a knowing wink at the gate as the Littles watch from the sidelines, signaling a hopeful new chapter. The Littles' world becomes real to Henry as he faces the future with his family.
