In 2011, Sanrio, the Japanese design company best known as the creators of Hello Kitty, announced that they had reached an agreement to acquire the rights to the Mr. Men and Little Miss characters from Chorion after the company was forced into administration, so they used the THOIP company to take over. [7] This marked the first time that Sanrio had licensed a third-party character since owning the rights to Osamu Tezuka's Unico character in the late 1970s and early 1980s, which was returned to Tezuka Productions after Tezuka's death in 1989. Sanrio had also acquired the license to produce Peanuts merchandise for the Japanese market.

While dozing in a chair in the garden, Mr Lazy is wakened by two humans, Mr Busy note not the title character of a later Mr. Men book and Mr Bustle, who subject him to a gruelling routine of housework and a very long walk, and then a run. When one of the men blows a whistle to make him start running, the whistle turns out to be the whistling kettle boiling in the kitchen (which takes two hours in Sleepyland). It had all been a terrible dream! When Mr Lazy then falls asleep (yet again) when he sits down for his breakfast, we are left with an ambiguous ending. An unidentified voice says "Wake up, Mr Lazy! WAKEUPWAKEUPWAKEUP!" Is this another instance of Or Was It a Dream?, or is Mr Lazy simply repeating the dream he had before? The Ditz: Mr. Dizzy starts out living up to his name, coming up with bizarre answers to simple questions asked by a pig and an elephant purely to rub in how clueless he is (such as naming a mouse as a big animal with big ears). However, after drinking from a magic well, he becomes intelligent and turns the tables on them with style. Flight: One of Mr. Impossible's abilities; he simply stands outside and flaps his arms, and away he soars.I Should Write a Book About This: At the end of Mr. Small, the title character is introduced to an author of children's books ( all but stated outright to be Roger Hargreaves) and writes a book about himself, which the reader is informed is the very book s/he has just read. Dr. Twelfth has him trying to stop Missy's string of jewel heists across Earth's history — and then he takes a moment to wonder why she wants the jewels. Retracing their steps, he discovers it was her cover for seeding Earth with Cybermats. He takes care of that and finally catches her afterward. The Un-Reveal: In "Dr. Twelfth", Missy was causing trouble Twelve by stealing artifacts across time and space. At the end after being caught, Missy wants to tell Twelve on why she was doing this. But Twelve doesn't want to bother and leaves for lunch, so we don't get any reveal on what Missy was planning. Mr. Greedy and his cousin, Little Miss Plump (later renamed Little Miss Greedy), are both defined by their enormous appetites. The fact that the book is not written by Roger or Adam Hargreaves could explain why no other Mr. Men or Little Misses that are canon appear in this book. It also explains why he never appeared in any of the TV shows and is not part of the Mr. Men library.
