Little Ellen is an American preschool animated television series produced by Ellen Digital Ventures and Warner Bros. Animation, with animation produced by Lighthouse Studios. This is the first Warner Bros. Animation produced series created for Warner Bros. Discovery's streaming service HBO Max under the Cartoonito brand and it's also the first preschoolers-focused series which is not from a popular franchise produced by Warner Bros. Animation since Firehouse Tales.[1]

Little Ellen centers on a seven-year-old Ellen DeGeneres as she goes on adventures with cousin Becky and their music-focused friend Freckle.[2][3] The second season was released on March 3, 2022.[4] A completed third season was going to premiere in June 2022, but it was pulled due to occurring delays; the series was eventually cancelled after its second season two months later, leaving the third and fourth seasons unaired.[5]

Plot[edit]

The show explores the world through the eyes of Ellen DeGeneres as a child.
