The Happy Little Elves

The Happy Little Elves are a fictional children's program, often resembling a cross between The Smurfs, Snorks, Astrosnik, "Teletubbies" and Care Bears. The characters in the Happy Little Elves are often crudely drawn and are generally aimed at younger children. They have spawned several direct-to-video films. Merchandising includes posters, lunchboxes, shirts, dolls, etc. Bart hates The Happy Little Elves, calling them “the crappy little elves” on several occasions.
