 Mori no Youki no Kobito-tachi: Berufi to Rirubitto, more commonly known as Lil  Bits in the United States was a fantasy themed anime series, and despite the fact it was aimed at children (airing on Nick Jr for several years in the early nineties) it was a fairly decent show (and happened to be my indoctrination at 4 years old into becoming an anime otaku ^_~) The show centered around inch high elf like creatures called (as the title suggests) Lil  Bits and their mis-adventures in and around the village of foot-hill forest. Each episode usually had some type of nature themed message.
