Site History

September 11, 2000

• Oh dear, time goes by...
  Manga section opened. Ever wanted to see a "comic strip" based on Little Women? Go there ;-)
  Little Women Anime (1997) Goods & Artwork section opened

June 21, 2000

• A collector's edition DVD of the 1994 Little Women movie has been released. It not only contains a audio commentar, but also "deleted scenes", which means scenes which were filmed but didn't make it into the movie. I'll tell you more about it as soon as the DVD arrives.

• Little Women Soundtrack
  As you know I'm a big fan of the Little Women (1994) soundtrack composed by Thomas Newman. Since the RealAudio files got damaged or deleted, I took the chance and uploaded MP3s of some tracks which replace the RAs
• Erin from USA gave me the lyrics to the US-Opening of NA's Little Women anime (1987).

April 12, 2000

• Hm, time goes by quickly and I haven't updated this site for over 5 month :-(
  Ok, there are no dramatic news but there are some pleasant news I'd like to tell you:
  1. I got a Little Women manga direct from Japan. You'll see scans soon.
  2. I finally got my copy of "Little Women Christmas Story". As I guessed, it only contains two out of 48 episodes of the original Japanese animation. This video also may be sold under a different cover

November 7, 1999

• Well, after nearly 3 month of not updating this site I decided to take a closer look on it. Don't expect too much, but I'll try to put some new infos online :-)
• New guestbook. After problems with the old one, I now installed a new script. Looks better anyway... Hem, if you always wanted to tell me your opinion about this site, what you like or what you think is missing take your chance. (Older entries are missing at the moment, because I have to convert them to the new format)
• Links to two major sites dealing with Louisa May Alcott and the World Masterpieces Theater have changed:
  • Tara Calishain's Alcott Web can now be found at: www.alcottweb.com
  • Benjamin Ettinger's WMT Page is now at: www.pelleas.net/wmt/

• Greats news for me but perhaps old news for you: A single tape of Nippon Animation's Little Women anime can be bought at e.g. Amazon.com. It's called "Little Women's Christmas Story" and probably contains just one out of the 48 episodes. (Boy, whoever painted the cover art of this video should give up his profession immediately. That's the worst immitation of the original cell art I've ever seen! You have to click on the cover to get a bigger picture of this "artwork")

• And even more interesting: Someone in the USA wrote me that the older 1981 anime series of Little Women was cut to a 2h movie by Harmony Gold and aired on Nikelodeon.
  If someone still has this movie on tape, please contact me. I really like to see it...
