Leslie and her pal, Itsy. Cutest friends!

A 1992 animated fantasy-comedy short named for the nursery rhyme of the same name, originally shown in theaters preceding Bebe's Kids. In 1994, to become a franchise, it was picked up as a TV series, which aired on the USA Network. The franchise focused on an imaginative and tomboyish young city girl named Leslie McGroarty, who is befriended by a little spider named Itsy.

Tropes used in The Itsy Bitsy Spider include:

Tropes covered by the short and the series:

Tropes exclusive to the short:

  • The Ahnold: The Exterminator after the Robotic Reveal.
  • Bittersweet Ending: Leslie is very sad that she believes Itsy dies in the explosion, but she hears Itsy on her leg. She was extremely happy that Leslie is finally reunited with Itsy. Happily, Leslie and Itsy are going back home to the big city.

 Leslie: I guess next week's lesson is off, huh? (Leslie and Itsy giggles as they go home to the city.)

 Music Teacher: What is that?
The Exterminator: It's a high-tech microchip thermonuclear light-sensitive radioactive blue-screen laptop computer-generator triple-decker arachnid detector and Etch-a-Sketch. Any more questions?

Tropes exclusive to the series:
