The official website for Epoch's Sylvanian Families toy line announced on Tuesday that the toys will get a new anime series that will premiere on Tokyo MX on October 6, and on Sun TV on October 9.

Japanese company Epoch created the original toy line in 1985. The franchise inspired a 1987 American animated series, as well as 1998 British stop-motion animated series. The franchise also inspired a three-episode Japanese CG anime video series in 2007. In the United States, the franchise is also known as Calico Critters.
