Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids is a British animated series based on the generic trademarked book series of the same name by Jamie Rix. After the first four books were published from 1990 to 2001, Carlton Television adapted the short stories into ten-minute cartoons for ITV, produced by themselves, Honeycomb Productions, and Rix's production company, Elephant Productions, as well as Grizzly TV. It aired on CITV between January 2000 and October 2007 with six series and 78 episodes, as well as a New Year's Eve special that was over 20 minutes longer than other episodes. The series returned in a new format for NickToons UK with 26 episodes split into two series under the name Grizzly Tales (also known as Grizzly Tales: Cautionary Tales for Lovers of Squeam!), which aired between May 2011 and
