Tom of T.H.U.M.B. (Japanese: 001/7ãÂÂãÂÂæÂÂãÂÂã , lit. 001/7 Tom's Thumb). is a Japanese-American-Canadian animated series produced by Videocraft International (later Rankin/Bass) of North America, and Toei Animation of Japan. ABC would run the series in the United States on Saturday mornings between September 6, 1966, and March 4, 1967, as it was bundled with The King Kong Show.
One day, Tom is sweeping in the laboratory, he then falls down the stairs and is recovered by his Asian sidekick Swinging Jack (simply Jack in the Japanese version). The two are accidentally zapped with a raygun, shrinking them to 3 in (76 mm) tall.
The pair become agents of the miniature bureau of T.H.U.M.B. (the Tiny Human Underground Military Bureau) by their bad-tempered boss Chief Homer J. Chief to foil the plots of M.A.D. (Maladjusted, Anti-social and Darn mean), who are an agency of black-hatted and black-coated villains determined to destroy the world for their gains.
