The show tells the story of a ten-year-old boy named George Shrinks who is only 3 inches (76 mm) tall. George lives with his musician father Harold, his artist mother Perdita, and his little brother Harold Jr. ("Junior" for short), finding adventure with them and his friends (primarily his best bud and neighbour Becky Lopez) in mundane situations - but through a mixture of his own ingenuity and imagination, George proves that being tiny is no obstacle to solving problems and having fun.
