old cartoon

[tetzel1517]

A co-worker of mine is driving herself crazy trying to remember an old cartoon.

The premise: There's a whole civilization of mice that live behind walls and borrow household items and build stuff. Their enemies were the rats, natch.
She thinks it wasn't on every Saturday morning, but a Saturday afternoon special that aired periodically (on ABC, we think). Anyone know what it was?

Wasn't it the Rats of Nimh? The something of Nimh, anyway. I remember that much.

The Secret of NIMH, by Don Bluth Studios, I think. It was a movie, not a series though.

Can't be Secret of NIMH, because my co-worker swears she never even saw it, much less heard of it. We're almost positive it was a series of Saturday afternoon specials, that rotated with a few other cartoons.

Could it be "the littles"? they weren't mice but had tails and pointy ears...

Thank you Burn, we can work in peace now. :)
