Want to make something cuter? Just make it smaller. Look at kittens and puppies. Don't you just want to hug and squeeze them and call them George? Okay, perhaps not that far, but they are cute. And it's not merely being smaller, but also having a "smoother" shape than adult dogs and cats, and usually having bigger eyes. Of course, the best-known anime and manga method of making something cute is the Super-Deformed look (a.k.a. "Chibi"). The trope's title is from 'Fun-sized' candy bars, the smallest size typically seen as Halloween treats. Has nothing to do with a certain other Fun Size.

  • Want to make something cuter? Just make it smaller. Look at kittens and puppies. Don't you just want to hug and squeeze them and call them George? Okay, perhaps not that far, but they are cute. And it's not merely being smaller, but also having a "smoother" shape than adult dogs and cats, and usually having bigger eyes. Naturally, this is used in certain character designs to achieve a cute effect. Take how in Comics, Anime and Manga, younger characters have bigger eyes. This can be seen in shows where we see a character grow from childhood to adulthood. Some even have normal eyes when they're past their mid-20s. Of course, the best-known anime and manga method of making something cute is the Super-Deformed look (a.k.a. "Chibi"). In some cases however, it's primarily done to cram a recognizable variation of the character into a smaller space, such as a map screen, and the cute is just a bonus. The trope's title is from 'Fun-sized' candy bars, the smallest size typically seen as Halloween treats. Has nothing to do with a certain other Fun Size. Fun Size characters frequently take the form of Ridiculously Cute Critters, and may be Spinoff Babies or Sleep Mode Size versions of normal-sized characters. Compare Animation Anatomy Aging and Only a Model. When cuteness is pushed too far, it may Taste Like Diabetes. Examples of Fun Size include:
