Ben & Holly's Little Kingdom 是Nick Jr. 的一套优秀儿童动画节目。
Ben & Holly's Little Kingdom曾在2009年获得英国电影和电视艺术学院年度儿童领域非常佳学龄前动画学院奖。英国电影和电视艺术学院（The British Academy of Film and Television Arts，简称BAFTA）每年颁发学院奖，旨在奖励电影、电视、儿童影视和互动媒体领域的优秀之作。
Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom讲述的是小精灵elves、仙女fairies和昆虫insects的故事。男主人公Ben是个8岁的可爱的小精灵，他的好朋友Holly也是8岁，是个专横又可爱的仙女公主。正如其名，这部动画片主要讲述的就是小精灵Ben和小仙女Holly这两个朋友之间的日常生活场景。Holly是个小仙女，手持魔法棒，会变魔法。不过，她的魔法非常一般，经常失灵，想变的东西出不来，不想变的倒出来了，非常有意思。Ben是个小精灵，他没有Holly的魔法，不过他有的是聪明才智，许多Holly解决不了的问题，基本都是Ben用他的小脑袋想出来的。故事中除了Ben和Holy，出台非常多的要算Little Kingdom里面的“国King”，他是Holly, Daisy, and Poppy的爸爸；还有“后Queen”，她是Holly, Daisy, and Poppy的妈妈。还有Ben Elf的父母Mr Elf and Mrs Elf.
对于看过Peppa Pig的小朋友，接触到Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom，会有似曾相识的感觉。因为里面的配音演员，大都是同一班人马。Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom的制作公司是伦敦的 Astley Baker Davies, 就是制作Peppa Pig的那个公司。Astley Baker Davies制作的还有一部动画，是Big Knights。
