Cheriya Manushyarum Valiya Lokavum
''Cheriya Manushyarum Valiya Lokavum'' (''Small Men and the Big World'') is a cartoon by the film director G. Aravindan. The serial cartoon was published in the last page of Malayalam weekly, ''Mathrubhumi'' from 1961 to 1973. The cartoon dealt with the adventures of the central characters Ramu and Guruji, mingled with political and social satires.

The series was preceded by two more cartoon series namely ''Ramuvinte Sahasika Yathrakal'' and ''Guruji'' featuring the central characters of ''Cheriya Manushyarum Valiya Lokavum''.
