Another example, and the earliest use of "little green man" in the "New York Times" and "Chicago Tribune", dates from 1902, in a review of a children's book called "The Gift of the Magic Staff", where a supernatural "Little Green Man" is a boy's friend and helps him visit the cloudland fairies. The next use in the "New York Times" was in 1950, and references a planned movie by Walt Disney Corporation of a 1927 novel by poet/novelist Robert Nathan called "The Woodcutter's House". The only animated character in the picture was to be Nathan's "Little Green Man", a confidant of the woodland animals. (The movie was never made.)
