Plot
The show follows the adventures of the titular Pussywillow Pixies, a group of pixies who live in Pussywillow Hollow. They are so named because they are able to hide in the trees of the hollow by folding their wings over themselves, appearing as pussy willow buds to unsuspecting passersby. The six pixies are:


 * Elderberry, the leader
 * Pansy, a clumsy pixie
 * Lilac, a vain pixie with a Southern accent
 * Acorn, the youngest and the smallest
 * Bramble, the green pixie
 * Holly, the red head also sporting green

In a castle, there lives an evil witch named Maria and her evil cat Lily. They really hate the Pussywillow Pixies and they want to capture them. Maria uses her magic wand and Lily uses her sharp claws to capture the Pixies and send them to their castle.

They also want to eat them because they think they're delicious, but with the help of Pixie Dust the Pussywillow Pixies fly away from Maria's cage, they fly away from the castle and they go back to Pussywillow Hollow.
