I'm ESL from Quebec. I want to describe a world where things are not sized right for big people. Should I use the wording "Big people, small world" or "Big people, little world" and why? My understanding is that small is the opposite of big but there's a show called "Little people, big world" so I'm confused. Thank you!

You may use either. 'Small world' is a well-known phrase; on the other hand, 'Little People. Big World' is a popular TV show.
