And with its abounding cast of hotties, all of whom get far wilder (not to mention nakeder) than anyone in those films ever contemplated, it's likely to pull in many a customer. [It's] a lot of infectious fun, from its almost unnervingly catchy retro theme song, to its genre-appropriate montages, to its occasionally sharp zingers about being height-challenged. ... What you've got is one of the absolute must-see adult motion pictures of 2012." Earlier in the year, Revenge of the Petites was honored as Feature Movie of the Year at the 2012 Urban X Awards. The movie also received a 2012 Gold Kush award for Feature Film (XXX Category) from the Humboldt International/420 Awards. Revenge of the Petites features a diverse cast of 23 adult stars and 30 extras. The movie stars Marie McCray, Skin Diamond, and Vanessa Cage, and also features Leilani Leeanne, Celeste Star, Dani Daniels, Cassandra Nix, Ashley Jane, Zoey Kush, Riley Reid, Kris Slater, Sativa Verte, Heidi Hanson, Katie St. Ives, Seth Dickens, Victoria Rae Black, Tia Cyrus, Nina Devon, Hayden Hawkens, Talon, Sarah Shevon, Trinity St. Clair, and James Deen.
