According to a comment on a Little Lulu intro. Little Lulu was very popular in America at the time. However, it was not popular at all in Japan.
The Japanese dub is completely lost, with the absence of any home video releases. Despite this, bits of material have surfaced online. On July 1, 2020, Twitter User @doughnut_f posted a couple of images from the original Japanese opening, which came from a 2016 Japanese auction. An August 2020 Japanese auction also emerged, containing a 16mm film reel of episode 6 from the original Japanese dub. Images from this film reel and a short 20-sec clip were saved by YouTuber ChozinFellers.  
Currently, the whole series is available in Spanish (courtesy of YouTuber NesGamer90) and in Arabic (courtesy of YouTuber Ayam Zaman لولو الصغيرة). The Swedish dub of Episode 6 was uploaded on December 16, 2014 (courtesy of YouTuber Muppet). As for the Italian dubs, the only footage of the 1981 dub is the opening, while the compilation film released that year found its way onto YouTube on May 15, 2020, courtesy of FilmIsNow. YouTuber Emozioni Ritrovate had the 1995 Italian dub for sale since March 1, 2020.  


It aired in America in the 1980s. VHS tapes were not very popular and were very expensive at the time, so barely anyone could record it.
On July 20th, 2019, ChozinFellers uploaded six full episodes of the ZIV International English dub of Little Lulu, which was originally uploaded by now-deleted YouTube channel Fogelogel. ChozinFellers is awaiting for possible translators for the rest of the remaining episodes through "Project Lulu," and has a fansite dedicated to the anime, called "Fellers' Frontier."


The only known footage of the Japanese and English versions are the intro. However, the whole series is available in Spanish.
Soundtrack Laboratory Co., Ltd complied the original Japanese soundtracks for Little Lulu and Her Little Friends and Attack on Tomorrow into a CD album, which was released on August 25, 2021. This CD marks the first time in which these soundtracks have been released commercially.
