  We present the results of near-infrared imaging simulations of young
star-forming regions in the Magellanic Clouds to be observed with the European
Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT). The simulated J,H,K-band images show that we
should be able to obtain nearly complete samples of young brown dwarfs above
the deuterium burning limit (M > 13 MJup) in low-mass star-forming regions in
the Clouds. Moreover, very young giant planet-mass objects in the Clouds should
be detectable with the E-ELT under favourable conditions.
