(111,121 posts)Most of Europe isn't nearly as prudish as the US is and I've seen a lot of children's stuff from there that would make fundagelicals burst into flame on the spot. Kids can cope with a lot of things sex phobic adults think they can't, especially when it's something as ridiculous as Dillermand.
Then again, I was a kid who vastly preferred Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale to anything Disney put out.

Adults might have their minds in the gutter, but little kids don't.
