Lol gotta love those Saban lyrics
Mocking the general outcry that follows nonsense about kids maybe seeing anything remotely sexual.
I'll make sure to run it by you next time though.

Did you just compare a hanging, a disturbing act that ends a life, to a penis... which a lot of people on this planet have and is perfectly natural?
That's all I ask. Thank you.
I said cultural shock. It would be just as shocking to see THIS in an American kids show as it would be to see a person hanging in the background of an [animated] European kids show. Although I should have thought of a better analogy, since hanging is not really a "violent" thing necessarily, and the main point I was trying to make to him is that realistic violence is not seen as acceptable in an American kids show, just as this drawing is certainly not acceptable (and I wouldn't think it would be acceptable in a European kids show either).

Maya the Bee was originally a show from the 80's I think. Aired around the same time as David. The license was acquired a few years back by a Belgian company, and they've remade it along with several other old school cartoons like Wickie the viking and Heidi.
I guess they just don't care to deny this, but then I don't think it's a huge problem anyway.
I was watching Maya the Bee along with David the Gnome , Littl' Bits , Noozles , Grimms fairy tale classics and Eurekas Castle during the early days of Nick Jr when I was in Kindergarten.

No one would approve, of course, but there wouldn't be outraged moms crusading on social networks to protect their kids, maybe.
But then it's a quite a crude, vulgar representation, the kind of graffiti dick you find in dirty public toilets..
For me it's not the penis itself as much as the fact someone thought of sneaking one in a cartoon for kids; that's weird and twisted.
You guys could maybe direct at least a little criticism toward the looser artists who thought it be super cool to put a penis in the background of a kids show.
Maybe instead of tripping over each other to make another clever "think of the children" remark, try to have a tiny bit of perspective?

Weird, in my country we also changed the lyrics to something that roughly translates to "flies, flies, flies the bee Maya. Puts a finger in her ass and goes 'Ahia!' (equivalent of English 'ouch!' and pronounced Aya).
Apparently kids were much worse than whoever drew the penis.
it's far more likely that someone drew it as a joke to be passed around the office (there are tons of stories of these happening for every kid's cartoon, one of the rugrats ones leaked out and is quite vulgar) and it accidentally ended up used as an art asset for an object in this 3D-rendered cartoon without anyone noticing.
A. That's not what the studio apparently thinks
B. Why would putting a hard to see penis sketch on a random background object be a joke to pass around the office?
C. Why would a professional artists who thinks middle school penis jokes are still funny, accidentally putting this in there change anything?

Imagine if someone took their perfectly natural cock out at a playground. Do you see how that might be a problem?
We get it, child molesters are evil. But sometimes a penis joke is just a penis joke.
And sometimes it's inappropriate and doesn't warrant your soapbox.

Y'know I've always wondered about this. The most violent films I've seen have come out of Europe.

oh man
do I have to think this is irresponsible and disgusting?
because I'll do it if I gotta but I'm really trying not to think it's great and hilarious

At first I was thinking this was about the original hand drawn one, if that went unnoticed all those decades it would be even stranger.
Maya The Bee is more of a Kindergarten to at most 2nd grade thing.

That's funny because the Maya series is a decade older than David the Gnome.

Yeah, there was an animated tv show with Maya the Bee in the 70's and the character is probably 100 years old.
I've seen scenes of that show and I'd say those are still pretty tame considering all the other stuff the show has done.
In fact I too was actually kind of expecting this to be about Wakfu because it'd sure fit the bill, kind of.

Ehm... what? No, this is not the same as someone hanging in the background. It's a crude drawing of a penis that none of the kids have probably even noticed. It shouldn't be there, but it is also nothing to be very concerned by.
