Oh, olde tyme fairy tales, your moralizing on how people should not disobey authority is so reassuringly anvilicious!
The interesting thing about this for me is that the reason this was an anime before it was a Disney was probably because of the popularity of Dutch fairy tales in Japan after the Tokugawa era. It’s interesting to think that we have a period of draconian foreign policy to thank for such an American cultural product. But history is like that I suppose!
