TIL that Sweden banned “Skippy the Bush Kangaroo” for being unrealistic

The series was dubbed into Spanish in Mexico, where it is known as Skippy el canguro, and has been distributed to most Spanish-speaking countries, including Cuba and Spain, where it became very popular. The series crossed the Iron Curtain and was aired in Czechoslovakia in the 1970s and 1980s, and is still being broadcast in Iran. The show was forbidden to be shown in Sweden, where psychologists feared the show would mislead children into believing animals could do things they actually could not.

  1. I find it amazing that they censored Skippy, but let other programs alone, which was overt socialistic propaganda that is rumored to have ruined a whole generation 🙂
