1977. That was before children became jaded, and actually had a childhood. Most of those kids were boys and looked to be between 7 and 10. Can you imagine a Raggedy Ann & Andy film ever being marketed to boys between 6 and 10 today? It would be reserved for toddlers and preschoolers. And Ann would have to have anime eyes with hooker make up and bare abs with a belly ring. They’d probably drop andy all together if they hadn’t turned him into an effeminate sexually confused confidant to Ann.
From this.
Maybe I'm thinking about it a bit too much, but does that last sentence come across as homophobic to you? I mean, I'd be annoyed too if Andy was reduced to a Sassy Gay Friend stereotype (c'mon, it's OOC for him), but you say "effeminate" and "sexually confused" like it's a bad thing.
Four chapters left until I'm done with 50 Shades of Grey. Thank god.
