Romania’s TV watchdog has issued a warning to a children’s channel for broadcasting cartoons which contained nudity.
The National Audio-Visual Council asked Minimax television to stop airing ‘indecent’ episodes of the Hungarian Folk Tales series.
In one episode, a princess strips naked to negotiate with a farmer for some dancing piglets. The princess ends up in bed with two men to decide which one she will marry.
In another episode, a girl shows her naked body as a gift for the emperor.
The cartoon series is broadcast every day at noon in Romania and is watched by young children.
Romanian authorities cannot fine Minimax, which is licensed in the Czech Republic, but says the channel will be blocked if the cartoons are shown again before the watershed.
