Crayon Shin Chan is a Japanese anime which was released in 1992. When the anime was brought over to the United States, Vitello Productions censored the anime in order to make it more family friendly by removing any Japanese text in order to make it more acceptable for western audiences. The Vitello dub only aired in Europe, Australia and parts of South America.
Censorship[]
European censorship[]
- 03a - There's a deleted scene where they were sharing a bath which replaced the teacher in the tub with screenshots.
- 06b - Changed the dialogue in the beginning, Enzo saying that he threatened teachers wasn't in the original. And they changed a trip to a hot spring to a trip to Paris.
- 20c - At 3:06 where Cosmo is kissing his mother, her face has actually been edited in by Vitello. In the original he was actually dreaming about being breast fed by her, hence why he was sucking on Shin's face.
- 30c - Mitsy's story about the "pants fairy" wasn't in the Japanese version, instead she pulled Shinnosuke's "Elephant" to give him a rude awakening. Also when Shin falls asleep on the toilet, Mitsy's head was edited in front of Shin's genitals.
- 42b - Showed a censor bar when Shin is doing his elephant dance.
