** The ending was censored in the 1995 French broadcast of the 1992 TMS anime, first by omitting the final three episodes, and then by ending the final episode just short of Nello and Patrasche's deaths. The uncut final episode would not be aired in France until the series was rerun on cable in 2005.[[note]]Interestingly, the better-known Nippon Animation series from 1975 has never aired in France.[[/note]]
