Line #12 YMMV/LittleLulu


1	* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff:
2	** Lulu is ''extremely'' popular in Latin America and most of her cartoons have been remastered for Spanish-speaking audiences - not to mention the Portuguese-speaking Brazil, where "Tubby's Club" is still used for overtly male ensembleslocations, and a manga-like comic with teen versions of the characters ran for four years. In a similar vein to the 2000s [[WesternAnimation/HollyHobbieAndFriends Holly Hobbie]] reboot, the comic depicts the original Lulu as Teen!Lulu's grandmother.
3	** Same went with the Greek audience, until Modern Times (the company that published the 1990's show and various comics) went bankrupt. Even with the company's resurrection as "Paper Bookland" / "Web Entertainment", there's no Little Lulu material published yet.
4	* HilariousInHindsight: When Famous Studios got tired of paying for the rights to make ''Lulu'' shorts, they cancelled their contract for ''Lulu'' and created a SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute called ''WesternAnimation/LittleAudrey'' and ran with that instead. A few decades down the road, a company called Classic Media (who would themselves later be bought up by Creator/DreamWorksAnimation) would buy up the patents and copyrights of both franchises.
5	* MainstreamObscurity: Little Lulu isn't very well known amongst the general public today. But during the height of Lulu's popularity, she was one of the biggest icons of comic books, with issues of her comic selling as many as one million copies. Critics still hail John Stanley's run on Little Lulu as one of comics' all-time greats, on par with Creator/CarlBarks' run on [[ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge]].
6	* MyRealDaddy: While Marjorie Henderson Buell created Little Lulu for ''The Saturday Evening Post'', it was John Stanley's nearly 15-year run on the ''Little Lulu'' comic books which inarguably defined the character.
7	* NightmareFuel: Lulu's dream sequence in "Musica-Lulu" where she is tried by a KangarooCourt of musical instruments for neglecting to play her violin. After she escapes imprisonment, she is chased by angry giant instruments and musical notes, among them some resembling GiantSpiders who catch her in webbing.
8	* ToyShip: Lulu and Tubby.
9	* ValuesDissonance:
10	** From the original 1940s theme song: ''Though you're wild as any Zulu and you're just as hard to tame''. So when the 1990s show reused the same song, the line became ''Though you're wild you know it's true, Lu, and you're very hard to tame''.
11	** The 1940s cartoons in general are filled with these. The earlier cartoons had the stereotypical black maid as Lulu's caregiver before she was eventually dropped. In the first short "Eggs Don't Bounce" Lulu actually dresses in Blackface at one point. In "Bored of Education", Lulu's teacher punishes Tubby twice by smacking his rear end with a ruler which was standard for its time.[[note]]Even then, however, there were those who found it questionable. While corporal punishment in schools is illegal in many states, there are still some states where it's allowed.[[/note]]
12	** In the earlier segments of "Marge's Little Lulu" series, which ran from 1948 to 1984, many jokes where the humor was derived from Lulu, Tubby, or any other kid getting a spanking.
13	* TheWoobie: Tubby becomes this in a lot of stories -- though with his attitude he often ends up the [[JerkassWoobie Jerkass kind of Woobie]].
