Mary read in full, the boat is not called Dark Side 12 , its called DS12.

Next time you watch a feature length cartoon (Shrek etc) take note of the layers. Typically their are two levels of story, one which follows the basic fairy tale for the kids and another that is full of innuendo for the adults.

Unlike a lot of TV cartoons (from bugs bunny through to the crap that is produced these days) Ruby Gloom is very valuable viewing. The key theme behind the series is that no matter what people look like, they are all the same on the inside. Compare that to the Brothers Grimm and their lessons. "If you go walking in the forest you'll either get eaten by a witch or a bear" "No matter how nice your new step mother may appear she is actually evil and either wants you dead or to be her slave". I think I'll take Ruby over Disney.
