[3] Awards [ edit ] Angry Dance: In “I Want My Dinner!”, when the Princess starts eating the monster’s dinner, he angrily stomps and waves his arms. I said thank you to God recently.

And I suppose that’s God.Happy Dance: In “I Want a Bunny!”, the Princess dances with joy upon learning that she can have the bunny she wants.

Then, it turns out he saved the Princess a slice. Does Not Like Spam: Subverted in “I Want My Mum”.

Neat Freak: In “I Want to Go Home”, the Duchess of Somewhereorother vacuums the lawn every day and doesn’t want cake crumbs dropped on it. Not Allowed to Grow Up: Zigzagged. The Princess stays four, while her brother (who does not appear in the show) seems to have aged two years. Later on in the story the little princess goes to school, whereby she realises that wining isn’t so easy anymore. She tries her hardest to win one of the four big trophies in her school cabinet, but unfortunately despite her efforts she’s not successful. Nevertheless what the little princes didn’t realise is that there were actually five trophies, and the last one was actually for her. The little princes won a trophy, fairly for her effort. Ross won the 1986 Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis, picture books category, for Ich komm dich holen!, ( I'm coming to get you! - Andersen, 1984.

Going Commando: In one of the animated skits not related to the TV series, Princess's skirt blows up and it reveals that she's not wearing underwear.I was excited by the war because I didn’t realise what it meant. I was too young. To me, Hitler was just a funny chap with floppy hair and a funny moustache. I could draw him easily and I used to like drawing him because it would make people laugh. He was just a character – a figure of fun. Guys are Slobs: Discussed in “I Want a Sister”, where the Princess hopes her new sibling won’t be a boy because “brothers are smelly”. However, the Maid points out that girls can be smelly too.

In “I Want to Win!”, the Princess finally wins a trophy, without anyone throwing the match or having to cheat, but it’s just a small trophy for “trying the hardest”. Working with Roald Dahl on Fantastic Mr Fox and The Magic Finger was delightful. I’ve come across far lesser authors who tend to want to dominate, who tell the illustrator what to do and how to do it. But Roald Dahl never did that. He was happy to let you get on with it. I loved being in his company. Everyone Has Standards: In “I Want My Dummy!”, the Admiral and General may be grown men who play with toys, but even they think it’s weird to still use a dummy (pacifier) at age four. So does the Prime Minister, even though he’s an old man who still rides a tricycle.

Annoyingly Repetitive Child: In “I Want a Bedtime Story!”, the Princess annoys the adult residents of the castle (except the King, who’s away) by demanding more and more bedtime stories. I’ve known nothing like Covid. It’s awful. I feel more uncomfortable about Covid than ever I did about Hitler. I feel thankful I had 80-odd years of life without it, and I feel sorry for people being born into a world with this disease in it. From the first episode to the most recent, the series has been produced completely in the UK using the talented animation industry available to us.
