Netflix Pulls Episode of Kids’ Show “Maya the Bee” After Parents Spot a Penis In One of Its Scenes

Browse By

Maya the Bee is an animated show on Netflix about the adventures of a little bee as she becomes an adult member of bee society. As with many kids shows, it offers life lessons and learning opportunities — but parents could have never predicted that a lesson on a man’s anatomy would pop up in one of the series’ episodes too.

Parents were outraged when a penis appeared on Episode 35, “disguised” as graffiti drawn on a tree. Two parents’ reactions in particular went viral. Ariel Wray, the mother of a young boy, had no problem letting Netflix know she has no time for dicks hidden in her toddler’s TV shows, and she took to Twitter last week to call out the streaming service:

 According to BuzzFeed, another mother voiced her concerns on the unwelcome penis in her kid’s show. “I know I’m not going crazy and I know that something like this shouldn’t be in a kids’ show whatsoever,” Chey Robinson said in a now-deleted Facebook post. “I’m extremely disgusted by it, there should be no reason my kids have to see something like this. I don’t know if they’re gonna do something about this or what, but there’s no reasons why this should be in this show.”
