I'm a big defender of political correctness, but as the show is written by a jamaican rastafarian and most of the voice actors are of west indian descent then how exactly is it racist?
rastamouse is utterly fantastic and entirely harmless.

And how does the reviewer know he's got dredlocks? He never takes his hat off!

...have now watched, and I totally understand the hype. That is the direction kids TV SHOULD be going. None of this Boobars shit.
Also...stereotyping black people? Bollocks! It only stereotypes mice!
