My daughter watched this cartoon on Netflix when she was about 4 years old. Really liked it.
Part of the story is that there's a mishap and this little friendly white ghost turns black. Well of course he's going to try to look like himself again.
However there's a lot of talk around black/white involved. It's made into a huge deal that he has turned black (read bad) and he has to turn white again. When he finally turns white he's not saying he's happy that he looks like himself again but rather that he's white white white.
I hope this was not intended about racial matters. Nevertheless it's assigning values to these colours (black as negative and white as positive).
I've seen that many people are of the same opinion. Other than that it's a nice cartoon. I watched it with my daughter but then at the end emphasized that the little ghost is happy he looks like himself again and not because he's white.
