When in the Belgian city Brussels the water statue 'Manneken Pis' (a naked minor that is urinating water) is shown and discussed by Bassie and Adriaan. While normally the statue is completely naked, for this episode it is dressed in childrens clothing. This reminds of the English version of
Shinchan (1992) in which the original Japanese version (in which child Shinchan was completely naked) was adjusted to show Shinchan dressed. Coincidentally in the same year (1992) the animated television series of Shinchan started airing in Japan, just one month before the premiere of this episode of "Bassie & Adriaan".
