Earlier this year I posted a toilet training clip taken from a popular Japanese cartoon called Shimajiro.  Well, I stumbled upon more clips that are just as cute and humorous. 

I found another toilet training clip in which Shimajiro is walking through the mall with his mom and sister.  This is the first time Shimajiro uses a squatter toilet.

In this clip, Shimajiro is taught how to properly cross a street by a lion police officer who drives a flying car.  If animals were to form an animal version of The Village People, the lion would definitely fit right in.

This one isn't quite as funny, but it teaches some good lessons.  A ninja teaches Shimajiro good manners on the train and in the supermarket.

I don't know a lick of Japanese, but the cartoons are self-explanatory even without subtitles. 

Oh, here are some bonus clips of a mom who seems to be using "the power of Shimajiro" to stop her toddler from tantrumming.  More clips here and here.  I'm sure my son would stop tantrumming too if I offered up a handful of licorice and a trip to Disney World.
