blackcatula:I can’t believe I forgot all about this episode!There is a real legend about the Boto (freshwater dolphins) who show up on summer nights at parties, looking for and flirting with potential friends, to take them down to the riverside. Now, in many versions of the legend, the Boto takes the form of a man on the hunt for women (in some cases looking to impregnate the women before returning to the sea), as is often the case with trickster shapeshifters……but the Wild Thornberrys interestingly chose to make the Boto take the form of a woman instead! The script is couched in 1998-Nickelodeon-coded language so that it avoids saying what it actually is, but yep, you can’t convince me it wasn’t about Debbie being gay for a dolphin girl. -- source link
