(In Droopy-Voice:)
Hello all you happy people.
Back to normal voice:
On my search for the restored and uncut series "Madicken" I came across this thread.
I saw how much work "Night457" puts into this series, so I thought I'd draw your attention to the ZDF media library.
The series "Madita" (the German title of "Madicken") is there until January 14th and it already looks like this version
comes from a newly restored version that was made in Sweden ( because of the "Svens Filmindustrie" Logo at the
beginning and the end of each episode)
The bad thing is, the episodes are not uncut, not in 4:3 (but in 16:9)
and the highest resolution you can get in the media library is 1280x720.
(and of course it is only german language)
The cuts were certainly made by the German TV station (more on that in a moment),
but I don't know whether the station ZDF is also responsible for cropping the picture to 16:9.
But it is at least proof that the series has been newly restored in Sweden and I hope
that this version was made in 4:3.
The cuts that were made to the episodes probably affect all scenes in which the two sisters are naked
– the broadcaster will probably not find that harmless in 2022 and will also cut out the scenes with
naked children in other old films and series.
The old German copies always ran uncut on another station (Pay-TV station "Junior").
Since I didn't have time to compare the uncut and cut versions myself, I read about it in a forum shortly after
the episodes were published in the media library.
It was about the long (more than 2 minutes) cut in the first episode when the two girls are in the meadow
with their parents, running around naked.
I remembered that the beginning of the first movie also had a scene where Madicken and Elisabet
were jumping around naked in the bedroom - so I just checked out episode 7 of the series
- that scene was cut here too.
Since, as I said, I haven't had time to compare the episodes with each other, I can't say if more was cut.
But I suspect that only the scenes where the children can be seen naked were cut.
(And I think those were the only two scenes?)
Enough talking, here are the links to the ten episodes in the ZDF media library.

You will probably need a VPN for Germany. Then simply copy the links one by one into "Jdownloader"
and expand each episode and select the largest file.
You can also use the "MediathekView" program - after starting it, wait until it has collected
the entire library from German media libraries - and then search for "Madita".
