I honestly cannot understand what everyone is going on about in this discussion. "Thank Heaven for Little Girls" has always been a totally innocent Gallic appreciation of approaching womanhood. There is nothing leering of inappropriate about this song in the context of the story or otherwise. Both Gaston and Honore are lotharios, but their predilection is clearly for grown women. How different is this song from the phrases "She's going to be a knockout!" or She's going break many hearts!" that men often say about young girls. The overly PC concerns that would put this song in the mouths of Maman and Alicia is in itself offensive, and points to a self-fulfilling (and erroneous) interpretation of the song. And totally changes the meaning of the moment.

I completely agree, gcarl44.
