"It is weird that the production would be okay telling a story about a girl being raised to be a prostitute, but then pulling back from a song about a man expressing enjoyment at seeing a girls mature sexually." Excellent point!!! Although I suppose their thought process is that the sexual details of the career that's planned for Gigi are never discussed openly -- except in one line, delivered by her, that completely shocks Gaston. (I'm going by what happens in the movie.) Also, I assume the audience is expected to view Honore as a very likeable character, and to have him be the one who sings "Thank Heaven for Little Girls" is viewed as destroying that possibility for a modern American audience. But...your excellent point still stands.
