In Denmark we have a rather popular trilogy of books/movies called Ternet Ninja which is about the vengeful spirit of a samurai who gets trapped in a little ninja doll and teams up with an awkward teen boy in a boring Danish neighborhood where everybody is a bit crazy.

The trilogy, outside of just being a lot of goofy fun, is actually also a bit of social critique of child labor in third world countries and how we in the west benefit from children's suffering.

The man behind Ternet Ninja is a Danish comic who's been making children's entertainment for years and has this extended universe where Ternet Ninja fits into. The topic of child labor and western exploitation of children is a reoccurring theme in a few of his storylines.
