"Unlike Little Lulu, which was a more gentle sort of cartoon, Little Audrey was, for its day, a rather anarchistic character who generally understands right from wrong in the end."

In actual fact, Lulu was also notable for wreaking havok though her dealings with the adult world; this was, in fact, one of the defining elements of the character, particularly in its animated incarnation. Both Lulu and Audrey were following a trend for "high spirited" youngsters exemplified by characters such as Jimmy Hatlo's Little Iodine, Ernie Bushmiller's Nancy etc. Joe Edwards' L'il Jinx belongs to the same sub-genre of mischievous little girls, although she actually debuted in comics a few months before Audrey first appeared on film. All of the above could be described as 'anarchistic' to varying degrees (Little Iodine seeming to occupy the topmost position in that regard).

"Certain cartoons by the late 1940s had lost the edge that made/makes them appeal to adults, some going rather sentimental with bland stories. Little Audrey was a likely role model for Marmalade Atkins and other badly behaved type of girl characters."

Meaning unclear. Which cartoons in particular had gone 'rather sentimental with bland stories'? Which cartoons were more appealing to adult audiences? Which group did Audrey belong to?
