You can, but not in the US or the UK.

For example Kirikou and the Sorceress, a French animated movie for kids based on West African tales.

In the movie there is a lot of non-sexualized nudity, which is perfectly normal for people living in a traditional west African village.

Because of that the movie was never released in the is and the UK despite the fact that it was quite popular in France and Europe.
