11-year old bathed by a man in a barn, while an older boy watches him condescendingly.

A woman is stealing food while the boy and a friend are skinny dipping. They sunbathe nude afterwards.

The boy spanks an slighty older one with branches, but feels bad about it. The other boy rubs mud over his bottom to relieve the soreness.

BONUS: Till Eulenspiegel (Germany 1975)

Just the first 20 seconds. The title of the movie is painted across a boy's bare bottom. That's a new one on me

Edit: there's a bathing scene with naked adults and kids starting at 1:10:45

Greystoke: The legend of Tarzan 1984
This is an English language film, which normally would not apply to this topic. However, the jungle scenes were filmed in
Cameroon, so I will jokingly suggest this film is out of Africa.

19:06 to 23:10
The boy being around nine years old runs around naked in the jungle and wrestles with the apes.
The shot at 21:04 shows butt closeup with balls showing. An amazing scene for a film rated PG.

From then on until 32:10 a young teenage Tarzan moves around with no clothing on.
The teen Tarzan is required to hide the crotch more thoroughly, as there are fewer glimpses of the genitalia.

If young Johnny Sheffield (the character of BOY) of the early 1940s Tarzan movies ran around naked the Tarzan movies would have
been even more popular.

Fewer but not none. They last longer if you play it at 0.25x. The implication being that while they may minimize what is shown in the movie, he was really naked for most of the filming. Must have been fun editing that film. From what I can tell, he had nothing to be embarrassed about. I'm jealous that he appeared to be bigger at that age than I am now.
