Sex & Nudity
-
- There is some kissing, elephant characters hold trunks and hug in some scenes, but there is no nudity, no sexual dialogue and no innuendo jokes.
- The character Lady Rataxes wears a dress in some scenes which shows the shape of her behind through it.
- Babar is seen in his boxer shorts once.
- Cornelius's underwear are hung (as a prank) from a flagpole which Troubadour is putting up for the morning.
- Rataxes pants split while he is exercising in one scene, and his bare behind is briefly visible.
- Animal characters are drawn on occasion without clothing, but they are not "naked", nor are they drawn with any genitalia, and they all obtain clothing later on.
- Babar is seen in a pair of polka dotted boxer shorts, which later Celeste tells him look "very cute" while they are in bed for the night.
- Flora hides in a bathroom and photographs Cornelius without his knowledge while he is taking a bath. Nothing overly explicit is shown; he is only seen from the shoulders up in water.
- Characters are seen in bathing suits with no tops on in various scenes, as well as characters wearing bathrobes at night.
- Babar and Celeste lie to Cornelius and Pompadour, telling the two advisors that they are going to an "Aardvark Assembly" (a cover-up for their annual honeymoon anniversary). Later on, Cornelius and Pompadour indicate that they know about the cover-up.
- On occasion, Young Celeste's panties are visible and sometime Flora and Isabelle's are too.
Violence & Gore
-
- There are various scenes of characters in peril (getting trapped in a kitchen fire, getting stuck in a windstorm).
- Characters get mildly injured in some scenes, such as Pompadour and Cornelius falling in a hot air balloon and seemingly ending up knocked out briefly, but they aren't severely hurt.
- Rataxes often smashes furniture with his bare hands, yells violently and makes threats, tosses around and roughs up characters such as Basil and Pompadour, and he can at times appear quite menacing.
- Animals are placed in cages and locked up with chains and ropes.
- Characters are poisoned twice, both Madame and Flora,but both of them eventually recover.
- Characters are frequently sent to Rataxes's dungeon and forcefully shoved in, but are rarely injured.
- Zephir plays a prank on Pompadour by sending him a box which, when opened, presents a pop-up rhinoceros head on a spring. Pompadour becomes terrified and falls unconscious in front of the palace.
- Characters faint and pass out on various occasions but are usually alright and not severely hurt.
- Pompadour is electrocuted on-screen while attempting to rewire stage lights. He is seen uninjured in the next scene, though.
- Madame Soretoza, a minor ostrich character, falls down a fake stage set staircase, but is unharmed.
- Unnamed elephants are seen wearing casts in two scenes. In the first scene, Madame is wrapping an elephant's broken trunk in a cast. In another scene, an elephant is seen limping with a cast on his leg, and Babar advises him to get a wheelchair.
- Troubadour is thrown into a stone water fountain by Princess Midge, but in spite of being a bit shaken up he is unharmed.
- While laughing at a fake statue which Zephir has been mailed by Arthur in one scene, Cornelius jokingly slaps Pompadour and he hits his head against the malt shop counter.
- A turtle is seen biting a man in the crotch, as well as turtles biting men on their noses, behinds and eyelids in an attempt to keep them from invading the jungle.
- Babar and Basil are injured when two bikes collide. Babar is stuck in the spokes of the wheels, and Basil makes bizarre comments multiple times before passing out, which is repeated in the same scene.
- Zephir (as a prank) removes the bolts from Arthur's bike, causing him to fall off as the bike falls apart while he rides it.
- Babar chases Zephir around, threatening to "clobber" him.
Profanity
-
- There is mild name-calling ("crazy", "silly", "ridiculous", "pompous", "fool") but no swearing/cussing and no slurs.
- Characters are often yelled at and ordered around, mostly by Rataxes, who is depicted as frequently verbally abusive to Basil.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- There is no drug usage, alcohol drinking or smoking on the show. Characters have drinks but presumably it is water and soda.
- In one scene a minor character mentions being splashed with water by a fireman as he was "lighting up", which older viewers will recognize as a smoking term but younger viewers might not pick up on it.
- The adult elephant characters appear to have a vice for mangoes as a running joke; they gamble in a form of poker for mangoes at night, and Pompadour starts behaving erratically when Rataxes stops sending mangoes to Celesteville; he is seen jumping up and down, obsessively demanding mangoes, and eating mangoes whole when he finally gets access to them, which was very unlike his usual character.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
Spoilers
Violence & Gore
- Babar's mother is shot by a hunter twice, and dies after being shot the second time around. Babar is visibly grief-stricken and his deceased mother is shown on-screen.
- A hunter lights a forest on fire in an attempt to kill every animal there. He is then killed himself after getting stuck in the fire. The death is not gory, but it is disturbing.
- The Old King eats a poisoned mushroom and dies on-screen. Not gory, but very unsettling.
- Pompadour and Cornelius are held at gunpoint by hunters. They aren't hurt, but they are made to stand there in front of rifles for several minutes while attempting to surrender.
- Babar is shown getting bullied in school. A child beats him, ties his trunk up in a knot, mocks him and also bullies disabled students, as well.
- Cornelius attempts to fly a rocket-ship and the rocket-ship fails; the characters are horrified, believing he might be dead, but he is only mildly injured and laughs it off.
- A tribe of cannibal werewolves attempt to boil Pom, Flora and Alexander in a pot of water, but they escape.
- Cornelius and Pompadour become trapped on a speeding train and are nearly killed because Rataxes has sawed his way through a high bridge in order to crash the train (notably he had no intention of killing the two elephants, only stopping the train). Babar and his friends are able to stop the train before it crashes.
- Zephir is nearly killed by a trap set up in the chimney of Rataxes's palace; he is shown narrowly avoiding getting impaled by several metal spikes. Babar, Pompadour and Basil briefly fear that he has been killed, but Zephir laughs it off later.
- Numerous elephants are trapped and chained up in cages, including Cornelius and Pompadour. Pompadour asks Cornelius to explain what "ivory" is, as well as what "circuses" and "zoos" are; Cornelius tries to avoid scaring his friend but vaguely tells him that "elephants are in high demand".
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- The death of Babar's mother is quite disturbing and features her being shot twice, dying on-screen and falling into water which has been tinted red by the sun. Babar is visibly upset and grieves for a long time afterwards.
- There are two on-screen deaths as well as two characters being non-fatally poisoned.
- There is a scene in which an intruder breaks into Babar's palace, ties up Pompadour, and the children try to find him and rescue him, believing that he has been possibly killed by a "monster".
- The scenes with the hunter are very shocking and disturbing. He gloats over destroying animals and murders a character.
- Babar has nightmares which are unsettling and feature him being chased by objects.
- Rataxes and Babar nearly die twice - once by falling into what appears to be a bottomless pit, and also by nearly drowning in quicksand. They both end up surviving in both scenes, but the uncertainty of it may frighten younger viewers.
- Cornelius and Pompadour become trapped in a house fire and are seen coughing and choking in thick gray smoke, after which they are seen lying on the floor holding their trunks together. The palace chef rescues them and puts out the fire.
