Sex & Nudity

  • A lizard sheds her skin; at first, she seems like any other reptile, but when the narrator says "Let's watch this interesting procedure", she stands up, becoming humanoid in shape, and sheds her skin in the way a stripper strips off her clothes, dancing sensually with sassy saxophone music backing her up. At the end of the sketch, a black box saying "censored" appears over her body, implying that her breasts are showing.
  • The narrator addresses a deer by saying "Hello, dear.". The animal stands up on two legs, becoming humanoid in design, and sassily replies: "Hello there, big boy", and walks away, subtly swinging her hips.

Violence & Gore

Profanity

  • A tourist attempts to feed a bear in Yosemite National Park, despite a sign telling him not to. The bear flips and aggressively screams: "LISTEN, STUPID! CAN'T YOU READ?!" Even though the word "stupid" isn't the harshest insult, it's still very... passionate in its delivery.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • A tourist is shown smoking a cigar in Yosemite National Park. He drops it on the forest floor, still lit, triggering a park warden to run towards it at a comical speed. It might look like he did it to avoid a forest fire, but once he arrives, he takes it in his mouth and has a go at it. We must remember that this cartoon was made when smoking was much more socially acceptable than it is now.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Spoilers

Violence & Gore

  • There is a moment with a lot of shock value; in a bog full of croaking frogs, the focus shifts on to a single frog, closer up, and the narrator says: "Here we show you a closeup of a frog croaking". The amphibian then pulls out a gun, shoots him/herself in the head and falls into the water. A message is then shown; "PATRON'S NOTE: We are not responsible in any way for the puns used in this cartoon. The management." There isn't any blood, but it still comes across as very shocking.
