Sex & Nudity
Violence & Gore
-
- A woman is thrown out a window and impaled on a broken candy cane. The corpse is later seen from many angles, making the wound fully visible, though no blood is shown.
- While few "details" are shown, this show is definitely not for children. Decapitations, dismemberment, torture, scenes of "hell". Fairy tales at their most morbid.
- All of the severe moments are animated "tastefully" in 2D with no blood.
Profanity
-
- The characters not only avoid profanity but typically speak in a very polite and restrained manner, even when in a state of extreme emotion.
- The word "idiot" used infrequently.
- In one episode, "Hell", "Go to Hell", "The Devil knows", and "Damnation" are used frequently, literally, and comedically.
- Most of the violence is non-graphic and played off as worse than it is to give the show a false feeling of maturity.
- Early in the series, the characters speak in an incredibly polite manner. Impolite speech becomes more common as the series progresses.
- "God," "hell," and one use of "damn" in the fifth episode respectively.
- In season 1 episode 5, Gretel clearly says "dang" but the subtitles on UK say it as "damn".
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- The show portrays food addiction in a comical yet disturbing manner.
- Casual drinking is infrequently shown, and nothing is explicitly refered to as alchohol.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- A girl screams bitterly at a group of children about pain and hopelessness. It is done in a comedic yet sad manner.
- Multiple characters die in brutal ways, though the show uses comedy and silhouettes to avoid it.
- The most graphic scene is a woman being impaled. Although no blood is shown, the impalement is visible and grizzly.
- Suggested rating: TV-Y7-FV for brief violent sequences. Some episodes: TV-PG for brief sequences of moderate violence. Pilot: TV-14 for implied cannibalism and brief sequences of moderate violence
- If it was rated by the MPA, it probably would be rated PG for action, violence, some dark thematic material, and mild language.
Spoilers
Sex & Nudity
- A girl (child) fantasizes holding a boy's (teenager) hand. He is later revealed to regularly make young girls fall in love with him only to steal their souls.
Violence & Gore
- A man chops the heads of two children off with a sword. It is shown in silhouette form, and no shot of the severed head is shown in 3D animation. No blood is shown & the victims survive.
- A child chops off her own finger in silhouette. The injury is occasionally shown from a few angles throughout the rest of the series.
Profanity
- A bird comedically remarks "I hope we see some guts!", hoping that the show will show more graphic violence in the future.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- A woman eats an infant (off screen) and it is implied she regularly kills and eats children of all ages.
- Four parents (two couples) go through a state of either fear or scarring depression due to the belief that they caused the death or disappearance of their children.
- The premise of the show is of two children being horribly abused by the adults around them, and this may frighten or sadden some viewers.
- A teenager is found out to imprison & verbally abuse his mother, though this is portrayed in a rather mild way.
- Season 1 episode 5 A child has to go to hell! Demons torturing people! A child must steal from the devil's head. Very intense for young child.
