Sex & Nudity

  • In one scene Mr.Fox and Mrs.Fox kiss briefly.
  • Reference to a female being the "town tart" in her youth.
  • Some innuendo, nothing too strong,

Violence & Gore

  • Several people attempt to find and kill some animals, using many different methods.
  • Farmers use guns frequently, but there is no blood.
  • Comical fighting is shown. There are two scenes in which characters claw at other characters, leaving deep scratches, but no blood.
  • Animals are electrocuted by an electric fence, but no one is hurt.
  • Mr. Fox kills chickens with his teeth. There is a reference to how grisly and bloody the process is, but it is an over-exaggeration and meant for humorous purposes, complete with comical discretion shots.

Profanity

  • Instead of using profanity, characters say sentences that would contain a swear word (especially the F word), but the word is replaced by the word "cuss" as a running joke. Some examples include "You scared the cuss out of us," "Don't you cuss with me," "What the cuss," and "cluster cuss."

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Mr. Bean makes and keeps a cellar full of hard apple cider, very alcoholic, which Mr. Fox steals.
  • The animals drink the alcoholic cider.
  • On one occasion, Mr. Fox smokes a tobacco pipe.
  • Franklin Bean is seen smoking a cigarette every time he appears.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Mrs. Bean brandishes a knife when two children foxes are in the kitchen. May make some feel intense
  • The main characters are hunted by several human, and run scared.
  • Sometimes there are face close ups of the characters. They can be sudden and unsettling.
  • The fight between Mr. Fox and Rat inside an electric generator room underground may be considered intense or scary for younger viewers. Most of the scene is in darkness, but brief moments of their fight are lit up by the crackling electricity. (Violent sounds may be heard.)
