Sex & Nudity

None. Some tender nuzzling between two lions.

Violence & Gore

The bird is sat on, threatened, and locked in a cage, all for comic effect.

Many scary scenes with battles; several end in death. Hyenas are involved in many of the fight scenes: one has its cheek slashed, others are knocked around, one lands in a thorny patch and several fall into a brush fire. One character is shown being trampled in a wildebeest stampede, and then he is shown falling from a cliff to his death. Another character rolls down a long rocky incline, and almost dies of heat exposure. There is a fight ending with one of the participants being killed by hyenas (off-camera). One character is dunked in a boiling pot. A warthog is nearly killed and eaten by a lioness. A lion and a lioness fight.

Two lions have a brutal fight in slow-motion. They slash each other. Despite the violence no blood is ever shown.

A lion puts his claws into another lions paws and plunges him into a stampede below.

Profanity

None.

None
