Sex & Nudity

  • A hippo flirts strongly with another hippo, who tells her several times how much he likes her body. Some additional mild romance.
  • Gloria's rear gets stuck in a doorway, suggestive for some viewers.

Violence & Gore

  • The dreamworks boy gets beaten up by private.
  • Zuba is shot at and falls. We see that the lion was struck by a bullet in the ear (there is a part of the ear missing and a bit of blood is visible).
  • Two lions argue about being in charge and they fight: one pounces on the other and we hear commotion hidden by tall grass, and we then see one twisting the arm of the other until he relents.
  • Alex is struck hard by another lion, and is thrown back against a large stone that cracks in half and lies on the ground for some time (we see the lion with a black eye).
  • A shark falls into a volcano.
  • Nana and Alex fight: they punch each other in the face repeatedly, Nana kicks and punches Alex, then pinches his chest (where nipples would be), Alex spits out a tooth, and Nana spits out her dentures.
  • Nana beats Makunga repeatedly and drags it away by the ear. Earlier, Nana is thrown out of a moving jeep and lands on the road (she's OK); she is then struck by the jeep and thrown (she's OK).

  • Melman nearly falls into a volcano but is grabbed and saved.
  • Alex and Marty are chased by humans who throw spears at them.
  • A lion is caught in a trap and pulled up into a tree by a paw, and we later see the lion tied to a pole and placed over a fire to cook (the lion tries to blow out the fire); another lion frees it.
  • A giraffe talks about "going to the dying holes and we die" when they are sick and we see several giraffe's heads sticking out of the ground (they cough and appear weak and sick).
  • An airplane falls from the sky: the passengers panic (we see them being thrown through the cabin), two animals argue, and the plane crash-lands but all passengers are fine.
  • An airplane is thrown by a huge slingshot into the air, it drops into thick trees but we then see it pull up and fly away although one engine is smoking.
  • Animals panic when they realize that their watering hole is drying up. We see of Nana striking Makunga repeatedly with her purse.
  • Mort clings to the wing of a plane when it takes off and then is swept away (we hear him yell).
  • A lion cub in a crate is thrown from the back of a truck and lands in water where it floats away (we see it rescued later).
  • A lion cub chases a rope that is being pulled through tall grass as a lure; when the cub reaches a fence, it is grabbed at gunpoint by two men, placed in a crate and taken away (the cub cries for help).
  • A lion punches a nest repeatedly, and many birds fly out of the nest surrounding the lion, which runs away.
  • Julien says that Mort is "carrying scissors and hand cream" when trying to board, and he is attacked by many other animals acting as security.
  • A penguin holds a knife in a threatening manner. Several penguins snatch a boy perched on the tip of a crescent moon, steal his fishing pole, catch a fish and talk about eating it.
  • A penguin runs in the middle of a road and pretends to have been struck by a car, by squirting ketchup on his chest and cracking an egg under his head; people rush out of the car and try to revive him by doing mouth to beak resuscitation, but the penguin's abdomen fills with air and he is propelled into the air (he's OK).

  • Nana beats up Alex and beats up Makunga.
  • There is a long and drawn-out scene in which the airplane is falling, and it seems as if it will crash land. At the last second, the penguin flying the plane pulls up on the steering wheel and the plane levels out.
