Sex & Nudity

Some flies yell at a ladybug suggestively, who is actually male.

Violence & Gore

A grasshopper hits Flik several times, knocking him to the ground, and he is seen very bruised and beaten. Hopper then smacks Flik and prepares to stomp on him.

After a rainstorm interrupts that, Hopper grabs Flik by the neck and starts to strangle him for fooling him with a fake bird, but a real bird comes along, grabs Hopper and feeds him to its babies.

Profanity

None.

In a bar that flick enters, it is suggested the customers (who are bugs) are drinking alcoholic beverages, but It seems more as if they are drinking "Bug" drinks. A Bug at the bar orders a "Bloody mary, O positive" he slurps it fast, and acts like he is drunk and passes out.

The menacing appearance of Hopper and other grasshoppers, along with their meanspirited disposition and treatment of the ants, may be scary or unsettling to younger kids.

The bird chases may be intense for small children.
