Sex & Nudity
None
Badger tells a car salesman that if he takes the cars away then he promises 'not to insert one part of them into any portion of your anatomy'.
A guard flirts with Toad while the latter is in disguise. Toad sprays the man's crotch with boiling water.
Toad dresses up as a woman to escape from prison.
Violence & Gore
Mild
Some gunfire. Though no one is shown to actually be hit in this version of the story, the weasels intend to blow up Toad Hall. Toad is asked to tie a woman up by her niece. As sisnister as it sounds, it's quite comical. Some comic violence such as a policeman hitting Toad on the head and a weasel hitting another weasel through the air. Toad pours hot water down a guard's pants.
Profanity
None
A few mild insults, such as 'Garbage brain'.
Several uses of 'nincompoop', including to police officers and legal professionals.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
None
The weasels get drunk.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
Mild
The weasels are a lot more menacing in this adaptation, particularly when they sing a sinister song to Mole. Some viewers may be scared of them.
