Why We Rated This on for Ages 5 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    The main character embodies a deplorable combination of greed, meanness, and commercialism, but he gets his comeuppance. One character speaks in an exaggerated Mexican accent, which some may find offensive. A sweet father-daughter relationship is depicted, and love and family are emphasized as the true meanings of Christmas.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence & scariness:

    The over-the-top cartoon violence hardly lets up, but no one is ever hurt for long. The main character subjects his employees to physical abuse and is himself shot, electrocuted, slapped, de-beaked, and beaten down by a candy-cane wielding granny, to name just a few incidents.

  • Sexy stuff:

    A skunk and a cat flirt and kiss under the mistletoe.

  • Language:

    Not an issue.

  • Consumerism:

    The idea of holiday commercialism is presented negatively. The characters work at the Lucky Duck Superstore, which is open almost 'round the clock to compel shoppers to spend, spend, spend for Christmas.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Bah, Humduck! A Looney Tunes Christmas

Parents need to know that this movie is an updated Christmas Carol story for the younger set. It's full of exaggerated cartoon violence, but in the end it presents a positive message about the true meaning of Christmas. Commercialism, greed, and selfishness are all presented in a negative light. A child in an orphanage waiting for adoption is rejected and has to spend the holiday alone; other characters decide that Scrooge hates Christmas because he doesn't have a family.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about how commercialism affects their own holiday celebrations, and what steps they might take to celebrate more simply. Are there things we can do for Christmas to make it more meaningful without spending more money? How is Daffy greedy? How does he learn his lesson from his past? Present? Future? Kids can also discuss ways to reach out to people who may be alone during the holidays.
