Why We Rated This on for Ages 6 and Up

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Most of the female characters are strictly of the sexpot variety. Spook-hunting detective Daffy throws a possessed female client to the floor. Characters are usually quite hostile towards one another.

  • Violence & scariness:

    Cartoonish violence abounds. Characters are shot at, get dropped off cliffs, and are generally abused.

  • Sexy stuff:

    Not an issue.

  • Language:

    Not an issue.

  • Consumerism:

    This is part of the Warner Bro. cartoon juggernaut that includes videost-shirts, backpacks, and dolls, among others.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    In a monster nightclub, some monster patrons smoke.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Bugs Bunny's Halloween Hijinx

Parents need to know that very young or sensitive viewers may be unnerved by scenes in which both Bugs and Tweety are turned into hulking monsters. In another segment, Sylvester and Porky spend a night in a haunted house, with Sylvester in a continual state of extreme terror. A cat is carried to his execution by a group of villainous mice. Grade-school kids will enjoy the visual gags, but there are some elements here that parents may find questionable, such as the gender stereotyping and extreme violence. Preteens appreciate the antics of the beloved characters, but observant viewers may notice the jarring mix of animation styles in "Bugs Bunny's Howl-oween." Teen Looney Tunes fans enjoy seeing the more contemporary shorts, but may balk at the re-editing done with the vintage Warner Brothers classics.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about why Bugs enjoyed being turned back into someone who was hated by so many? Why did he prefer that to pretending to be kind? When is it appropriate to be kind and when do you want to be yourself, even if it hurts others?
