Adventure Time: Distant Lands - Obsidian

Parents need to know that Adventure Time: Distant Lands - Obsidian is an animated special set in the Adventure Time universe with some characters from that series as well as new ones. This special contains content that's generally suitable for young viewers, though the messages about emotions, self-image, and relationships may fly over these young viewers' heads. They will still enjoy the whimsical story and colorful characters, however. Violence is cartoonish, but may frighten very young or sensitive viewers: a scary dragon has big teeth, is huge, and breathes fire, and at one point, he accidentally smashes and kills an (unnamed) glass creature with his tail. There are also spider-like black demons that scuttle and bare their pointy teeth. A parent is ill and must abandon her child; we see the child growing up lonely and sad. A large wolf threatens a character, and when his soul is sucked out, he looks gray and desiccated and a small wolf whimpers while sitting beside him. When monsters are vanquished, their bodies break apart, and happy flying, singing creatures come out (which communicates a metamorphosis rather than a death). Sexual content is very mild. Two characters have a same-sex relationship and are affectionate to each other. They also share a kiss, but it's more loving than passionate. There's no cursing, but characters are insulted (one is called "Bibliophile!" one is called "Monster trash"), and one character refers to a "butt ton." Marceline and Bubblegum are both heroic and thoughtful, as well as protective to others. Glassboy is a bullied character who triumphs due to his own inner strength. Humility and communication are on display, and are crucial to the success of a hero's quest.
