Two by Two: Overboard!

Lots of slapstick and some threat, including moments that might worry younger viewers. A character dies and the camera lingers on their corpse before another character revives them. Two characters fall overboard and are pounded by waves in a turbulent sea. A volcano eruption destroys an entire island and the residents panic. A dove is struck by lightning, chased by a shark, and burned. Characters are bound together and made to walk the plank. Characters are chased by scary looking creatures with huge sharp teeth, later revealed to be masks.

"Butt" said six times. One instance of "stupid." Rude humor including fart jokes.

Character drinks a mocktail.

Parents need to know that Two By Two: Overboard! is the sequel to 2015's All Creatures Big and Small and contains some slapstick violence and moments of peril. Though it's never directly referenced, the narrative is loosely based around the Noah's Ark story. The movie has some positive messages, such as the precarious truce between the carnivores and herbivores on the ark and the fictitious Nestrians species accepting outsiders. Lead characters Finny (voiced by Max Carolan) and Leah (Ava Connolly) are mischievous but kind. A character defies their orders for ethical reasons. The word "butt" is regularly used and there is some rude humor, including the Nestrians expelling blue gas when scared. Younger viewers might find some scenes too intense, including an underwater chase, characters being pummeled by waves when falling overboard, and a volcano eruption that destroys an entire settlement. The animals also suffer a shortage of food. There is also an upsetting scene in which a character dies and the camera lingers on their corpse. They are revived but the scene is part of a long sequence of panic and distress.
