violence
A robot character is knocked into a machine that crushes it and makes its eyes pop out on springs, but it is repaired in a subsequent scene. A dog is falsely accused of killing sheep, and is tricked into posing for a photo that makes him look like he’s threatening a sheep with a cleaver.
threat and horror
The heroes face perilous situations including car chases, falls from heights, kidnappings, and encounters with a menacing robot dog. In one scene, human and animal characters are temporarily trapped on a conveyor belt heading towards a spiky ‘sheep-mincing machine’. The threat is broken up by comedy, however, and is always resolved in a reassuring manner.
