Why Is Doogal Rated G?
Usual content concerns are minimal in this animation intended for children. Flatulence sounds from a moose and a later comment from a train (“Oops, I tooted”) round up the only questionable humor. There are some moments of peril when the characters face a group of aggressive skeletons, need to cross a molten lava pond, and are forced to contend with booby traps that shoot arrows, spears, and other weapons. No sexual content or profanities were noted, other than a train stuck in a mine making a pun about “always getting the shaft.”
