The following is a parental guide displaying a list of material in Ben and Holly: The Theory Animated that may not be suitable for younger viewers.

## Sex and Nudity

**Season 1-3**

None

**Season 4-present**

A female fairy has J-cup breasts. Her cleavage is seen a few times and are often bouncing

A few *Ben and Holly* characters are seen shirtless

Queen Thistle runs down her finger into her husband's bare abdomen

A male elf's midriff is shown due to his shirt that bares his naval and abdomen.

Mr Elf's shirtless scenes may cause women watching to hoot and whistle softly, a la Tex Avery's Red Hot Riding Hood, except that the genders are switched.

Oli said to his friends that his prostate gland is permanently damaged due to a massacre

King Marigold cuts a dead fairy's genitals open and removes one of the testicle. Very graphic and his genitals are seen briefly but rarely

Season 5 is the most sexually explicit, women are seen topless, sexual content.

Wise Old Elf and Nanny Plum are seen nude on a bed. Nanny Plum's breasts are seen and Wise Old Elf's gentals are seen. We cut to Ben hearing noise from the room, which indicates that they are having sex

Mr Gnome's magazine collection includes Playfairy magazines, which are targeted at adult male fairies and elves. When reading them, we can see images of nude female fairies and elves in the magazines.

Female fairies and elves are seen goosestepping in dresses, their panties can be seen slightly

An elf takes his shirt off, revealing tattoos.

Three elves, two male fairies, and one female fairy, are stripped naked for examination. The men's genitals are seen and the woman's breasts and genitals are seen

Characters from *Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom* are seen nude

Mr Elf is forced stripped by Fairy Mayor. His testicles and penis are seen.

There is a lot of frontal nudity. Mrs Elf is humiliated by an unnamed male elf by tearing off her clothing. It is implied she was sexually assaulted, as her nude body is seen soon after.

The same male elf, is burned in a napalm attack. His clothes burn off, his testicles and penis are seen

Mrs Elf often walks around the Great Elf Tree naked. Her breasts and genitals are shown.

There are sex scenes.

There is a Russian elf man seen inside a bulletproof glass chamber, nude. His penis and testicles are seen. He is also tortured shirtless.

Wise Old Elf has his shirt ripped off, but nothing is considered "sexy" about it.

King Thistle and Queen Thistle are seen engaging in sex acts. He grabs her breasts and kisses her. King Thistle's penis and testicles are seen and Queen Thistle's breasts and vulva are seen.

There are some scenes where female fairies and elves accidentally come into the male fairy and elf showers. Male genitals are seen briefly. A female fairy or elf even comments "seeing their balls" was not on her agenda. These are mostly played for comedy.

 Wise Old Elf occasionally crossdresses but is easily foiled due to a glimpse of his genitals. This is played for comedy and not in a sexual manner.

Mr and Mrs Elf are occasionally seen having sex. Mrs Elf’s breasts and vulva are visible aswell as Mr Elf's penis and testicles. These scenes are typically in 18+ episodes only and are offscreen in the Nick Mommy airings.

## Content Ratings

Season 1-3: Rated G. It is meant to be suitable for all ages. The first three only air on Nick Jr..

Season 4-present: Rated TV-14 for strong language, references to sex and drugs, intense bloody violence, some episodes are rated TV-MA for intense brutal graphic bloody violence, sexual themes, strong sex and explicit language. As a result, the series began airing on Nick Mommy instead. However, this stirred up lots of controversy.
