Sex & Nudity

  • Hilda is seen in a bath in one episode, no nudity is shown.
  • The series features no sexuality or nudity whatsoever.
  • A man without pants, wearing underwear, answers the door when some children are ding dong ditching.
  • Hilda is shown in the bath sometimes, but the bubbles are covering her chest, and the rest of her body (except her arms, since she makes hand motions with them)
  • Many girls are seen with clothes that show their (non-emphasized) curves, though it can be hard to notice and won't affect any kid.

Violence & Gore

  • Two of the characters twice fight in one episode thought it is brief
  • There are a few situations where characters are engaged in fights. All those scenes are very mild in tone, bloodless and without any kind of graphic violence.
  • A character cuts off limbs of a living plant. The plant than revives itself on its limbs. No blood is shown
  • In the first episode of Season 1 Hilda is nearly eaten by a troll.
  • In an episode in season 2, many warriors repeatedly get dismembered,shot and stabbed but it is extremely cartoonish and the inside of their bodies looks like coloured light.
  • A character is suddenly sliced in half vertically down the middle using a glowing object. This is extremely sudden and shocking.
  • A character is stabbed directly in the chest by another character, who inserts the blade of a sword into them.
  • A young boy has his head sliced off with a sword. Very sudden and happens entirely on-screen, no blood. This happens in the context of an endless battle between Vikings who are immediately resurrected with magic when they die (including the boy); the tone of the whole battle is comedic.
  • A wolf is thrown from a large cliff and dies after it smashes onto the bottom.
  • Mild Fantasy/Cartoon Violence.

Profanity

  • Cruddlesticks is said by David, not a swear word though.
  • One of David's catchphrases is Flipping.
  • There are some insults: idiot, stupid and the such

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The Black Hound is a very insidious beast as it's threat is subtly built up over most of Season 1. However these hints will most probably go over the heads of younger viewers.
  • Occasional emotional intensity and upset. The series can be extremely poignant and subtly sad when it wants to be.
  • The Marra are the most scary aspect of Season 1, as they have the ability to cause insane nightmares in people. They are also seen to have glowing green eyes and can disappear into a green mist which may frighten some younger viewers.
  • Several instances of racism / prejudice towards fantastic creatures (which in the world of the show exist and regularly interact with humans).
  • Going on par with Adventure time and Over the Garden wall.
  • Rated PG for some peril/violence and some scary scenes.
  • Hilda of frightening and intense scenes can be less darker and tamer than adventure time and over the garden wall.

Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Hilda and her friends meet a variety of supernatural creatures. The majority of them are funny or cute but a few have a more menacing appearance and behaviour (like a ghost who can give people nightmares, an angry troll, a giant black dog, a huge mass of rats), although they don't physically harm the protagonists or any other character.
  • The ending of the last episode of season 2 may unsettle some, as Hilda has been turned into a troll by a magic spell.
  • S1:E9 Two characters have a disagreement over a trivial thing which is pretty emotionally intense.
  • S1:E13: A beast is mentioned to have eaten three people. Towards the end of the episode the same beast vomits the people out. Played for laughs and no gore.
  • A battle started between a group of people in S2E4. The aftermath is depictions of characters with cut off arms and legs. There is no gore in the image. Those characters are then later revived
  • One of the main characters, a child named David, is decapitated twice in season 2 (no blood) in the context of a magic battle where the fighters are constantly resurrected by magic. He is revived, but it is out of nowhere.
  • Season 2 could be darker and more emotional than season 1.
  • Season 3 includes instances of child abduction by supernatural forces and may be too intense for younger kids.
  • S3:E6: a monster (a giant spider/toad) chases Hilda and her mother through the wilderness. Unlike in most of the series this is played as a genuinely scary and distressing situation and there is also a very small amount of blood (Hilda's mother has small scratches on her face and hands). At the end of the episode they are both swallowed by the monster but the creature immediately spits them out, commenting they taste bad, and leaves.
