The film contains a passing, humorous verbal reference to a 'one night stand' and a fleeting shot of a furniture mover's buttocks during a comedic sequence.

There are occasional scenes of stylized cartoon violence. These include a character falling down stairs, a dog chasing a cat, and a tense sequence where a man threatens a cat with a firearm.

Mild profanity is present, specifically the word 'damn' used on three occasions.

There is a minor, incidental reference to substances, though these are fleeting and not a focus of the film.

The film deals with themes of abandonment, the search for a home, and the greed of a family member wanting to sell a relative's property.

The House of Magic runs 85 minutes, directed by Ben Stassen, Jérémie Degruson, released in 2013.
