There is no sexual content or nudity present in this season. The show maintains its focus on platonic friendship and comedic situations suitable for a preschool and young elementary audience.

Violence and gore in Timon and Pumbaa
Violence is exclusively cartoon slapstick. Characters may fall, get bumped, or experience comical chases. There are no graphic depictions of harm, and injuries are always temporary and played for laughs, such as Timon being caught in traps or Pumbaa being chased.
