The movie intends to entertain rather than educate.

The two major storylines make the point that being "number two" doesn't mean you're a failure unless you yourself believe that, that it's always OK to need help, and that you shouldn't let your pride get in the way of helping others. But the depiction of the Italian mob boss-like giant and the Eddie Murphy-imitating ogre might disturb some audience members. While not overtly racist, they could be off-putting to some viewers.

Red learns that she needs to ask for help and doesn't have to do everything on her own; Granny convinces Verushka that it's never too late to redeem yourself; and the Wolf discovers that he misses Red and that they complement each other as work partners. Some characters are stereotyped.

Animated violence, trickery, and deceit includes martial arts-style confrontations, two overgrown characters that wreak havoc on a city (turning over vehicles, demolishing buildings), a giant that pounds and squashes things (as well as a character or two), and a group of pig thugs that uses weapons to try to eliminate their targets (via explosions, guns, car chases). Some characters are injured, but except for one villain who plunges to his (presumed) death, no one really seems to die. It's all intended to be very cartoonish and humorous.

Two female squirrel visitors come out of Squirrely's mobile home to kiss him good-bye.

One "damn," plus insults including "shut up," "doodie," "stupid," "little girl," "loser," and more. The word "muffins" is used as a stand-in for curse words.
