Safe for Most KidsReviewed June 2026

This video is safe for most kids but features a messy bug-eating challenge that may gross out sensitive viewers. The content is a fun, behind-the-scenes promotional tie-in to Zootopia 2, where the actor shows how to make the movie's 'honey bug sticks'—ending with a humorous reaction to the taste. It offers a lighthearted look at movie props and acting, but the edible bugs and exaggerated disgust could be off-putting for younger or squeamish children.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents should know this is a short, promotional video for Zootopia 2, not an instructional cooking video. It shows the actor dressing as his character and dipping a stick in honey, then coating it with edible bugs (likely dried crickets or mealworms). The video is clean of any concerning content like violence or language, but the focus on eating bugs and the actor's strong negative reaction ('horrible') might be too intense for very young or sensitive kids. On the positive side, it can spark curiosity about movie making, acting, and trying new foods, and it's a harmless, fun clip for fans of the film.
