Otherwise, there's no inappropriate content in the game. But this is all done in a very cartoonish way, and there's no blood or gore. In turn, the chest tosses barrels at the player, or shoots other objects at him, and if the player is caught, he's eaten by the giant chest and then shown looking the worse for wear.

It looks relatively harmless for most of the video, with characters that look a little like the original Mickey Mouse characters. The theme song I watched on video was at 91M views to date.
