Can I watch The Lion King without the swearing?
Family Filter TV mutes matching language automatically while a title plays through a supported route such as Stremio, on Android TV and Android phones. The picture keeps playing and only the sound briefly drops. You choose a mild, family or strict filter. With the family filter on, none of the 1,175 subtitle lines in The Lion King would be muted; with the strict filter, 1 would be. Filtering availability varies by title, and the app tells you when it is unavailable.
Why might another site give a different swear word count for The Lion King?
Our count comes from automated analysis of the English subtitles, and we count every time a flagged word appears. A word that is bleeped, mumbled or not written in the subtitles is not counted, a different subtitle release of the film can give a different number, and every site decides for itself what counts as a swear word.
How we counted
The count comes from automated analysis of the film's English subtitles, not from a person listening to the film. Every time a flagged word appears it is counted, and each one is placed in a category. Other guides can give a different number for the same film: a word that is bleeped or not written in the subtitles cannot be counted, different subtitle releases of a film differ, and each site decides for itself what counts as a swear word.
What Family Filter TV can filter
- Profanity, matched against your chosen filter profile (mild, family or strict).
- Subtitle-driven mute events — the sound briefly drops on a matching line and returns right after.
How filtering works
Open the title through a supported playback route such as Stremio. Family Filter TV analyses subtitle cues against your household filter settings and automatically mutes matching dialogue during playback. The picture keeps playing — only the sound briefly drops.
