Threat and horror

There are action scenes in which the heroes find themselves in threatening and dangerous situations. These include being caught up in a burning building, chased by a pixie biker gang, attempting to cross a wide chasm, dodging booby traps in a cave and battling a dragon creature. There is also occasional threat from weapons wielded by unsympathetic characters, such as a bottle and bike chains, but no undue emphasis is placed on them.

Language

There is very mild bad language such as 'screw up', 'screwed up', 'dang it', 'son of a...' and 'what the...'.

The film's story involves the young heroes coming to terms with the death of their father. The issue of death and bereavement is handled sensitively and in a reassuring manner.

Nudity

A man's naked buttocks are briefly when he changes outfits.

There is brief sight of blood on a woman's face after her nose bleeds.

Language

There is infrequent mild bad language ('crap'), as well as milder terms, such as 'God' and 'butt'.

Threat

There are scenes of mild fantasy threat, in which characters find themselves in another realm that controls life and death. The main protagonist dies, but this is comically presented, without any detail of injury, and he is immediately transformed into a colourful blob-like state. Other scenes contain darker blob-like beings, which initially appear threatening, but do not bring about any harm. There is also a scene in which a character is surrounded by looming figures who make belittling comments but the emphasis is on the resourcefulness of the protagonist to help rescue them both.

There is very mild rude humour, including a scene in which a man's face comes very close to a cat's behind.

Villains chase the puppet through a night-time landscape and, it is implied, hang him from a tree, where we see him dangling, unhurt. Two characters are frightened by their sudden transformation into donkeys. Villains drown a donkey by attaching it to a rock and throwing it into the sea, where it is reincarnated as Pinocchio. Pinocchio, swimming in the sea, is pursued by a whale and swallowed.

A teacher hits his pupils' hands with a ruler. In a comic scene, the puppet throws a hammer at a friend.

There are upsetting scenes when villains are cruel to a donkey.

There is infrequent strong language ('f**k'), accompanied by milder terms, such as 'whore', 'bastard', 'bollocks', 'balls', 'piss', 'ass', 'asshole', 'bullshit', 'shit', 'hell', 'Jesus', 'God' and 'damn'.
Sex references include a man admitting to "diddling all the ladies", which is accompanied by a rude hand gesture.

It is implied, off-screen, that a man takes his own life. This scene is accompanied by other undetailed references to suicide.

There is partial breast nudity as a woman, donning sparkly nipple tassels, sits in an office full of men. There are also references to alcohol addiction, including sequences in which a man is inebriated after bouts of heavy drinking.

There is infrequent strong language ('f**k'), as well as milder terms including 'bitch', 'bullshit', 'bloody' and 'piss'.

There are frequent tense sequences in which people are in dangerous situations, come under fire, or attempt to evade bombs. In one scene terrorists take over an auditorium and there is brief distress among the audience. There is also a scene in which an abusive husband holds his wife at gunpoint, and threatens to beat her with his belt.

Scenes include gunfights, fistfights, stabbings, use of improvised weapons, and explosions. In an interrogation scene it is implied a man's teeth are pulled out, but bloody detail is minimal. Another man is beaten to death, but the scene does not feature strong detail. A man verbally threatens another man with castration. A husband is abusive towards his wife, threatening her and later shooting her. In one scene she aims a gun at him, but he disarms and punches her. His behaviour is implicitly criticised throughout.

Discreet references are made to suicide and discriminatory behaviour. There are also mild sex references.

Violence

There are frequent scenes of battle violence. The battle scenes are prolonged and intense and include sight of people fighting with swords and bows and arrows, as well as hand-to-hand combat. Dead bodies are shown lying on the ground in the aftermath of battles. There is occasional sight of blood and injury in the aftermath of violence.

There are infrequent mild sex references and innuendo. There is gender discrimination directed towards the main character, but she challenges and overturns such attitudes which are clearly not condoned by the film as a whole.
