violence
During a fantastical duel, one person attacks another with a throwing axe, a flail and a trebuchet, but his opponent summons magic objects to deflect the blows. A person with magic powers zaps another with purple electricity. A dragon breathes fire at a man, who deflects the flames using a shield. There is also a brief sequence of mild real-world violence in which a boy elbows a bully in self-defence, leaving the bully's nose slightly bloodied. Other scenes feature very mild slapstick violence.
threat and horror
After developing magic powers, a comic villain attacks the heroes with fantastical weapons and bolts of purple electricity, and splits the ground to make lava appear. Scenes of very mild fantasy threat are broken up by comedy, however, and are always quickly and reassuringly resolved.
language
Bad language includes ‘oh my God’, ‘shoot’, ‘moron’ and ‘butt’.
sex
At a book reading, an author reads out a lovingly detailed description of his male hero’s glistening abs, pecs and nipples. Referring to a pair of crayons, a man brags, ‘Mine’s bigger!’. Another character looks jealous when a man innocently mentions having ‘stayed the night’ with a woman.
discrimination
A police officer repeatedly advises his partner to ‘humour the crazies’.
rude humour
A character briefly mixes up the words ‘complicated’ and ‘constipated’. A dragon burps, and a cartoon porcupine spikes a cartoon moose on the behind. During a prank call a boy puts on an ‘old man’ voice and announces that he ‘pooped his pants’.
injury detail
We see a small amount of blood under a boy’s nose following a scuffle. After an accident, a person holds up his finger to reveal a tiny spot of blood.
theme
There are brief references to a young boy’s father having passed away. The subject of bereavement is handled discreetly and sensitively.
flashing/flickering lights
This work contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.
