threat and horror
There are scenes of mild threat in which the central character and her companion face danger from natural sources, such as stormy seas, as well as fantastical creatures, such as a giant lava monster, tiny piratical coconuts and people-eating plants. Some of these scenes are sustained, and the creatures have scary appearances, but the accent is on the excitement of the adventures, as well as the bravery and resourcefulness displayed by the characters in overcoming the dangers. The threat is also relieved by the comic elements in the story and the characters' behaviour. There is also a scene in which a character talks about his parents not wanting him and being abandoned out at sea, but the audience is aware of his survival and the character receives immediate reassurance and support from a companion.
additional issues
There is very mild bad language which includes uses of 'butt', 'heinie', 'screwed up' and a truncated "son of a ...". There is mild emotional upset when an older character passes away. In the short animation that precedes the feature, a character has comic visions of stepping into a coffin, and there is also very mild rude humour when he is shown going to the toilet just after waking up.
