Threat

There are occasional scenes of mild threat, including characters being chased by a mechanical shark and ghost pirates, and a sequence in which the protagonist faces a giant black rhino formed from clouds, thunder and lightening. However, these sequences are largely brief and focus on the main characters' bravery and resourcefulness rather than fear.

Theme

Rude humour includes jokes about farting and 'gross-out' moments which include a close up shot of a boy flicking a bogey so that it splats onto the camera. Rude comic phrases such as 'cockroach fart', 'bogey brain' and 'snot face' are used throughout.

Threat

Children are threatened by fantastical forces: they flee a vast storm, fall from great height and meet sinister red-eyed villains along their journey. A physical embodiment of evil flies through space and hits the Earth, causing explosions. Two young men, influenced by this evil, bully a homeless man.

There are moments of violence: a girl throws a ball into a bully's face; a girl is caught by the tendrils of a fantastical force and flung around.

Threat and horror

There are sequences in which a young child walks down dark corridors alone at night and hears strange sounds. There are brief 'jump scares' in which sounds scare a child. There is a house fire in which people are in a danger.

Characters display and express racist attitudes towards Indian people and culture; racism is clearly condemned by the film as a whole.

Threat

In one scene, a child is captured and has a dagger held to his throat. In another scene, the evil queen pins a different child to the ground and threatens him with a spear. However, these scenes of threat are not prolonged or intense. Other scary scenes include characters fleeing through underground tunnels, as a pack of the evil queen's wolves search for them, and the human children being caught on rapidly shrinking slabs of ice over a fast moving river.

Violence

There are a number of battle sequences in which armies of fantastical creatures fight one another. Although there is sight and sound of armour and weapons clashing, as well as a suggestion of creatures being stabbed and speared, there is little detail. At the beginning of the film, prior to children's entry to the land of Narnia, there is sight of an aerial dogfight between two World War II fighter planes, as well as a wartime bombing sequence.

discrimination

There are scenes of racism in which Black men are called 'boy' and beaten up for socialising with white people. In one scene, a teenage boy speaks of his experience of racism back in the United States and briefly refers to 'lynchings'. There a brief scene in which both white and Black people are attacked by US soldiers for socialising together. Racism is clearly and quickly condemned and the issue as a whole is treated with sensitivity.

There are emotional scenes when parents have to say goodbye to their children who are being evacuated and also when characters become bereaved.

Violence

A white police officer shoots a black teenager, with bloody aftermath detail as the young man dies in the street.

Violence

There is use of infrequent strong language ('f**k'), as well as milder terms such as 'shit', 'butt', 'ass', 'damn', 'bitch', and 'piss'.
