2024 Oscar Nominated Short Films - Animation

A scene of strong war violence features a bloody shooting and stabbings using bayonets. During a fantastical scene, a fisherman butchers live fish-human hybrid creatures to death using a bladed weapon, with accompanying bloody detail. There is a scene of domestic abuse in which a woman strikes her grandson across the face with an improvised weapon.

A flashback scene depicts armed Nazi officers chasing a Jewish child through a forest, however, the child reassuringly finds refuge. There is also a stylised sequence in which a group of children attack a distressed giant pig. In one film, fish-human hybrid creatures navigate dangerous scenarios in the ocean, including being caught in trawls.

Mild bad language (‘shit’) occurs, as well as very mild bad language (‘screw up’).

There is a passing reference to psychedelic drug misuse.
