violence
Moderate fantasy violence includes a robot slicing off a monster's limb and a woman whipping fantastical creatures. A brief bullet hole appears in man's head as another man shoots him.
threat and horror
In scenes of prolonged moderate horror a boy is pursued by scary looking creatures including a woman with a snake-like neck, and a faceless girl. There are also scenes of threat in which fantastical creatures, including children, are held prisoner by other evil characters. Prisoners are thrown in to a pit of lava and, in some cases, shown drowning.
injury detail
There's some focus on blood after a fantastical creature is whipped. A sword is shown dripping with blood after a man stabs a woman with a sword. During a sword fight, a boy is shown with blood pouring from his lip.
additional issues
There's brief focus on a boy touching an older princess's thigh after she rescues him. A creature is shown smoking a cigarette. A boy cries as his creature friend dies. There's rude humour in which a fantastical creature pees on an attacking robot.
