Sex & Nudity

mild

In a very short scene some houses are seen, each one with a woman by the door, and men leaving and entering. One of the women watches the main character, and he makes to her a gesture to say "Sorry, I haven't got any money". It is implied these women are prostitutes, however it's very implicit and children won't get it.


Violence & Gore

Pack of wolves chase a bunny and kill it (not shown). One wolf carries a white furry object with a bit of red blood to a pup. A dead body slides away when its wooden coffin opens while falling from a cliff. It's not graphic, and it's slightly comical, but may disturb young children (see "Frightening/Intense Scenes"). Numerous scenes of wolves and dogs baring teeth, growling, aggressively-barking, attacking. The dog's action is directed at other dogs, humans, and a bear. Scenes of aggressive humans beating and mistreating dogs. May be disturbing to younger children. A man is eaten alive by a pack of attacking wolves. It happens offscreen at night and we hear him screaming. A man shoots a wolf. No blood is seen. A wolf is seen dying, and a very very little amount of blood emerges from the mouth.
