Violence & Gore

  • Lots of bloody animated violence.
  • Characters are killed in graphic ways, including burning, shooting, blunt force trauma and blood loss. Lots of disturbing imagery.

Profanity

  • "S***" and "hell" are used. one use of "F**k it."

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Characters use drugs.
  • Birdboy is smoking all the time and also dinky is smoking too.
  • Heavy drug use of all kinds, under aged characters use drugs and smoke, families use antidepressants to stay a happy family. The drug use is NOT glorified or encouraged. The drugs serve as a means to tell the story, and has such is handled maturely in the film. Still very severe.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Even though this movie has cute animated characters it is not meant for children.
  • The whole film has a bleak and dark tone, some scenes are genuinely overwhelming and the older you are the more disturbing the film is. Though this film isn't a suffer flick there is light at the end of the tunnel, and this film does show it.
  • The film contains strong animated violence, sexual references (easy to miss for younger audiences), and heavy drug use. The film is presented as a very mature film covering heavy subject matter. This film is intended for mature audiences, though some kids in their late teens should be able to digest this film.
