Sex & Nudity

  • One male character bends forward to kiss a female character, the female character asks what the male character is doing and he says he is stretching.
  • Victor is shown to have a not-entirely-unrequited crush on Felicie, and a bit of a rivalry going with Rudolph in seeking her affections.
  • One of the academy's star pupils Rudolph is broadly implied to be a bit of a lecher, and shown to be interested in Felicie for a bit more than her talent for dancing. He's also implied to have a bit of a reputation with the other girls, as he's shown "resting" his hand on one girl's shoulder in one scene only for her to growl and bark at him like a dog, whereupon he rapidly pulls it back.

Violence & Gore

  • A live chicken is thrown from the top of a tall building
  • A girl's wild dancing on a table bowls over two bar patrons who were sitting at the table, sending them sprawling on the floor and spilling their drinks; then later, she loses her footing while dancing on a balcony rail, breaking her fall by prat-falling onto a table beneath the balcony which promptly collapses beneath her.

Profanity

  • The slur "bitch" can be heard in the song "Confident" by Demi Lovato after a girl says "oh, my god."
  • Some mild crude humor (there's a brief scene shown of what appears to be Victor lighting his farts on fire while men cheer him on and clap).
  • Some mild name-calling ("idiot", "silly", etc.; nothing too severe).

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Victor takes Felicie to a bar at one point, at which several patrons are shown to be imbibing various alcoholic beverages. When she starts doing a rather wild and lively dance, the ad-libbed Leap! version has some random bar patron in the background ask (rather anachronistically) whether anyone checked Felicie's ID at the door, implying he (wrongly, as the audience is shown) suspects that she's had a drink or two to liven up her performance.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Violence & Gore

  • Off-screen, an angry woman is implied to have hit an eleven-year-old boy over the head with a lug wrench, as he comes staggering into the frame and collapses, and is shown to be "seeing double" and having trouble finding his footing when his friend manages to wake him up later.
  • An eleven-year-old boy and girl get chased by a large and rather brutish-looking cross-eyed man after they escape from an orphanage. He chases them down a hill, and they repeatedly get into struggles with him along the way, including during their final escape on a train. The children finally manage to shake him off when he crashes into a tree stump.
  • Felicie is chased by a lady who is seeking revenge for her own daughter. As they both climb up a scaffold, the lady tries to destroy the girl's footholds by smashing them with a hammer. They reach the top of the scaffold and the girl is cornered by the lady.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • A violent scene involving furious woman's assaulting an eleven-year-old boy and girl with first a lug wrench and then a sledge hammer may be a bit too scary for younger children.
  • Felicie's loss to Camille and subsequent "consolation prize" for flunking out can be a rather heart-wrenching and frightening scene to younger children, particularly if they've ever experienced what it's like to "choke" during an important competition.
