Sex & Nudity
-
- When at the Animal Shelter, Sassy is walking across a beam and numerous other animals scream come-ons. They make "cat-calls" like in-mates at a state prison.
- The animals' crotches are sometimes briefly seen in shots, unintentionally and not in a sexual way.
- A dog gnaws on women's underwear and discusses in a voice-over how much fun it is.
Violence & Gore
-
- When Chance sees Sassy on a seesaw, he jumps on the other end--sending her flying (but landing safely on all-fours, unharmed). Later, Chance does the same to a mountain lion.
- Chance fights viciously when the animals see they've been taking to an animal shelter. Shadow is muzzled and dragged back into a cage.
- We see Chance opening his mouth to vomit after eating Bob and Laura's wedding cake. The content is only seen briefly from a short distance.
- Chance gets knocked in the face by a porcupine. He has quills sticking out of his face, not very graphic.
- While at a pound, Chance is taken into a room so the doctors can remove some porcupine quills from his muzzle. Chance makes certain confessions through the scene, such as "I stole underwear on three occasions", then after a quill is removed, "All right, four!" While looking into the room, Shadow tells Sassy that they're killing him. It is put together in a way to show this is not true, but this may still seem intense or scary to young viewers.
- Shadow is gravely injured in a fall behind a coal cart at a railyard, but survives.
- Sassy is swept away in a current, apparently drowned in the river after falling from a waterfall. Chance and Shadow are grief-struck by this, until it turns out that Sassy was rescued by a hermit.
- A dog tells a turkey that he'd like to "chew on his neck a bit".
- The pound is compared to prison in a way that might be confusing and slightly frightening to younger viewers.
- A dog tells its friends that a moose is a "large razor-toothed animal that eats the tails off of smaller animals". This scene takes place at night and is rather eerie.
- A mother bear towers over a dog in a sinister way.
- A puma chases two dogs, but they outsmart it.
- A cat is nearly squashed flat under a moving train, but it squeezes out.
Profanity
-
- 2 uses of "stupid".
- Some mild crude humor, phrases like "cat-calls", "butt-sniffer", "drinking from the toilet", "stare at your butt the whole way", "too pooped to poop", a few dog poop and fart jokes, some innuendo but nothing kids would really pick up on.
- The three animals find some feces (off-screen) on the ground in the woods. Chance remarks, "whoa, that's as big as Sassy!" to which Sassy says, "at least I don't roll in it like some species".
- Animals belch (dubbed by human voice actors?) on multiple occasions.
- "He bit me with his butt" is said during the porcupine scene.
- Shadow says to Chance, "whatever you do, don't lick yourself," regarding Chance's porcupine quills stuck to his lips.
- Fat jokes are made at an overweight shelter worker, EG "chubby", "chubster", "tubbo", "thunderbutt".
- "Dummy" is said.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Glasses and bottles are seen in some scenes (could be a different drink besides booze).
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- There is a somewhat upsetting theme throughout the film about animal abandonment, which may bother younger viewers and animal lovers.
- The three main characters come across a large mountain in the middle of a national park. The scene is quite imposing; the stark landscape atmosphere and the ominous music that plays in the background soundtrack may upset younger viewers.
- When Shadow, Chance and Sassy run away from the farm, Chance gets left behind for a few minutes. A turkey comes out of the barn and scares him. This may be a little scary for some viewers. (This scene is played for laughs somewhat)
- Another scene where Shadow, Chance and Sassy spend there first night in the woods (After they ran away from the farm), that is frightening.
- The shelter scene is quite strange and creepy.
- The three children cope with their new step-father after an apparent divorce (death of their biological father?) and are often disappointed that the father as made them move away from their beloved pets.
- A yellow roadsign features a dog with sharp teeth.
- A child cries in fear after becoming lost in the forest, but Shadow stays with her until her family arrives.

Frightening & Intense Scenes
- At some point, Sassy gets swept down a river and gets lost. May be frightening for some viewers.
- The most frightening moment is when Shadow falls into a hole and injures his leg. It appears for several minutes that Shadow has died, but he ends up alive suddenly.
