One mild innuendo: a sleeping man murmurs 'Mary, not with the kids around' when an anteater licks his face.

- Sexualised imageryNone
PG family film; no source describes revealing outfits or lingering shots.

No on-screen kissing; only jokes about Mrs. Brown finding Hunter handsome and a mistaken lick-for-kiss gag.

Language & behaviour
- ProfanityMild
No swear words; only mild exclamations like 'What in God's name?' and 'Thank God.'
Sources: imdb.com, movieguide.org
- Vulgarity & crude humourMild
Rated PG for mild rude humor; only a minor gag with a cork popping and liquid spraying.
Sources: imdb.com, commonsensemedia.org

Comical peril such as a boat capsizing and dynamite in flashbacks; nothing presented as a stunt to copy.
Sources: commonsensemedia.org, pluggedin.com

Slapstick peril: gunpoint, chases, slaps, an umbrella as a weapon; ancestors' deaths are played comically.
Sources: commonsensemedia.org, pluggedin.com, raisingchildren.net.au

Ancestral ghosts urge killing and eating Paddington, a plane crash, a sudden big spider, and a scary river peril.

Nothing reported; the only hitting is a hallucination where a man hits himself, not self-harm.
