- Moderate
- There are scenes of torture against a podling and a gelfling by the Skeksis. The Skeksis are scary-looking creatures that seem to be a mix of a dinosaur and a vulture.
- The Garthim are very creepy and menacing over-sized bugs.
- The king of the Skeksis is seen resting, deathly ill. His skin is unpleasant looking including voice. He then dies of natural causes after which his face is shown to crumble and collapse in on itself like rubble.
- Some goodhearted people may feel sorry for the cute little puppets are attacked and then later become the Skeksis' slaves, or the Skeksis take the youth from them and then they get old.
