Sex & Nudity

None
3 of 3 found this to have none
Princess Glory wears a strapless dress, which leaves her shoulders bare. Despite her dress also being vulnerable to cleavage, the animators chose not to draw this.

Violence & Gore

Mild
4 of 5 found this mild
King Bombo has a somewhat aggressive personality, and often hits others in a good natured way. He does however violently beat up two of King Little's guards when they accidentally grab him instead of Gabby. The violence is not shown, but the two guards are shown dazed in a comical way afterwards, although the tone is quite serious at this point. This act inadvertently confirms that Blefescu is at war with Lilliput, as King Bombo was about to have a change of heart towards King Little prior to this misunderstanding.
Gabby and Snitch have a fist-fight near the end, which is more comical than violent.
The Blefuscudian fleet shoot many arrows at Gulliver, a lot of which go into his clothed arm. He shows no signs of pain however, and simply brushes them off while remaining assertive.
King Bombo's fleet attacks Lilliput, catapulting boulders and stones into the town, damaging buildings and sending the townsfolk into a panic. Bombo is shown laughing and enjoying the destruction.
King Bombo orders his spies to kill Gulliver after he thwarts his initial attack on Lilliput. When they steal Gulliver's pistol, they confirm to Bombo that he will be killed - which prompts Bombo to launch another attack.
When the Blefuscudian fleet advances on Lilliput in the climax, Gulliver has a peaceful solution in mind, but the Lilliputians cheer him on to attack the fleet. Gulliver orders Blefescu to surrender, but when he is ignored he ties the ships together and draws them to shore (rescuing many men who jumped overboard in fear of him in the process)

Profanity

None
4 of 4 found this to have none
When King Bombo gets mad, he sometimes curses and shouts in an unintelligible way - this may be interpreted as a cover for bad language.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Mild
4 of 5 found this mild
One of Gulliver's giant personal possessions the Lilliputians find when going through his belongings is a pipe. Gulliver is seen smoking it on the beach in a nighttime scene when he is dreaming of home.
At a feast given in Gulliver's honor, Gulliver and the Lilliputians are seen drinking from goblets, and jugs traditionally used for dispensing alcohol also sit on the table. Though it is not made clear what is in them, it can be assumed to be alcohol by way of tradition for royal feasts.
