This movie contains 51 potentially triggering events.
At one point, a goat is transformed into a human. Humorously, Billy" still acts like a goat, including making noises. He is killed when the unicorn swoops in to save Yvaine and Tristan from Lamia; we see the unicorn charge into him, and his stiff body falling to the ground, having transformed back into a goat. It's also heavily implied that the unicorn was burned alive in the same scene; Lamia shoots green flames in its direction, but we don't get to see its final fate.
Not exactly abusive. But tradition is for the male heirs to the throne to murder each other until only one remains, and their father, the king, encourages this and even aids in one of the murders.
An animal is killed by witches for divination just off screen, a goat is killed on screen, and we don’t see the unicorn again after being blasted by a witch.
A character is controlled by a small doll, and his arm and legs break, and after he dies he is puppeted around which is scary because he moves in unsettling ways.
One of the witches uses a doll to control a character (not a good guy) and break his arm and leg and eventually kill him. No blood is shown but you do hear the sounds.
No, but the star is lead to believe the boy had a one night stand with her and ran off with another woman, because someone gives her a faulty message he didn't remember properly.
There is a subplot involving a character who keeps that part of his life hidden from his friends and coworkers for fear of rejection. They find out near the end, and are more accepting than he had feared.
Septimus jumps off a ship into a lake, and there's an underwater shot of him landing in the water.
Later, during the final confrontation with the witches, Lamia reaches into a pool of water and there's shot from under the water looking up at her.
Captain Shakespeare is closeted gay and it’s played for laughs. There’s a long scene of him dancing in front of the mirror in woman’s clothes. When everyone finds out they’re all quite sweet about it though
as mentioned, there's a joke about a man having been turned into a beautiful girl but still having a very deep voice. there is a pirate captain who dresses in drag, which is played as a funny but harmless quirk. he is treated very sympathetically and when he comes out his crew supports him
A male character is magically transformed into a female, and it's used as a gag that a woman has a deep voice and a masculine name, which might come off as a bit problematic for trans people.
Several bath scenes, and one character died in a bath and so he's shown naked for the rest of the movie. They never show his genitals, he's always covered by the way the screen cuts, or a hand, and at the end he even is wearing just one piece of cloth.
In the beginning of the movie, it is implied that Dunstan and Una have sex (not shown on screen). It's also implied that Yveine and Tristran have sex (also not shown on screen).
