This movie contains 2 potentially triggering events.
The father is extremely controlling, and can be interpreted as mentally/emotionally abusive. He realizes he was in the wrong and changes in the end though.
The father could be interpreted as mentally/emotionally abusive, and his family puts up with it (despite complaining) throughout the film. He does change in the end though.
Grug could be interpreted as such. he is initially overprotective of his family - he actively encourages them to be in fear of the outside world, discourages Eep from leaving the nest, and tries to keep her from being with Guy, but his attitude improves by the end of the movie and he forms a stronger bond with his family. some of the overprotective-ness is justified in that several of the family's friends were killed before the events of the movie, and Grug is trying to make sure the same doesn't happen to them.
