It's made clear that Quartermaine is only interested in Lady Tottington for her money and the idea of her being a 'prize'. He disregards her opinions and gets somewhat violent with her during the climax. While it's still presented in a child-friendly way, worth considering.

Gromit is sort of like a son to Wallace, who raised him, and he is usually the butt of the slapstick humor or not taken seriously when trying to communicate

While no on-screen animal death occurs, the plot starts out with Wallace and Gromit running a humane no-kill pest control service, specifically trying to deal with the rabbit population before a big vegetable festival. Their rival, Victor Quartermaine, wants to use more lethal methods via hunting. When the Were-Rabbit strikes, people heavily discuss killing it. Later in the movie, we see visuals celebrating the apparent 'death' of the were-rabbit, such as a shooting gallery themed around rabbit targets. So it's a theme, but it's pretty mild. The worst it gets on-screen are gags that allude to animal violence but turn out to be something else.

Jokingly referenced in the form of wordplay. The climax features two sentient dogs, Gromit and Phillip, stealing two plane vehicles from a kiddie ride and chasing each other with them. At one point, one gets onto the other's vehicle and they start wrestling in a human-like way. Appropriately, the ride they stole the planes from is called 'Dog Fight,' which is a pun based on the term for plane-to-plane fighting. Nothing about this sequence evokes the crime of dog fighting itself.

Gromit is a dog who largely acts in a human-like way, and while he never speaks the animators put a lot of effort into conveying his emotions through body language and facial expressions. He does get put through some emotional scenes, like his being unable to help Wallace due to being trapped.

While Wallace and Gromit's pest control service is humane, Victor Quartermaine wants to hunt the rabbits despite Lady Tottington's wishes. We don't see any on-screen animal death, and the worst it gets is visuals alluding to hunting or hurting rabbits but are not graphic, some of which are bait-and-switches. Rabbits are, however, exposed to experimental mind-altering tech to prevent them from eating vegetables, with it malfunctioning and one particular rabbit becoming frightened, later becoming a human-rabbit creature (he is not visibly distressed by the transformation once it's fully revealed in the third act). The Were-Rabbit himself is ultimately revealed to be a transformed human, and despite his only eating vegetables, he is still hunted. This is portrayed as a humorous homage to Hammer Horror and werewolf tropes in general. The Were-Rabbit survives to the end, though there is a fakeout during the penultimate scene.

A female character gets grabbed by the Were-Rabbit and carried up a building as a homage to King Kong. Shortly after, the same character is humorously restrained by the villain pinning her down through the hair with a pitchfork ("Hmmmm... I rather like your hair pinned back."). An earlier scene shows Wallace being prevented from leaving by a character lodging an ax near him, which catches him by the clothes in a cartoony way. This scene also shows Gromit trying to leave the van to help him, but a different character actively pushes the door closed. Gromit also gets briefly locked inside a cage before the climax.

Yes, but it's pretty mild and kid-friendly. We get two on-screen Were-Rabbit transformations, and they're more on the cartoony side than anything gory. They still have horror cinematography, though, so it might frighten children or more easily spooked viewers.

No, however, parallels are drawn between vegetables and children. Various vegetables are eaten by the Were-Rabbit. Mrs. Munch refers to her giant pumpkin as “my baby” and even puts it in a stroller at one point. When Gromit goes into Wallace’s room upon it being implied Wallace could be the Were-Rabbit, Gromit finds various half-eaten vegetables on Wallace’s bed. When trying to distract the Were-Rabbit, Gromit accidentally squashed a giant zucchini. The zucchini’s innards get all over Gromit’s hands and other areas of his body. He starts to get a sad look on his face until moving on and continuing to stop the Were-Rabbit

Rabbit plushie prizes at a game booth get destroyed, but no kids react to it. While not the same, as it does not involve children or toys, a subplot is Gromit raising a giant marrow for the vegetable festival. The third act had Gromit reluctantly use it as bait for the Were-Rabbit, where it ultimately gets squashed. There's a brief moment where he looks at the plant innards splattered on his hands in sadness.

There is a machine that goes on one's head in which electricity is used to make it work but there's also shocking going on. Is not traditional electro-therapy and isn't presented as serious.

There's a visual gag early into the movie where Wallace has gained enough weight so that he cannot fit through a trap door. Gromit presses another button to release a mallet that pushes Wallace through the hole in a slapstick way. Shortly after, it's revealed Gromit put Wallace on a vegetable-heavy diet to encourage him to lose weight, which is a plot point throughout the movie.

Not 'man in a dress', but there is a gag late into the movie where it's revealed Phillip, Quartermaine's mean and scary-looking dog, owns a flowery coin purse. While it's not the main focus of the scene's humor, Gromit gives him a look that makes Phillip embarrassed when he notices.

A fair amount of sexual innuendo, but it's mostly the sort of thing where a kid wouldn't understand a joke their parents would. It's tame.

Yes, but it's more cartoony kid-friendly stuff. Quartermaine gets hung from a weathervane by his pants, exposing his bare rear ("Beware the moon!"). Wallace spends part of the ending nude, but nothing below the waist is shown. He covers his shame with a box humorously labeled "may contain nuts."

Uh, sorta, but not really. The Were-Rabbit shows romantic interest in a human woman during the climax. However, by this point, he is revealed to be a transformed human, which makes it not bestiality, at least not in the traditional sense. He does, however, express attraction toward a female rabbit costume.
