In this silent supernatural winter epic, a drunken applejack salesman must go from zero to hero and become North America’s greatest fur trapper by defeating hundreds of beavers.
This movie contains 50 potentially triggering events.
Hundreds of beavers die, along with multiple wolves, rabbits, raccoons, fish, dogs, a horse, and at least one maggot. However, all the animals are obviously fake puppets or humans in costumes.
No dog fighting, but dogs are hunted and killed off screen by wolves (all of which are humans in animal costumes). In the opening song, there's also a 2D shot of cock fighting shown in silhouettes.
At the (approximately) 1:08:00 mark, there is a beaver that is caught in a spinning trap, causing kind of a cyclone(?), drawing the hunter and another beaver toward a tree limb. The hunter is then able to save them with a rope. The cyclone stops and the hunter and beaver survive. It then starts back in the other direction and the same rope that saved them is then wrapped around the beaver’s neck.
There's a repeating gag that the main character will chisel wood with his teeth, resulting in a cartoonish gap filled smile. The teeth magically reappear each time. The overall context is silly, and not intended to trigger anyone. Although one instance after this, you see the character spit out a comical amount of blood, which may be disturbing for some.
All gore in this film is plush. There are trails of blood shown, but whenever an animal (which are all humans in mascot suits) is injured or dismembered, their insides are plastic skeletons, gut-shaped plushies, and packing peanuts.
Hundreds of beavers, who are played by actors in mascot costumes and who are shown to be smart enough to develop a space exploration program, are killed.
Maybe two mild ones. One when Jean is looking at his map and removes his thumb to reveal the symbol of a wolf with a sudden roar. Another when they're at the camp at night and the wolf's eyes appear, also accompanied by a roar.
The main character spits up blood twice after chewing on wood, and then later in the movie while he’s in the beaver fortress, he spins around on the gears and vomits down from above the frame. None of them are very graphic or realistic.
Animals depicted with puppets or mascot costumes are eaten, including beavers, fish, a maggot, and a lot of rabbits. Some of the rabbits are eaten offscreen by raccoons, with only the feet of the mascot suit remaining.
missymay said it best. the knife that the protagonist stabs himself with is smaller than a fingernail, and he does it to take his clothes off. He also bites his fingers to make himself bleed, so as to attract fish.
There are two comedic scenes where the main character seemingly attempts suicide but survives. In one, he points a finger gun to his mouth and pulls the "trigger." In the other, he cuts into the shirt he's wearing in a move that looks like a samurai's ritual stabbing-and-disembowling suicide.
Some flashing lights during the scene where the camp of Jean Kayak and the master fur trapper gets attacked by wolves at night-time. More significant flashing lights during the scene where the beavers catch Jean Kayak and try to chop him up after he infiltrates their dam.
To give my two cents as an Indigenous person: while the "Indian" fur trapper was a bit stereotypical, he's nothing but helpful and friendly throughout. The usage of Indian is also clearly meant to be time-period appropriate. So while I could see how he'd make someone uncomfortable, personally I think he was portrayed fine.
All gore is either blood splatters on snow, or a mix of plastic skeletons, packing peanuts, and gut-shaped plushies. There is QUITE a lot of the latter, but it is all, I must emphasize, plastic halloween skeletons, stuffed animals in the shape of organs, and packing peanuts.
