What’s in it?

Graphic injury2/5
Why this rating?

Stylized; the amputation is implied/off-screen but the premise of cutting off a body part is dark.

Frightening scenes3/5
Why this rating?

The presence of a hex-casting cat and the surreal, relentless nature of the tail's behavior can be eerie.

Violence4/5
Why this rating?

Features intense slapstick violence, including attempted electrocution, drowning, being run over by a train, and self-amputation.

Highly imaginative animation, choreography, and visual storytelling.

Positive messages2/5
Why this rating?

A dark cautionary tale about vanity and the consequences of mocking others.

Good role models1/5

Lorenzo is initially vain and mean-spirited, though he suffers for his arrogance.
