While there is a lot of duplicity in the movie, the only bit that seems like gaslighting to me is a scene in a junkyard where a puppet character tries to convince an amnesiac that they are looking for their old toys rather than their abducted brother. The relationship between hero and villain is complicated and mildly psychologically abusive. The hero rejects this treatment.

There are many characters who are animal-like and have moments where they are distressed or sad. For example, Ambrosius the dog is shown shaking at some parts. This is usually for comic effect. Ludo who looks like a Minotaur/orangutan does become distressed as sad at various parts of the film. He says ‘Ludo scared’ at one point.

Bit of a complicated answer since the villain is a thousand year old immortal being (played by an actor that was in his forties at the time…and admittedly not helped that he had “baby groupies” in the past) pursuing a teenage girl, but there’s no explicit sexual content in the film itself

(This is a rather graphic description) A puppet takes out his own eyeballs with his fingers, rolls them around and then eats them, only to have them reappear back in their sockets. These characters also swap their heads around and use their limbs as bats for a game. This is all done while singing.

There’s an adult presenting immortal being in love with a teenage girl in-universe ,but the worst the girl experiences is a sequence where she’s in a ball gown dancing with him. Many viewers and critics have observed that the movie is something of a metaphor for Sarah’s adolescent awakening ,but it’s presented in a pretty chaste matter with anything sexual being stuff read between the lines

No obvious deaths of any characters, puppets or real people/animals are seen or implied. There's a battle scene with some puppet goblins, and these weird creature things they ride on, and some of them are knocked around a bit, but it's nothing graphic or violent. It's kid-friendly.
