Several depictions of dead fish and sharks but they aren’t gorey. It is a kids animated film so nothing too graphic.

A few times you see fish restrained with what appears to be seaweed. One scene the fish is also tortured by jellyfish.

A quick scene implies cannibalism. It shows a sushi restaurant owned by a fish. It’s in a comedic light and it is a quick flash however.

There's a single scene where the main character is tied and appears to be hanged from his tailfin, but the camera flips and shows that he's in fact tied to the seafloor.

No falling to their actual death, but there is a fake falling to their death scene orchestrated to lie to the town. There is also a part where they dump a sharks body off a trench and it floats up to the surface in a comedic way.

After eating a fish, a vegetarian shark vomits up the fish and a number of inanimate objects, such as a violin, a license plate, and a beach ball. The fish is okay.

One of the characters might be seen as a metaphore for homosexuality. He's exposed by his father.
