As one commenter said about "Incredibles 2", in the original there is also mild, cartoony violence involving child super-heroes, but definitely no domestic abuse.

A cat is stuck in a tree at the beginning of the movie and makes sounds indicative of fear/stress, but he survives and is okay.

While technically there is not a hanging of an established character, but during the newspaper-style flash forward scene, there is a doll of a superhero being hung from the neck by a chain over some flames, which can be triggering.

Almost in the background, an ancillary character is saved from jumping off a building and later shown in casts. Injury isn't shown, we're just made aware that it happened.

In the cape sequence there are a few comedic circumstances that fit the definition.
There's also a dramatic fall scene where everyone survives.

Mild spoilers There’s a pause and read moment in which it’s heavily implied that one of the many superheroes that was killed by Syndrome was a guy in a domestic partnership with another man and even had adopted children with this partner.
But like I said you actually have to seek this out and the average viewer will miss this
