When 13 year old Maria Merryweather's father dies, leaving her orphaned and homeless, she is forced to leave her luxurious London life to go and live with Sir Benjamin, an eccentric uncle she didn't know she had, at the mysterious Moonacre Manor.
This movie contains 6 potentially triggering events.
Coer is outwardly cruel to both his children, and often borders on verbally abusive. Benjamin says harmful things occasionally, (to both his fiancée and his neice) but often out of anger, and always genuinely regrets it. Both are forgiven at the close of the movie.
The father of the antagonist family (Tim Curry) could be considered verbally abusive. I think he kind of grabs at them, but no hitting. The uncle the protag goes to live with yells at her for asking questions and is pretty cold to her at first, but no physical abuse. All are forgiven by the end of the movie.
Benjamin isn’t exactly healthy about his alcohol consumption, but it doesn’t ever threaten his or anyone’s life. He’s regularly shown drinking or hungover, especially when he’s grieving.
Bad guys trick the dog into falling in one of those hunting false ground traps, and then they poke sticks/spears near dog to keep him down in the hole. He gets out and is ok after.
Two characters are shown embroidering, (so, sewing needles,) and mid-project are attacked by “bandits”. The protagonist scratches the one who grabs her.
One intense/bright flash of white “moonlight” at the pivotal tone shift at the end of the movie, but (I believe) nothing that could affect photosensitive viewers.
At the close of the movie, one character jumps into the ocean and, while she doesn’t seem to struggle to breathe, she does faint, but makes it back to shore (magic again) unharmed.
One character is scratched across the back of the hand with a sewing needle, and the injury is shown again later. Both times it looks red, but not particularly gore-y.
