There’s a scene where the dog is thrown out the window and it upset my son that the dog was gone. The dog is also taken by the neighbor, again upsetting him that their dog is gone. The dog was unharmed throughout the movie but the actions upset him.

Not really a toy (but toys do go up the tornado) but the house is destroyed and this upset my child. It’s all fixed in the end and he was happy but when it happened he was very upset.

the cat coughs up a hairball while introducing himself near the start of the film. he is sick into a bag in the S.L.O.W car while the boy is driving. he is pictured leaning into a ‘barf bag’ after travelling on mrs kwan. none of these in my opinion as an emetophobe myself were too graphic.

Mrs. Kwan is the only real person of color (east asian) and watches taiwanese parliament brawls and has an accent. She is portrayed as irresponsible. (falls asleep when meant to be taking care of children) There are a couple karate jokes and dubbing of nonsense "east asian" language over the tv. There is also a portion where the cat dresses up as a "vegan environmentalist" and wears locs. (I interpret this as making fun of how white people try to emulate rastafarian culture, which is still unfunny and uncomfortable since it is still a white person doing it.)
