We are supposed to cheer on the young Anthony who falls for Johanna while she’s staring out her window, but his “love song” is like a stalking anthem:

"I'll steal you, Johanna, I'll steal you.
Do they think that walls can hide you?
Even now I'm at your window.
I am in the dark beside you,
Buried sweetly in your yellow hair.
I feel you, Johanna
And one day, I'll steal you." 😳

A boy (toby) who grew up in a work house and was taken on my singor Pirelli abuses him quite often with mentions of Lashings and we even see the boy get kicked off a stage and get his hands cut open by a Sharpe blade

Mrs. Lovett lies to Sweeney, allowing him to think his wife killed herself even though she knows Lucy is still alive. Does that count?

Mrs. Lovett talks, or sings, about how a fellow pie shop owner uses the neighbors cats as meat for her pies. It's because the price of meat is high. You never actually see any cats being killed or used as meat.

A character is shut in a hot oven and burns to death within seconds. The sequence itself is fairly quick and not extremely graphic but is certainly enough to make some viewers uncomfortable.

I guess it's not really excessive but the whole plot of the movie is that Sweeney Todd slits peoples throats and they get put into pies. When he slits their throats a load of fake blood is shown and it's kinda obvious that it is fake but it may still be triggering

Few things. Lovett tells Sweeney that his wife Lucy poisons herself, she doesn't die from this, but it's clear she was trying to kill herself and he assumes she does. Also, at the end, Sweeney allows Toby to slit his throat, which isn't technically suicide, but he did absolutely nothing to stop this when he easily could have.

Sweeney presumably has PTSD from being in prison for fifteen years. He talks about there being "ghosts" and "shadows" everywhere and lives in the past. His wife also has PTSD, as the other comment mentions

i do not know why everyone is voting no. side characters at an asylum are called "lunatics" or "mad". they are mistreated and, although the character who mistreats them is put under a bad light, the mc's are very rude to what it's only fair we identify as mentally ill people.
