The only dogs in the movie are in the background. And they are alive and well.

Mrs Lovett’s entire bakery is crawling with bugs. One crawls out of a pie.

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.

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

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." 😳

The Beadle uses snuff (tobacco that you snort). It's only in one scene and it's brief.

It is a very short scene and it doesn't show much but it is implied that Sweeney Todds wife was r*ped.

The premise is that people are killed, baked into pies, and sold to unknowing customers.

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

The whole premise of the movie is of a barber who kills people by cutting their throats whilst shaving them.

A lot of people are murdered by having their throats slit, and they gasp for air while dying.

Sweeney never cheats on his wife. Mrs Lovett fantasizes about the two of them getting married in an imagined musical number, but is clearly completely uninterested in her, even in her imagination

The judge holds Joanna in his care and even romanticizes her, but I’m not sure if that’s considered kidnapping

There's a few sounds that I found a little disturbing, especially the sound of people's skulls cracking when they're dumped down Sweeney Todd's chute.

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

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.

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.

It's one of the main parts of the movie, as Todd really wants to kill Turpin, and many are killed before then.
