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.

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

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." 😳

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Implied rape, though not shown in details. And somewhat graphic talk about female sex workers around the world.

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

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