No real horses die, but a beloved vehicle is destroyed, and the scene of the vehicle’s destruction is purposefully portrayed similarly to the death of a horse.

A dragon, as described in a comment under "does a dragon die". The "mighty steed" mentioned in the other comment is a car that gets destroyed; it's a prized possession of one character but it's never portrayed as alive.

No graphic corpses that i remember, but one scene does have the skeletal remains of past heroes caught in an active trap the protagonist have to navigate.

Near the beginning, there's a shot of a wizard fighting a dragon that gets crushed by falling stones and apparently dies. Later, in a climactic scene, the characters fight and kill a "dragon" that was created via a curse - it's shaped like a dragon, but made out of smoke and rubble rather than flesh and blood. The characters also have a small pet dragon which is not a major part of the film and does not die.

Briefly, a beetle is seen crawling over a skeleton in a creepy ancient dungeon type of place. There are also several scenes with small fairies who have insect-like wings - they are not bugs, but could possibly be upsetting if someone has a deep phobia of winged insects.

A retractable pet leash is used to keep track of one of the characters, but it does not significantly restrict movement.

There are some scary almost-falling moments, and one scene that will be especially difficult to watch if you have a fear of heights (where a character crosses an invisible bridge over a bottomless pit). Nobody actually dies.

The main characters are teenage boys whose father died years before the story begins; his death is not shown on screen. The boys' grief over the loss of their father is a very strong theme of the movie and it will certainly be a difficult watch if you have trouble with this theme.

The brothers travel in a van which is a beloved possession of the older brother; it's not alive but it has a name and he talks about it as though it has a personality, much like a toy. The van ultimately gets sacrificed to allow the brothers to continue their quest, and he's sad about it.

The main characters attempt a magic spell to allow their dead father to visit them for one day. The spell malfunctions and only the father's legs come back (the legs are alive and sentient, and physically solid but glowing and ghost-like). The legs accompany the brothers on their quest throughout the movie.

As mentioned under the parental death question, the boys' father died from an illness many years ago, and their grief is a major theme of the film. It isn't specified that he died from cancer, it could be any terminal illness; some vague details are mentioned like the father being hooked up to a lot of tubes in his hospital bed and that he "didn't look like himself" near the end. For me, this did bring back sad memories of a loved one's death from cancer. Please take care if this is a sensitive subject for you.

Ian can be seen getting visibly upset several times. In one scene, Corey has a midlife crisis and sets a building on fire.

There’s a scene where they have to escape a tall room that’s filling up with water, when they’re at the top there’s not a lot of space and they seem to be distressed so it could be triggering

There is a brief look at a photo of Ian as a baby and one where his mother is pregnant, but there are no babies as part of the main story.

Not entirely "happy" as it is a movie about grief and loss, and many people will cry at the ending, but it ends on a hopeful note as the main characters learn positive lessons and move on with their lives.
