The main character's dog survives; but the same character implies he has killed his neighbor's dog offscreen.

Gru attempts this but he changes his mind. What happened to the girls’ biological parents is also unknown.

The woman who runs the orphanage neglects and abuses the children (eg. making them stay in a cardboard "box of shame" as punishment). Also, we see in flashbacks that Gru's mother was (and still is) verbally abusive to him; apparently this influenced him to become a villain.

Sort of. Gru and his verbally abusive mother seem to be on relatively good terms and she acknowledges that he is a better parent than her by the end of the movie

There are three orphan girls who are main characters in the film. Their situation is sad (they live in a lonely, cruel orphanage at the start) but we never learn anything about who their parents were or what happened to them, so the loss of their parents isn't a big focus.

Gru's mother shows a photo album to the young girls, including a picture of Gru as a child with long hair and "feminine" clothing. They agree that he "looks like a girl" and laugh at him.

One of the minions (male voiced with masculine names) dresses as a woman to pass as a human family, but it's not revealed comedically or addressed by any of the characters. The main character is later shown dressed like a girl as a child and laughed at.

Near the beginning, the TV news shows guns being fired. Those are the only realistic guns, but throughout the film there's violence from gun-like weapons, like cannons/missile launchers, a gun that freezes its target in ice, and guns that fire squid or piranhas.
