The mother kangaroo can be physically forceful to her child, if I remember correctly. Please see the Is a child abused section for more information.

The kangaroo mother is very rude, manipulative, thinks about (but never actually does) giving her son up to a vulture in exchange for the clover being destroyed, and she wants her son to stay in the pouch throughout the movie, being forceful, possibly even physically forceful, not wanting him to use his imagination and/or disobey her.
The mayor also has so many children that he doesn’t have much time to spend with each child, which is sad, but he does try, and he loves them all. He takes extra time for his only son, but he doesn’t understand him, wanting him to be mayor after him, but the son doesn’t want that.

A bug gets eaten.
Extreme trigger warning: It never actually happens, but a vulture wants a kangaroo child in exchange for destroying the clover, seemingly to eat him, as he is a vulture, and the kangaroo mother says that she’s thinking it over to the child, but decides not to. There are also old animal bones shown in the movie.
A self-aware pet fish seemingly dies, but is brought back afterwards, I am almost 100% certain.

Horton the Elephant gets roped and caged, but is eventually freed. He gets poked with sticks and is stretched, but ends up okay. Earlier he is also (in his daydream) smacked by a tree’s branch and part of his rear is red because of it. Possibly throbbing.

There is a scene in a dentist’s office involving another patient screaming, I think, and the mayor is supposed to get a root canal or something like that, but the speck getting moved interferes.

The mayor’s arm gets accidentally numbed at the dentist’s office. He eventually hits it on something to get it to be not floppy anymore, and it works, but it does hurt.

Not technically a toy, but a child kangaroo says that he has a friend on a flower, (likely fictional,) but his mother destroys it. It is likely fictional, but still can be very sad.

No, but two kangaroos (one being a child) and a vulture are in a cave, and Horton is later put into a cage too small for him to fit comfortably, if at all, made out of sticks and vines, seemingly.

Bananas are fired from the armpits of an ape at Horton, as if the ape is a weapon of some sort. They are even referred to as “ammo”, and Horton makes a comment, possibly a pop culture comment, about “the smell of bananas in the morning”.
