Sex & Nudity

A puppet is pleasantly seen bathing at a river while playing his flute.

Violence & Gore

There is some violence, and deaths occur. The girl is stabbed to death but there is no blood. An reptilian creature dies of natural causes after which his face is shown to crumble and collapse in on itself like ruble.

Profanity

Parents should be warned; there are scenes of torture against a podling and a gelfling by the Skekses that might be frightening for young children. The Skekses are scary-looking creatures that seem to be a mix of a dinosaur and a vulture.

According to the info above: Suggested MPAA Rating: PG for fantasy/action sequences and some scary images.
