Violence & Gore

Mild
21 of 34 found this mild
We see an extended sequence where Bolt and Penny have to evade a number of pursers. This includes motorcycles and a moment where Bolt jumps over a helicopter's rotors. However, some of this is mitigated by some of the comic moments (inlcuding a moment where a villain with a bomb throws it into the air to avoid being blown up, only to hit a helicopter flying above him). This is then later revealed to be a sequence from a television show.
A similiar scene from the television show is seen being filmed, but this time with an emphasis on the backstage techniques that heavily mitigates any violence in the sequence.
Mittens gets attacked by Bolt and pushed up against a dumpster.
Mittens gets dragged by Bolt and hits a mail box, knocking her out for a short while.
After jumping out of a moving truck travelling fast on the highway, Bolt notices that "red liquid" is coming out of his paw, and Mittens informs him that it's blood. However, you don't see the "red liquid".
A series of events leads to a canister shooting out of a room into a sign that hits a flammable tanker, causing an explosion. No one is injured and played more for laughs. At the pet store.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Mild
23 of 41 found this mild
One jumpscare scene with Bolt pouncing at Mittens.
Dr. Calico's "soldiers" have quite intimidating uniforms with aggressive looking helmets and long nails on their gloves (the hand looks like is from a witch). These pictures can frighten some children.
The first eleven minutes of the movie are quite "dark" and intense: Lots of action, car chasing, car crashes, missiles, large explosions of military helicopters e.tc.. The storytelling is too fast and reminds a lot of adult action movies. Really intense.
None/Mild for neurodivergent viewers.
Pretty bold/adventurous movie.
Bolt dangles Mittens over a bridge by her neck. The street is seen filled with bustling traffic
