Sex & Nudity

None
100 of 140 found this to have none
In ones scene, a LEGO police officer states that a main character has Ben "convulsing with a strange piece" in which he replies, "that's disgusting!" Could be a reference to adult sex toys.
Vitruvius asks why his pants are cold and wet, to which Wyldstyle responds "ew." (It's revealed that the submarine they are in is leaking)
(NOTE: This is a LEGO "brickfilm", a movie that is filmed with LEGO figurines and bricks. There is no hint or content of or at genitalia, but there are some sexual references, though not explicitly stated.)
The main Lego character briefly walks out of his apartment naked. But, because the character is a LEGO figurine, he has no genitalia.
A running gag throughout the movie is that people are mesmerized by a repetitive and poorly-written TV show in which a man can't find his pants, and walks around in what appears to be thong underwear. Of course, being made of LEGOs, the man has no genitalia.
Lando Calrissian remarks Wyldstyle as "a heavenly body". Only scene here that explicity states a sexual comment.

Violence & Gore

Mild
61 of 99 found this mild
This film does have a high carnage count, but most of the deaths are robots and are not gory. They are shot, stabbed, arms ripped off (in a comical manner), head torn off (again, in a comical fashion), and bashed to pieces.
A CEO who wears a red hat with two flaming red coffee mugs slams Bad Cop's face into a windowpane without injury, then Krazy Glue sticks Bad Cop's parents to their front yard and erases Bad Cop's "good" face. A businessman/CEO orders his robots to destroy a wizard with glowing eyes; the robots attack, but the wizard wins the fight (no one seems hurt).
Master builders are probed for instructions. If they don't obey, they get shocked. A LEGO skeleton can be seen with the characters in pain.
Violent actions appear as if performed by actual Lego pieces; rushing water, fire, laser bolts, explosions, and smoke, all look like the plastic pieces in a Lego set.
Five deputies ride horses off a cliff and fall a long distance, after which we see a small amount of fire and black smoke, indicating the plastic figures and horses "died." In a car chase, sheriff's deputy figures fire automatic weapons with plastic bullets at a male figure (he is not struck); a nearby wall falls on another figure (we do not see the outcome).
A Lego city falls into the sea and pieces of plastic float on top; several figures escape drowning by riding on a double-decker couch and a pirate ship retrieves them while others are picked out of the water by robots with silver skeleton ribs; the robots take the captives to an evil Think Tank and tie them up.
Construction workers blow up two buildings that fall under small puffs of black smoke.
A figure falls from a skyscraper window and hits the ground, then awakens to hazy images of Lego buildings, a human boy, and a human father; the boy stomps on the figure three times (no damage), but later picks him up and tosses him down a cardboard tunnel and into the city; there, micromanager robots and rebels fight until the falling figure arrives in a puff of white plastic "smoke" pieces.
A Bad Cop in a cruiser with lights flashing, on a horse with a flashing blue light on its forehead, and in a police airplane with flashing blue lights chases a construction worker and a freedom fighter on foot; other cops join Bad Cop and they all shoot plastic pieces (bullets) at the two, simulating handguns and automatic rifles, hitting no one; the construction worker falls off a motorcycle and shouts in pain (no injury is visible).
In two scenes, a female figure saves a male figure from robot attacks by using karate kicks and punches to knock down the attackers. Batman and Bad Cop figures fight and flip one another. A female figure kicks an actor figure off a TV stage and he flies off screen.

Profanity

None
67 of 109 found this to have none
Batman and MetalBeard both say the slang term "crap" as exclamations
Towards the end a micromanager is chasing a woman with cats then says stay the hell still
BadCop says "darn, darn, darn, darny, darn (2014 kid friendly version of saying "damn")
Emmet says "Oh, my...". Then Emmet spells "G-O-S-H".
Uses of "darn", "crap", "what the heck!", "hippy dippy baloney", "old man" is used as an insult.
Death threats are said (although infrequently) such as "rest in pieces", "we'll kill ya!", "I just want to throw someone out this window!". There are phrases in this movie you probably don't want your younger child to repeat.
Well, It's PG. Typical name-calling and mild language.
5 mild anatomical terms, 14 mild obscenities, 7 altered religious exclamations (e.g., "Oh my Gosh"), and quite a few minced oaths (e.g., dang, darn, darny darn, Oh man!, kill, heck, Wow, gosh, et al.)
Name-calling (hippy dippy baloney, stupid, crazy, insane, dumb, loser, lame, ding dong, dorky, old man, useless, liar, cowardly, special snowflake, unspecial and weird.)
Stereotypical (though unoffensive) references to wizards, heroes, Big Business CEOs, Big Oil, women, men, followers, the police, cats, Mexicans, the Scottish, TV personalities, micromanagers and controlling fathers.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

None
80 of 98 found this to have none
Cowboy figures drink from glasses of what may be beer in a saloon scene. In that same scene a character spits into a spittoon but the use of chewing tobacco is not implied.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Mild
58 of 108 found this mild
Emmett falls through a completely, grotesquely, distorted hole after saving his friends, his whole vision is grotesque. He then re-enters Bricksburg.
Cleopatra attempts suicide by holding a snake so it bites her. Played for laughs and will likely fly over most kids heads.
This movie is literally 1984 retold in Lego and with tons of humour. The story beats still remain almost the same, so this may unsettle some younger viewers.
None/Moderate for neurodivergent viewers.
Emmett is interrogated by Bad cop and is taken to the "Melting Chamber". However, this entire scene is comical not meant to be scary.
