Essentially none. There is brief, chaste romance, including Hiccup and Astrid sharing a couple of pecks on the cheek and a brief kiss during their wedding ceremony at the end of the film. A side character, Snotlout, comically and unsuccessfully flirts with Hiccup's mother.

Violence and gore in How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World

Contains moderate, sustained sequences of fantasy action violence, but no blood or gore. Dragons and humans battle with ships being destroyed by dragon fire, and characters are frequently in peril. The main villain's "Deathgripper" dragons are menacing, spraying acid that burns through buildings. A villain falls from the sky to an off-screen death in the ocean.

Language in How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World

Extremely mild. There may be a single use of "Oh my god," but there is no profanity.

Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World

The villain, Grimmel, uses tranquilizer darts filled with dragon venom to subdue and control dragons. He is shown shooting both Toothless and the Light Fury with these darts, causing them to collapse or become compliant. This is depicted as a form of drugging.

Mature themes in How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World

The film's most mature content involves its strong themes. The villain is driven by prejudice, boasting about hunting the Night Fury species to extinction. Themes of animal cruelty are present as dragons are caged and controlled.
