Sex and nudity in Rock Dog
None. A hygiene-obsessed character is occasionally shown wearing only a towel, but it is played for comedy and covers the majority of their body.
Violence and gore in Rock Dog
Moderate for an animated film. There are slapstick brawls, a cage fight involving a grizzly bear, and scenes where characters are shot with tranquilizer darts. We have applied an animation modifier as these characters are anthropomorphic animals in non-realistic settings.
Language in Rock Dog
Mild. The film includes name-calling like 'idiot' and 'moron,' as well as the use of the British term 'bloody.' One instance of the 'f-word' is implied by context but is completely drowned out and censored by a passing car horn.
Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in Rock Dog
Passing. In one brief scene, a character is seen ordering and consuming a glass of champagne, but there is no focus on alcohol consumption.
Mature themes in Rock Dog
The narrative touches on themes of abandonment, duty vs. personal ambition, and the pressure of parental expectations. There is also a plotline involving the kidnapping and threatened consumption of villagers by a pack of wolves.
