The Princess and the Pilot is officially rated PG12. Bontent's independent parent guide recommends it for ages 12+.

The Princess and the Pilot follows Charles, a mercenary aviator of mixed heritage, who is tasked with escorting Princess Juana across enemy-controlled skies during a fictional war. The film focuses on themes of duty, social discrimination, and a burgeoning connection between the two protagonists under constant threat…

There is no explicit content. One fleeting moment shows two characters nearing a kiss before stopping, and a character wears clothing that shows very minor cleavage.

The film features moderate animated violence throughout air battles. Pilots are shot at, with one character sustaining a head graze and shoulder injury from glass shards; blood is depicted on the cockpit window.

Language is very mild. Subtitles occasionally feature words like 'damn' or 'hell' in contexts related to the war or character frustration.

There are brief scenes depicting alcohol consumption. Soldiers are shown drinking beer in a bar setting, and the princess is shown becoming intoxicated in one sequence.

The story deals with heavy themes of systemic racial prejudice against the protagonist, the loss of family during war, and the heavy burden of duty expected of a royal.

The Princess and the Pilot runs 99 minutes, directed by Jun Shishido, released in 2011.
