Parents Need To Know

Positive Messages
Themes of tweens on the verge of puberty, of whether it's better to grow and mature into an adult, or to remain full of child-like wonder and playfulness at the expense of never really changing and maturing.
Positive Role Models & Representations
Violence
A lot of fantasy violence, including swordfights, guns, and hitting below the belt. Pirates are killed, often comically by Captain Hook when they speak to him out of turn. There is a brief graphic image of Captain Hook's amputated arm as he puts on one of his hooks. He kills another sailor with his hook. Crocodile attacks. Demonic imagery: Mermaids might look nightmarish to younger or more sensitive kids.
Sex
Brief nudity of two boys' bare behinds, nonsexual, the result of hanging upside down from a trap. There are a couple of sweet kisses and some references to puberty.

Adult characters, both in the world of adults and Neverland, drink and smoke. A pirate offers liquor and cigars to a child.
