Low level violence
There is little to no violence. A character occasionally struggles to control their emotions, inadvertently unleashing bursts of flames that unrealistically inflict harm upon those around them. These scenes are brief and often comedic, making it less likely to be impactful.
Cruelty
Some scenes show elements being treated differently because of their elemental characteristics. For example, two characters were refused entry to see a plant because of their element. Despite this, the film’s strong messages promotes inclusiveness which helps reduce the impact of these scenes.
