Frightening imagery and scenes
Characters are often in peril. For example, an armada of creatures descend and chase two characters. No serious injuries and wound details are shown.
Characters are seen battling mythical characters. A large lava monster sports terrifying features such as large glowing eyes and flames while in a fierce fight with Maui. Although the animated design and setting makes it less impactful, this may frighten very young viewers.
