SEX/NUDITY 1 - A few kisses on the cheek. Some "male" toys admire lots of dancing Barbies in swimsuits.

VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - Nearly all played for laughs: In a sequence that turns out to be a video game, we see a character exchanging laser beam fire with an army of robots; some robot parts fly to the ground after an explosion and a character gets its torso shot off. A toy flies into a door, a toy is tied onto cardboard and put in a box, a toy is used as a battering ram, a toy tackles another and pulls its arm behind its back, a toy tries to hit another with a pickaxe, a couple of toys scuffle, two toys shoot at each and two boxing toys punch each other. A dog picks up a toy with its mouth, shakes it around, throws it to the ground, then licks its face. A toy's arm rips off and is stitched back on; in a later scene, a toy uses a pickaxe to rip out some of the seams again (and again, the arm is stitched together). A couple of punches and scuffles; several falls and pratfalls. In a dream sequence, a boy throws a toy into a trash can filled with broken toy parts; when the toy tries to climb out, an arm pulls it back down. Twice, a toy grabs onto a moving vehicle and once the toy falls off and rolls on the ground, uninjured. Toys cross a busy street while carrying orange cones over themselves; many cars swerve and screech to a halt to avoid them (some are nearly smashed by truck) and two cars crash into each other. Reckless driving; in one scene, the toys drive a car on a busy street. A man burps on a toy that is standing next to his mouth. Some yelling.
