Sex & Nudity

  • Charlie puffs his cheeks in some underwater scenes, which may be suggestive to some viewers.
  • Anne-Marie flashes her undies at the camera several times, whilst trying on new dresses. Charlie and Itchy howl upon her doing one of them.

Violence & Gore

  • Carface tries to exterminate Charlie with a Tommy gun, but it fires lasers.
  • During Charlie's escape from the pound, the guards open fire upon him and Itchy.
  • Carface tries to shoot Charlie with a Tommy gun. He is hit, but, due to already being dead, is not injured. The scene is very slapstick and played for laughs.

Profanity

  • While Charlie reads "Robin Hood" to Anne-Marie, he even reads the word "bimbo" from the pages.
  • 1 use of gosh, bimbo and suckers 3 uses of oh my gosh 9 uses of shut up

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • A big group of dogs is shown drinking and smoking, in a bar, fairly briefly. Race announcer has a cigar in his mouth.
  • Carface is always seen with a cigar.
  • Carface got Charlie drunk.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The scene where Anne-Marie overhears Charlie telling Itchy that he is "using the girl" and Anne-Marie breaks down yelling "You're a bad dog!" is very unsettling and thematically emotional.
  • The ending may be emotional for viewers who are coping with the death of a pet and what makes it even more poignant is the fact that Anne-Marie's voice actress died shortly after this film was made.
  • A female dog sees that Anne Marie is very sick and she says she has pneumonia in one scene.
  • This movie is somewhat endearing in a distressing way.
  • When Carface finds out that Charlie is still alive and comes up with a plan (with Killer) to kill him, his face morphs into the Devil.
  • Carface neglects and verbally abuses Anne-Marie causing her to break down crying, this may be upsetting for some viewers.
  • Anne-Marie (for whatever reason) comes down with a lung infection, which consequently involves her coughing HELLISHLY.
  • Later a large demon is shown waiting to collect the dog and calling it, but it is chased away by an "angel".

Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Violence & Gore

  • Charlie is hit by a car and killed in the beginning of the movie.
  • The final confrontation between Charlie and Carface and his gang is a fairly serious, but brief, fight involving punching, kicking, and biting. In the end Carface is eaten by an alligator (implied but not shown) and Charlie drowns after saving Anne Marie.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • As the ghost of Charlie comes to bid Anne-Marie goodbye, the demonic figure of a large (and almost dragon-like) dog-devil outside is calling him to take him to Hell. Then a ball of light arrives to drive it away and informs Charlie that because of his sacrifice to save Anne-Marie, he has earned his place in Heaven again.
  • The end of the movie is somewhat sad and very emotional, though it's lightened by Charlie promising he'll see Anne-Marie again and then urging the heavenly choir to break into a cheerful song, where he and Carface are both shown in humorous situations.
  • Itchy gets jumped and beat up by Carface and his gang.
  • Charlie has nightmare, where he's caught up in a mystical storm and dragged down to Hell, featuring a skeletal demonic boatman, a large (and almost dragon-like) dog-devil, and assorted other fiery demons. This scene is brief but very intense and the music is completely chilling.
