Certification
Sex & Nudity
-
- A Radish spirit creature that Chihiro meets in the elevator is wearing a loin cloth and no top, his nipples and his buttocks are visible.
- A girl and a woman are shown with backless tops.
- As two characters fly fast and low to the ground, some women's robes are blown up as they make surprised noises. Nothing is shown.
- Chihiro wears a top that reveals her back.
- A giant baby wears an open-back outfit.
- Brief cleavage is present in the film.
Violence & Gore
-
- Pigs eating human food in the first few minutes is a pretty gross scene.
- No-Face at one point goes on a rampage and eats people, but they are later spat out and revealed to be unharmed. He also vomits violently at different points, and is greedy and gluttonous.
- A stink monster is made of dirty substances. When Sen (Chihiro) rips a fishing rod's lure & hook out of the monster, blood and mucus pour out of the hole along with a lot of other garbage. Not easy to eat while watching.
Profanity
-
- Yubaba's evil twin calls Yubaba's baby a "peabrain"
- Multiple uses of "idiot" and some other name calling. No actual profanity.
- Yubaba threatens to rip Sen's mouth off.
- A man dances around singing, "welcome the rich man, he's hard for you to miss, his butt keeps getting bigger so there's plenty there to kiss!"
- Many characters frequently make fun of Chihiro/Sen for being a human, telling her that she smells bad and that she's lazy and stupid. Lin frequently calls her "dope" which starts out as being rude, but then it just becomes a teasing nickname and they become close friends.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- One character smokes a cigarette; a character has an ash tray with cigarettes in it.
- A character is seen opening a window and smoking a cigarette.
- One character tells a customer that he can buy sake.
- After bathing the polluted river spirit, Yubaba sees the money Sen has made and triumphantly shouts, "Sake's on the house tonight!"
- Sen gives Haku a drug-like ball of what appears to be dirt or mud.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- The film is mostly comforting and heart-warming whilst it is bizarre and unsettling.
- Some spirits are quite strange looking.
- Chihiro's parents are turned into pigs.
- The overall theme is very dark, involving a young girl who is alone, facing the loss of both parents, and is in near constant peril.
- Also the main character is a child (10-years old) is being imprisoned for most of the movie in a strange ghost world. This is a very scary thought.
Spoilers
Sex & Nudity
- Throughout the film, Chihiro and Haku seem to be slightly crushing on each other. And, at the end, they get really close and rub noses (but no kissing). But later on it was confirmed by a director that they just had the siblings type of relationship. The relationship between the two of them can be confusing.
Violence & Gore
- Haku (dragon form) is chased by paper birds who cut him. His blood splatters everywhere in the room (over the walls, etc). His mouth also bleeds. The scene is quite long. The sound of blood being spat out is heard. Kamaji tells Sen that Haku is bleeding internally and she has to stick her arm in his mouth to give him medicine. He has sharp teeth and she nearly gets bitten by him.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- Chihiros parents are tuned into pigs, we see her going to them eating greedily and asking them to leave, before the dad gets whipped by an unseen person and she realises they are now pigs: this scene is surprisingly disturbing
- There's a scene where's Yubaba don't find your baby, then Haku appears and Yubaba says furiously if it was it. We can see your mouth coming out flames and your eyes pop it out. This scene can scare kids.
- No-Face goes berserk. He chases the girl, he eats people (although they are later spat up and revealed to be unharmed) and he also vomits disgusting looking black-goo everywhere. He appears as a black ghost with a white, emotionless-looking face with black streaks that looks more like a mask. We later learn he is very likeable and never harms anyone including the main protagonist.
- The scene in which Haku is attacked by paper birds can be rather intense.
