Finding Nemo (2003) More at IMDbPro »

A male and female fish flirt briefly.

Marlin (who's mostly immune) suddenly realizes that he and Dory are surrounded by an enormous amount of huge jellyfish. He makes it out of them, but then realizes Dory has not and returns to find her stunned. He then gets her out, but not before being repeatedly stung by the tentacles (we hear the shock sounds of each impact).

Marlin, Dory, and Nemo are constantly in some kind of peril throughout the film.

When Dory is accidentally snapped in the nose by goggles, we see a mist of blood come out.

When Marlin sees Dory after the jellyfish incident, she has some bloody cuts on her side.

Mild violence/peril throughout.

Some fishy name calling.

None, although some sharks attend an AA type meeting, while a pelican jokes that another pelican has had too much and it's still only the morning (the second one is stumbling about on a dock due to having Marlin and Dory stuck in his throat, but appears to be drunk to the others).

The sight of a huge shark (Bruce) with a mouthful of sharp and nasty-looking teeth might be scary to younger kids. We then learn that he's going through a step program to help him not eat fish, but when he spots some blood, he sets out after Dory and Marlin (through an old sub and open water) and repeatedly bites at them and slams into various things while trying to get them. They end up in an old sub's torpedo chute with Bruce repeatedly banging into the opening, forcing a torpedo (and thus them) closer to his mouthful of teeth.

The opening sequence with the large predator fish could definitely scare younger kids.

The entire whale sequence is very intense, even to some older viewers.

The net part at the end is quite intense.
